Uhhhh....? I have no clue what the point of this game is. The controls barely work. I couldn't use mouse/keyboard at all, it only registered about 1/3 of my clicks. Controller was better but still spotty. I went into the "controls" menu and got locked there (had to ctrl-alt-delete to get out).

When I finally got it working, it's just confusing... you have a big square of dirt, with your goal of making "best garden" (zero explanation what that means) by placing stuff in the tiles of dirt and you have 60 seconds to do it. On one level, I attempted to make nice ponds and strategically placed some rocks and really tried to make it look varied and interesting, and got a terrible score. The next level, I just put the same flower on every tile and got 50/50 points. What even is this? What's the point?
