I got the game today too and I'm LOVING it! Got my first magic plant (which sells for a pretty penny AND can grow in the cheapest soil!) and am trying to collect the bugs. Had my first crossbreed die due to poor soil, so I'm just going to grow my magic plants for a bit until I have the cash for the better soil.

Another excellent game!

Ooh,I love it too! Haven't got the magic plant yet, and I just ran out of the free demo, on BOTH of my computers and my laptop, and don't have the cash to buy it until Friday (tomorrow). How am I going to SURVIVE?

I will survive until it comes to LDW!! I swear on it I will wait for that!

Hi...how did you learn to play so fast...I have been working on just getting started for an hour now...I have sold some plants..but don't know where to get seed...is there an options button to slow the game down..and minimize the page so that I can do LDW too?
Thanks for your help

Go to the Menu screen and click Options. You can turn off full-screen mode and set the game speed there.

Since you can't play maybe you can help me get started...how did you learn so fast...I have been playing for an hour and can't figure out much...can you give me some ideas?

I've written a mini-walkthrough to help people who are having trouble getting started. You can find it in the Guide Section. There is also a list of tips to help you with game strategy.

im enjoying it as well. wonderful job LDW

I have already found a magic plant!!!!

YIPEE!!! I love this game!!

I love that it tells you the time until the plant gets buds! How cool...

I found the learning to play process fairly simple. I actually haven't bought a single seed yet. I grew the "starter seeds" that were already in my inventory and had those self-pollinate so that I had a stock of seeds. Then I played around with cross-pollinating a little to get some new seeds. Once I found my magic plant, I worked on growing and selling as many of those as possible (while using them to produce more seeds to make more of them) until I had enough cash for the best soil.

Now I'm back to cross-pollinating to see what else I can find. I have to start getting serious about my charting though since only the "first generation" seeds tell you their parent plants.

OMG, I just LOVE this game, where do I start, my fingers won't type fast enough. In the nursery, when the customers love a plant they do this dance, ohhhhh so cute. I see a lot of familiar faces among the customers, the villagers are envogue. Wow. My plants are so beautiful, but I've run into a little trouble keeping them healthy,because I had this idea....cross pollenate, well I've got some pretty unusual varieties but they are not doing well. Maybe the second string will do better, but they are selling. I've got a great _bug_ collection. It's taken me back to my childhood, but I don't have to worry about them getting out of the jars. GREAT, game LDW. Gotta go, gotta check on my plants....lp7p

This game is the best! I was eagerly waiting for it and it certainly did not disappoint. It's visually stunning, I love the music and am having the best time trying to catch those bugs. I wanted to call out sick to work today but I figured I would play all night!
