Heart Button — Vitality

The main game action. Tap this button to give vitality to your plant. Each tap increases the vitality level.

  • Too few taps → vitality at 0% → your plant dies
  • Too many taps → vitality at 100% → growth stops
  • The goal is to stay in the ideal zone
💡 Tip Watch the vitality drop rate to calibrate your tap frequency and maintain the perfect balance.
🦟

Mutant Insects — Attack

Tap on an insect to eliminate it before it drains your plant's energy. Insects appear randomly and get faster as you progress.

  • Each uneliminated insect reduces your vitality
  • Eliminating insects earns you points
  • Priority: insects closest to the plant first

Bonus Buttons

Bonus slots appear during the game. Tap them to activate the corresponding effect. Each bonus is single-use with a limited duration.

→ See the "Bonuses" tab for details on each power-up.

❄️

Vitality Freeze

Temporarily freezes the vitality bar. Your plant does not lose vitality during the bonus duration, allowing you to focus on eliminating insects.

💡 When to use? Ideal when many insects appear simultaneously or when your vitality drops dangerously.
🐌

Slow Down

Slows down all mutant insects currently on screen. Makes them easier to eliminate and reduces pressure on your plant for a few seconds.

💡 When to use? Most effective when insects are plentiful and fast, in advanced game phases.

Score Boost

Temporarily multiplies your point gains. All points earned during the bonus duration are increased — whether from taps or insect elimination.

💡 When to use? Save this bonus for moments when many insects are present to maximize the points earned.
🔥

×3 Combo

Triggers a x3 point multiplier for a short duration. This is the most powerful bonus in the game — every action during the combo is worth three times more points!

💡 Pro tip Combine ×3 with the Score Boost for astronomical points! This is the key to climbing the global leaderboard.
🎯

Master the Balance

  • Tap steadily, not frantically
  • Keep an eye on the vitality bar at all times
  • If vitality rises too high, resist the urge to tap
  • If it drops too low, speed up your tapping
🎮

In-Game Priorities

  • 1. Keep vitality in the green zone
  • 2. Eliminate incoming insects
  • 3. Activate bonuses at the right moment
  • 4. Aim for the x3 combo with the boost
🏆

Leaderboard Strategy

  • Completing weekly challenges earns a lot of points
  • Winning PvP duels boosts your rank
  • Progress on all seeds, not just one
  • Log in regularly so you don't miss challenges

Unlocking Seeds

Each seed unlocks when you reach the final growth stage AND the required score with the previous seed. Check the collection screen for exact unlock conditions.

💡 Good to know There's also an option to unlock a seed via rewarded ads if you're stuck.
