Lore

Sunflower still produces sun so you can plant more plants. After that dream, though, Sunflower somehow gained a matching ability that raises its sun production.

The tricky part is deciding how to line them up. Three, four, and five in a row all produce different results; if several lines form at once, several effects can trigger together.

Mechanics

Role

Sun production · Match bonus

  • Base data: 50 sun; 7.5s recharge; 400 HP.
  • Produces sun normally. First production is about 5–10s after planting; later production ranges from about 30s to 7.5s by level.
  • Three in a row: consumes the matched Sunflowers and grants 250 sun value (10 normal sun pickups); upgraded levels add more.
  • Four in a row: keeps and upgrades one primitive-petaled Sunflower, with 150 sun value (6 normal sun pickups) as the base reward; upgrades cap at level 4.
  • Five in a row: keeps one Twin Sunflower that produces 50 sun value (two normal sun pickups) per cycle, with 250 sun value (10 normal sun pickups) as the base reward.

Interactions & counters
