Night Garden
A firefly guards the vegetable patch from dusk to dawn with pulses of light.
A firefly guards the vegetable patch through the night. Moths drift in loose lines, midges zip about, armoured beetles shrug off pulses, spittlebugs spit seeds, bats swoop and snails hide in turning shells, and every fifth wave a Giant Slug slides in. Shoo every pest with pulses of light before it reaches the vegetables, keep the cabbages from being nibbled away, catch glow-ups and build your streak. Play the long night, Tonight’s garden with everyone else, or practise any wave in the greenhouse.

How to play
