About Garden Survive
Welcome to Garden Survive, an exhilarating survival game set in a vibrant cube-themed garden! Navigate through a whimsical landscape filled with challenges as you control your cube characters. Your primary objective is to dodge various dangers lurking around the garden, including falling walls, spiked woods, and razor blades that move towards you, all while trying to extend your survival time.
The genre lives on a calm pace, clear rules that never change unfairly and levels that teach one idea at a time. Garden Survive understands that, and it shows in the first minute of play. Under the surface it is a test of pattern recognition and logic, dressed up in relaxing presentation.

Tips and tricks
- Look for forced moves — places where only one option is legal. Solving those first shrinks the problem.
- Read the whole board before your first move. In most puzzle games the first move is the most important one, and it deserves ten seconds of looking.
- Use undo or restart freely. Experimenting is how you learn the mechanics; there is no penalty for trying an idea.
- Do not memorise solutions, memorise principles. The level after this one will use the same idea in a new arrangement.
- Because this is a Farm game, plant the fastest crop first to build cash.
