The whole game

Some cells are buds — hollow diamonds. Tap cells to plant seeds, up to the level’s limit. Press Grow and the garden runs on its own. If a single generation ever has every bud alive at once, you win. The check starts at generation 1, so planting straight onto the buds proves nothing. Reset gives you your seeds back, exactly where you left them, so you can move one cell and try again.

Stone cells cannot be seeded, but Life grows across them normally.

The only two rules

Every cell looks at its eight neighbours, and the whole garden updates at once.

Pattern primer

These are the shapes the levels are built from. Each grid below is running the real game engine, so it can never disagree with the garden.
