Puzzle Goals

  • Get a certain plant to grow in 1 or more locations
  • Remove a certain plant (or all plants) from 1 or more locations
  • Reach a location

Mechanics

  • Player is localized with a top-down view of the world
  • Player movement is limited
    • mostly to cells containing plant growth
    • unlockable powers may include teleportation, travel through water/air, etc.
  • Limited available actions in each puzzle
  • Unlock actions by completing an associated sub-goal
    • "temples" contain gifts of the gods - additional powers
  • Different plants spread differently, and affect the terrain differently
