Gravity pulls the seed down and the wind pushes it sideways. A gust lifts it along its tilt and uses fuel.

Touch down on a flat soil pad at no more than 6 m/s and within 12° of upright. Anything else is a crash.

Each pad shows its multiplier. A landing scores more when it is slow and upright, and refills some fuel.

Fuel carries over between gardens. A crash costs one of three seeds and restarts the garden with the fuel you had when it began.

How to play

Goal. Plant the maple seed on a soil pad in each of ten windy gardens.

Flying

Left and right (or A and D, or the curved-arrow buttons) tilt the seed. Up, W, Space or the Gust button blows a gust that lifts the seed along its tilt.
Gravity always pulls down, and the wind pushes sideways; the arrow in the corner shows its direction and strength. Wind changes from garden to garden and rises and falls during a flight.
Gusts use fuel. Fuel carries over to the next garden, and each landing refills a little.

Landing

Touch down with both feet on a flat soil pad at no more than 6 m/s and within 12° of upright. The speed and tilt readouts turn red when you are outside those limits.
Narrow pads have bigger multipliers (×2, ×3, later ×5). Slower, straighter landings score more.
Missing the pad, landing too fast or tipping over is a crash and costs one of three seeds. The garden restarts with the fuel you had when it began.
