Meet Tilth, a small garden puzzle game
We made a small game. Tilth is a free garden puzzle game that you play in your browser. You can also install it as an app, and then it works offline. It has no ads, no account and no cookies. It is inspired by Topsoil, an iOS game from 2017.

How to play
- The garden is a 4×4 board. You put plants from a queue on empty tiles.
- Every few turns, you use the sickle. With it, you harvest a group of matching plants that touch each other on the same soil.
- Harvested tiles turn into the next soil, so the board keeps changing.
- Each plant in a group is worth more than the last one: 1, 2, 3, 4… times its value. A bee adds +1 to every plant in its group.
Seven plants
- Clover, poppy and bluebell: 1 point.
- Puffball: 2 points, but it rots after 3 harvests.
- Sunflower: 3 points. It grows in 2 harvests.
- Birch: 6 points. It grows in 3 harvests.
- Redwood: 15 points. It grows in 5 harvests.
Slow plants start as sprouts. You cannot harvest a sprout until it grows.
