Hi Eggplant!

Hi Eggplant! is a gardening game set in a small courtyard with ten plots. You tend eggplants from planting through flowering and fruiting, with the goal of harvesting 10. Soil depth, watering and fertilizer affect how your seedlings grow, so you observe their condition and adjust your care day by day.

Tend your garden

Tilling, watering and fertilizing each require the right amount of tool charge: loosen the soil, keep young plants watered and avoid over-fertilizing, since a full charge can be too much. In-game tips help you learn how to use the tools. You can inspect soil and plants with a magnifying glass, then decide whether to water, weed, prune or add soil around a plant’s base. Daily stamina is limited, and letters in the mailbox offer growing tips.

Pests sometimes trigger a bug-battle minigame. Dodge the swarm and use your sword to clear pests from the affected plot.

Choose a challenge

The game has two modes:

• Steady Growth: Start with 10 seeds. Planting uses one seed, and harvesting an eggplant returns three, up to a maximum of 10 seeds held. If a plant dies, you can continue while you still have seeds or living plants; clear dead plants and use what you learned in your next planting.
• Classic Hardcore: Keep every plant alive. A single plant death ends the run, and harvesting does not return seeds.

Harvest and improve

Harvest 10 eggplants to complete either mode. Each eggplant receives a Silver, Gold or Purple Star rating. Learn from mistakes and refine your care to grow more Purple Star eggplants.
