Gardenscapes is a match-3 puzzle game where players restore a garden by completing levels and collecting resources. Players match three or more identical pieces in a row to clear them from the game board. Matching four or more pieces creates power-ups, which can be used to clear more tiles.
Power-ups in Gardenscapes include firecrackers, bombs, dynamite, and TNT. Firecrackers clear all neighboring tiles when matched with four pieces of the same color. Bombs clear everything within a two-tile radius when matched with five pieces of the same color. Dynamite clears everything within a three-tile radius when matched with six pieces of the same color. TNT clears everything within a four-tile radius when matched with seven or more pieces of the same color.
Generators produce pieces and other game elements like power-ups, fireworks, and acorns. These can be activated by freeing up space below them, adding an additional layer of strategy to the game.
Gameplay involves completing levels by matching pieces and using power-ups to clear the board. The goal is to restore the garden by completing various tasks and events. This combination of match-3 gameplay and garden restoration makes Gardenscapes engaging and challenging.
Gardenscapes also features various events and competitions. These include renovation and redesign events, bowling matches, and treasure hunts. These events offer additional challenges and rewards, making the game even more enjoyable.
