Tulipella: Garden Merge

Merge three of a kind, grow your own crops, and turn a forgotten piece of countryside into a garden that you love.

Tulipella is a relaxing merge game about tending a garden that is entirely your own. No lives, no levels to fail, no countdowns telling you to hurry. Just a board that gets better every time you touch it.

You start with a few apple seeds and one small plot. Merge the seeds into sprouts, the sprouts into young trees, the young trees into an apple tree you can harvest three times over. Sell the apples at the old roadside shop, merge the coins it pays you, and spend the gold on the next plot of land. Every new plot brings a crop you have not grown before, or a building worth putting back together.

== MERGE THREE OF A KIND ==
- Drag any item next to two of its own kind and it merges into the next one up
- Merge more than three at once and you get more back, nine in a group pays four items instead of three
- 18 merge chains to work through, from apple seeds and blackberry buds to planks, stone, cider and gold

== MERGE YOUR MONEY TOO ==
- Merchants pay you in coins that land on your board as things to merge, not numbers in a wallet
- A bronze coin is worth 1 gold, and the spiked coin at the top of the chain is worth 243
- Cash out early or stack them up first, patience is worth gold

== GROW YOUR OWN CROPS ==
- Seven crops to grow: apples, strawberries, blackberries, carrots, corn, sunflowers, and pumpkins
- Your gardener's bag fills itself back up, so there is always another seed waiting for you
- Plants ripen while the app is closed. Come back and tap them to gather the harvest
- A spent plant leaves a tile to clear. Put a worker on it and the ground comes back

== CLEAR THE LAND ==
- Twelve plots of land, most of them overgrown with old oaks, and one buried under rock
- Chop the oaks for planks and break the rocks for stone, the raw materials behind every repair
- Reach the right level, put the gold together, and the next plot opens up by itself

== TRADE WITH THE MERCHANTS ==
- Repair the roadside shop and the orangery, then fill the orders they post for your produce
- Rebuild the cider press, the chicken coop, the stone oven, and the cauldron
- Press apples into cider, bake pies, cook soup, and gather eggs from the coop
- A bottle of cider fetches far more from a merchant than a single apple ever will
- Upgrade a merchant and it handles more orders at once

== INVITE THE WILDLIFE IN ==
- Butterflies, songbirds, and hedgehogs turn up in a garden that is being looked after
- Merge a creature all the way up its chain and it settles in with you for good
- A settled creature quietly leaves crystals behind for you to collect

== COME BACK EVERY DAY ==
- Fresh tasks every day, paying out in gold, crystals, and seeds for your gardener's bag
- Level your garden up for a lump of crystals, energy, and a bagful of seeds
- Every item you find is written into your collection book, so you can see what is missing
- Watch a short ad for extra energy, up to five times a day

== PLAY AT YOUR OWN PACE ==
- A hand-drawn isometric garden you lay out yourself, tile by tile, and rearrange whenever you like
- Drag your plants and items anywhere on your land, pinch to zoom, plan the board how it suits you
- Plays without a connection, and syncs back up when you are in signal again
- Play in portrait with one hand, or turn the phone for a wider view of the garden
