*Plant by day. Squash slimes by night.*

**Genre:** Adventure / Platformer
**Tags:** Adventure, Platformer, Farm, Space, Cozy, Arcade
**Platforms:** Desktop, Mobile

## Description

Platik is a kid rancher on a chain of floating islands. Plant on the glowing soil, harvest when the crops sparkle and fly the harvest to the rocket. When night falls, slimes crawl out of the craters to eat your ripe crops — jump on them, or dive from above to squash them in one go.

The twist is the day-and-night cycle: crops grow in sunlight and slimes hunt in the dark. Three worlds (Meadow Belt, Dusk Rings, Night Core), 15 hand-designed levels, four objective types, a Slime King boss, an upgrade shop, stars and daily rewards.

### What's in the game

- Jetpack and glider wing: hold jump to fly, keep holding with an empty tank to glide.
- Dive (down in the air) to squash any slime and bounce higher.
- Objectives: deliver crops, collect star seeds, night watch, boss fight.
- Comets with a ground warning, big slimes, lanterns that slow slimes.
- Shop: jet tank, moon boots, basket, star fertiliser, bright lantern (4 tiers each).
- Stars per level (complete · score · perfect), 7-day daily reward streak, progress saved on this browser.
- Original vector art, synthesised day/night music and ~24 sound effects (see CREDITS.md).
