How to playorPlay with friendsTry it solo

A pod of coloured beans turns in the middle of a square garden, and each of you shoots beans into it from your own wall. Three alike pop, and whatever hangs from them falls. Every hit turns the pod for everyone, so you can spin a group round to a friend. Together, clear it before it grows to the dashed ring; in Battle, send it towards each other; or tug a chain of beans along a vine into your rival's garden.

How to play

  1. Your wall is always at the bottom of your screen. Drag to aim; a dotted line shows the shot and a ring where it will stick. Let go to shoot.
  2. Three or more alike pop. Beans that no longer hang on the seed in the middle fall, for double points.
  3. Every hit turns the pod for everyone, harder off-centre. Shots bank off the walls, back towards the pod.
  4. Together: clear the pod before any bean reaches the dashed ring. Pop within a second of a friend for double, or pass them your bean.
  5. In Battle, the pod reaching your side of the garden costs a life, and dropping beans sends stones to a rival. In the vine tug, pops push the chain towards your rival's garden.
