Balcony Garden Boom

About This Game

Grow and sell veggies on your balcony. Crops keep growing while you're away. The Seed Shop restocks every 5 minutes. Weather can mutate crops to sell for much more. Hatch pets to speed up growth.

Start with 20 yen and nine empty planters, and grow your own garden. You can first buy carrot seeds for 10 yen each, and they grow in 7 seconds. Sell your harvest, then move up to pricier seeds like strawberries, blueberries, and tomatoes. There are 8 crops in all, and the priciest, apple seeds, cost 2,000,000 yen.

A fruit's price depends on its weight, so heavier fruit sells for more. Once in a while, you'll get a golden fruit that sells for 20 times the normal price, or a rainbow fruit that sells for 50 times. During rain, thunderstorms, and cold snaps, fruit may get a mutation: "Wet," "Shocked," or "Chilled." Deciding whether to sell right away or wait for the weather to change is part of the fun.

You can expand to as many as 36 planters. Sparrows and cats that hatch from eggs can be equipped, up to 3 at a time. The collection book lists the crops you've harvested, plus any golden, rainbow, and mutated fruit you've found.

Your garden's value, which adds up your money, items, and more, can be compared with other players on the daily and all-time rankings. Your garden is saved, so you can pick up where you left off with "Continue" the next time you open it.

How to play

Buy seeds at the Seed Shop and tap an empty planter to plant. Tap a glowing planter to Harvest; fruit goes in your Backpack. Sell fruit at the Market to afford better seeds. Crops grow for up to 24 hours while the game is closed. Buy an egg in Pets and hatch it to Equip a pet that boosts growth. Tap "Go to Leaderboard" to post your Garden Value.

Tips

• Weather mutations only happen while the game is open. Fruit keeps growing while the game is closed, but it won't mutate.
• If a Wet fruit gets chilled by a cold snap, it becomes Frozen and sells for 10 times the normal price.
• Equipping a cat raises the chance of golden fruit from 2.5% to 5%.
• Fertilizer cuts the remaining growing time in half, and the watering can cuts it by a quarter. The longer a crop takes to grow, the more time you save.
• Your inventory holds up to 200 fruits. When it's full, you can't harvest, so sell often at the shop.
