  • Premise
    • Flowers no longer grow in the post-apocalyptic city inhabited by both humans and talking animals.
    • To grow flowers again, Sherbet must plant the seed of the Wonder Flower. Her cat Gelato however says she needs 3 items to help it grow.
  • Basic rules
    • The game is functionally a series of fetch quests. Retrieve various items for NPCs to find the items you need to make the Wonder Flower grow.
    • Each fetch quest is nestled. To retrieve one item, you often fulfill another request from another person.
    • In turn, you must often acquire your own
  • Basic controls
    • For the most part, you’ll need to jump and climb to get around.
      • Not every part of the city will be immediately accessible.
      • To cover more ground and more effectively reach every part of town, you need to acquire the following items:
        • Magic gloves: Use these to climb chains.
        • Spiked shoes: These let you break glass barriers.
        • Magic feather: Use this to ascend using updrafts.
      • Some parts of the city can only be reached after you acquire these items.
    • Interact with the people to learn what they need.
      • Some citizens will not provide a quest, or seem to be that way for awhile.
      • Often, citizens will give you items once you’ve fulfilled a request.
      • Other times, the quest items will be found lying around the world. Pick them up.
      • To give a citizen an item, simply interact with them again
  • Map
    • The city can be divided into 3 basic parts.
      • Groundline is your starting point and represents the lower dilapidated levels of the city.
      • The Sewers represent the under level of the city. Explore this next to find more quest chains.
      • Highloft is the affluent part of the city and is only accessible once you have the magic feather or can climb.
    • The majority of the exchanges will happen between Groundline and the Sewers.
  • Inventory
    • The inventory menu shows your inventory, powerups, and a map of the world.
    • Use the inventory to keep track of your chain of quests.
• Walkthrough and tips (spoilers)
  • General tips
    • Interact with as many people as you can and initiate as many quest leads as you can. This will help you cut down on backtracking later down the line.
    • Pay attention to where the characters are so you’ll know where to go.
  • Recommended Quest Order
    • Fulfill Lee’s quest to get his jewelry back.
      • Lee will be the first person you meet.
      • His request chain doesn’t require any upgrades. Simply time your jumps correctly to get to the location of the items.
      • His wife’s necklace will be to the left side of the screen, whereas the ring will be just above you to the right side.
      • Getting the ring requires a lot of jumps.
      • Lee will reward you with the gloves you need to climb the chains.
    • By this time, you’d have already known of both Raphelo’s missing cheese and Bruce’s missing watch.
      • To acquire Bruce’s watch, do the following:
        • Jump and climb over several sets of chains to the right side of the screen.
        • Once you reach the platform where the watch is, pick it up, then fall back down.
        • Return to Bruce. He will immediately give you the first item you need: The bucket.
      • Raphelo’s quest is the first chain deal you must accomplish.
        • Raphelo needs cheese, which is with the rat in the sewer. Climb down to meet the rat in the sewer.
        • The rat will demand a hot dog in exchange for the cheese.
      • While in the sewer, meet up with Los, the loveless monster, and one of the snail sisters, the red snail Katherine.
        • Get the letter from Katherine.
        • Los will not give you anything for now.
      • Get the hot dog for the rat.
        • Return to the surface and run and jump toward the left side of the screen. You will need to climb and jump off chains to get there.
        • A few levels up will be a hot dog stand run by Harold. Pick up a free hot dog.
        • Return to the sewers and give the rat the hot dog.
      • Return to Raphelo with the cheese.
        • At the end of this chain, he will give you the spiked shoes, which you’ll need to break through glass.
        • He will also start making pizza. This will be critical for the next chain of quests.
    • Meet up with Phi the monster near the left side of the screen.
      • She will initiate a small chain of deals in the sewers between her and Los.
        • Send Los the rock Phi sent.
        • Send Phi an eyeball from Los.
        • Send Los Phi’s number.
      • Once Los gets Phi’s number, he’ll give you a magic feather in appreciation.
      • Interact with the Adolescent Warrior Tortoises in the sewer grate.
        • Their first request will be a hotdog, then a pizza.
        • Fulfill these quests once you finish bringing Phi and Los together. You’ll need that magic feather.
    • Fulfill Katherine’s and the tortoises’ chain.
      • Katherine’s first sister, Elaine the yellow snail, is located near where you picked up Lee’s ring. Use the updraft to take you there.
      • Her second sister, Phoebe the purple snail, is accessible through an updraft not far from Raphelo’s.
        • Phoebe will give you another letter to send to Katherine.
        • Return to the sewers to meet Katherine and give her the letter.
        • The grateful Katherine will give you a gold key.
      • Along the way, pick up a hot dog, then a pizza for the tortoises.
        • Pick up a hotdog on the way from Phi and Los.
        • Pick up the pizza on the way to Phoebe.
        • Once you finish this chain of quests, the tortoises will give you all-natural fertilizer, the second item on the list.
    • Fulfill Lureline’s request
      • Lureline is your first quest in the Highloft. She plans to give her son a packed lunch, but needs an egg to top it off.
        • Pick up the egg somewhere near the Highloft attic. Fortunately, this is right above Lureline.
        • Return to Lureline. She’ll then give you the packed lunch.
      • Meet her son Pekelo, in Groundline. You likely met him already earlier in the game.
      • Give Pekelo the finished lunch and he’ll give you another gold key.
    • Opening the gate.
      • Return to the Highloft and look for the Keymaster, a rat who guards a locked door.
      • Give the Keymaster 2 keys. Here, you can go to another attic area where they store a watering can.
      • Pick up the can and return to your starting position, then talk to Gelato.
  • Target Audience
    • The game is suited for players who like platforming games.
    • The game has no adult themed content.
