## Description
**A small island drifts in the sky. Everything it needs is in your tray. The order you place things decides what it becomes.**
Skyseed is a growth puzzle. Each turn you place one piece on the island, and every piece already there reacts: water wakes the seed, the flower draws the bee, the fire gathers people. Place everything in the right order and the whole island grows into its final form. Get it wrong and things stall, branch off into odd forms, or are ruined by the wrong neighbours. Those endings are worth seeing too.
### How to play
- Tap or click a piece in the tray to place it. One piece per turn.
- Watch what grows. Little couriers carry growth from one piece to another.
- Thought bubbles show which piece a stuck piece is waiting for.
- Undo freely, or ask for a hint when you're stuck.
- Reach most of an island's growth to unlock the next one.
### Six islands
- **Moonlit Marsh:** willows, frogs, fireflies and wisps under a full moon
- **Frost Isle:** pines, foxes, penguins and an explorer's lantern under the aurora
- **Dune Isle:** an oasis, camels, falcons and a nomad's camp
- **Ember Isle:** a volcano, crystals, salamanders and a dragon
- **Meadow Isle:** seeds, flowers, bees and a little village
- **Sky Kingdom:** kites, balloons, airships and a pegasus over a castle in the clouds
### Features
- Branching growth: many pieces have alternate forms and bad endings to discover
- A journal that records every stage you've found, with clues for what comes next
- Hints that know whether a perfect island is still possible
- Achievements for perfect islands, full journals and strange outcomes
- A generated soundtrack and growth chimes for each island
- Saves automatically; works on phones and tablets, with optional vibration
- Keyboard shortcuts: `1`–`0` place pieces, `H` hint, `Z` undo, `Space` skip animation
