Reach for the Sun

Reach for the Sun is a strategy game about growing a plant through its lifecycle and helping it reproduce before winter. You manage starch, nutrients and water, making choices about limited resources while keeping the plant healthy against external pressures such as winter weather.

Grow and reproduce

Take control of a flower’s seedling and guide it through a year. Gather and manage resources to create flowers and fruits, and learn about plant anatomy and function as you shape the plant’s growth. You can grow up to four plant types, each with its own attributes and challenges.

Game modes

Strategy mode uses a set number of turns and has no time limit. Plants automatically collect resources between turns, and you balance the plant and maximize resources each turn to fruit every flower before winter.

Plants and pollination

The prickly pear cactus is among the plants you can grow. Cacti have no leaves; photosynthesis takes place in their enlarged stems, so they require a different approach to growing. Creating nectar spawns a bee, which you click and drag onto a female flower to pollinate it.

Garden upgrades

You earn upgrades to enhance your garden, including preying mantids that control pests.
