Garden Growth

Plant, Grow, Sell, Thrive!

Welcome to Garden Growth, a cozy farming simulator where you cultivate a vibrant garden, trade with a wandering merchant, and manage your crops to build a flourishing fortune! Start with a small plot and a few seeds, then grow your way to riches by planting, watering, and upgrading a variety of crops, from quick-growing carrots to majestic mango trees. But watch out—crops spoil fast, and your garden needs constant care to thrive!

Game Features

  • Diverse Crops: Plant 15 unique crops, including fast-growing carrots, juicy blueberries, and high-value fruit trees like orange, apple, peach, and mango. Each has its own growth time, cost, and sell price!
  • Super Crops: Get a rare 5% chance for any crop to become a Super Crop, doubling its value with a shiny yellow glow—perfect for big profits!
  • Merchant Trading: Every 2 minutes, a merchant visits with exclusive seeds and tools. Scroll through their inventory to grab rare crops, a reusable Watering Can, or the legendary Super Apple (20% chance to appear)!
  • Fruit Tree Challenges: Grow fruit trees by watering them with the Watering Can to unlock their long growth cycles and massive rewards.
  • Spoilage & Strategy: Harvest ripe crops within 60 seconds to avoid spoilage, which can spread to nearby plants. Remove spoiled crops or lose your garden to chaos!
  • Upgrades & Economy: Spend your earnings to boost crop growth speed, buy new seeds, or clear your plot. Your money is securely saved for future sessions.
  • Simple & Addictive Gameplay: Easy-to-learn mechanics with deep strategy—balance planting, selling, and trading to maximize your profits.
  • Charming Visuals: Watch your garden bloom with colorful sprites, progress bars, and a delightful stickman merchant, all in a retro pixel style.
