—A fast, wave-based roguelite where you grow weapon upgrades instead of wielding them. Plant, link, and defend your drone garden against alien infestations.
Galactic Gardener is a short-session roguelite about growing your own firepower. You pilot an autonomous terraforming drone left behind on a dead world, fighting back a mutation outbreak with weaponized plants.
Each run unfolds on a compact garden of planters, each holding up to six evolving plants. Between waves, you graft, link, and rearrange flora to forge deadly synergies — roots link shields, spores chain explosions, vines feed pulse cannons. Every placement matters, and every plant can turn against you.
Humanity may have left, but your directive remains: Cultivate for their return. The question is — what will still be alive when they do?
