Overview

About this game

Moon Garden Optimizer is a puzzle strategy game about generating oxygen for a moon habitat while conserving as much water as you can.  With the power of unlimited undo, you can retry until you're satisfied with your own score.

For fans of Dominion and other deckbuilders.  However, this game has no shuffling, and no RNG.  Each round starts with a different set of available plants, and you must formulate a strategy to combine them.

Features

  • 63 plants and tools with distinct effects

  • 30 hand-picked scenarios, and billions of other possibilities.

  • A robot trained on all the world's knowledge, but who still feels like an impostor.

  • Graphs

  • Cacti

  • Graphs of cacti

About the development

I am a solo hobby developer.  This is a tightly-scoped single-screen experience, polished to be endlessly replayable.  I created something that I wanted but could not find elsewhere: a crunchy strategy game with unlimited undo.
