ORBITAL GREENHOUSE

A Botanical Space Station

Manage a 4x4 greenhouse grid aboard a space station. The sun rotates around the station each round (Left -> Bottom -> Right -> Top).

Light travels straight across the grid. Tall plants cast shadows on cells behind them.

Plant cards have 3 growth stages: Seed -> Sprout -> Bloom. Lit plants grow each round. Shadowed plants stall.

4 Biomes: Jungle Desert Tundra Aquatic

Symbiosis: Same-biome adjacent plants get +2 VP. Play 16 rounds against an AI gardener!

How to Play

Click a plant card in your Hand to select it, then click an empty cell in your 4x4 greenhouse to plant it.
Each plant has a Biome (Jungle, Desert, Tundra, Aquatic), VP value, and may be Tall.
Click End Round to advance. Lit plants grow one stage: Seed → Sprout → Bloom.
The Sun rotates each round: Left → Bottom → Right → Top. Light crosses the grid from that direction.
Play 16 rounds against an AI gardener. Most VP wins!

Objective

Score more VP than the AI. VP comes from each plant's base value plus growth stage bonuses (+1 for Sprout, +3 for Bloom). Symbiosis: same-biome adjacent plants earn +2 VP per pair.

Tips & Hints

Tall plants cast shadows on cells behind them (relative to sun direction) when Bloomed — plan placement carefully.
Group same-biome plants together for Symbiosis bonus VP.
Track the sun rotation — plant seeds in cells that will be lit for the next few rounds to maximize growth.

Controls

Mouse: Click hand cards to select, click greenhouse cells to plant. Sun icon cells show lit/shadowed status.
