The goal of Garden Tales is to swap flowers, fruits, and vegetables to make matches of three or more. Complete the challenge to pass the levels.
Garden Tales is centered on switching tiles to make matches. The tiles can store plants such as fruits, flowers, and botanics, resulting in a lovely garden backdrop for games. The player has a limited number of moves to complete several objectives, which are displayed at the start of each level - objectives must be completed in order to progress to the next level. Level objectives vary greatly, some need the removal of a specific number of fruits, while others may involve the removal of dirt. A counter at the top of the game board displays the remaining objective items.
A player will fail the level and lose a life if they are unable to fulfill an objective within the move limit. A maximum of 15 lives can be held by a player at any given moment. Navigate to the main map screen and look for the heart icon in the upper left corner to see how many lives you have. Keep an eye out for hints (wobbling plants) if you get stuck! You can even buy an extra five moves for a whopping 2400 coin, this option appears when you're about to run out of moves.
Valid moves make horizontal or vertical matches and must include at least three matching elements (flowers, fruit, or vegetables). When a tile is matched, the items within it are removed.
Use the mouse.
