Moon Garden Optimizer
About this Game
Moon Garden Optimizer is a miniature economic strategy puzzle game. Grow a tiny garden on the moon while conserving water. Use unlimited undo to try again, but do it better. Each garden has a randomized toolset to make it unique.
It’s a deck builder, but without a deck, and without RNG. It’s a roguelike sokoban farming sim. A difficult game with the low pressure of a cozy game.
Not guaranteed to work on mobile devices.
Expanded version on Steam
An expanded version of this game has been released on Steam. The expansion includes 30 more plants and tools, and more scenarios. Check it out!
That said, the free version here on Itch functions as a standalone, and has plenty of content already.

This game is so addictive (compliment)
i also had a hard time understanding how to spend berries to get energy, so for anyone else—if you just try to use energy after your energy is at 0, you will automatically use berries. also this game is awesome, i had a lot of fun w it
It was interesting but I had no idea how to spend berries to get energy, so never made it past the pine tree in the tutorial.
Thanks for the feedback! Gems are automatically spent whenever you try to spend more energy than you have available.
