A Dreaming Ladybug

You are the "Dreaming Gardener" — an observer who reshapes an ecosystem from the outside.

Breed ladybugs that carry numbers on their backs, manage their flow, and send them into the black moon at the center of the garden, in this ecosystem-management + slot game.

Every time five ladybugs reach the moon, the moon's reels spin and the outcome locks in.

Matching colors and consecutive numbers trigger "Resonance" — and Resonance yields Entropy.

But you can never choose the outcome directly.

All you can do is rebuild the garden itself.

Breed the ladybugs, rewrite their colors and numbers with flowers, filter their paths, and shape the flow of the swarm toward the black moon.

The better you manage the garden, the more the odds bend toward the outcome you want.

Don't wait for luck. Design the environment where luck grows.

🐞 Manage the ecosystem

Ladybugs have lifespans, and they breed by bumping into each other. Let them multiply too far and the garden becomes overcrowded — ladybugs char and burn, and the temperature rises. Little by little, the ecosystem destabilizes.

If the garden gets too hot — or too cold — the observation ends.

Watch the population, temperature, funds, lifespans, and breeding, and keep your garden alive as long as you can.

🌙 Cultivate the odds

The colors and numbers of the five ladybugs drawn into the black moon form one outcome: a "Resonance."

• Place flowers to rewrite numbers and colors

• Use filters to let only certain ladybugs through

• Connect circles to funnel the swarm exactly where you want it

By tuning the garden's structure and its ecosystem, outcomes that began as pure randomness inch closer and closer to the Resonance you're aiming for.

🌸 Engineer the flow

Ladybugs obey the laws of physics. You cannot control any of them directly.

Place circles, exits, flowers, and filters to design a garden where the swarm naturally follows the paths you intend. Then watch your finished machine run on its own, producing outcome after outcome.

🔥 Survive the collapse

Lightning. Gales. Fires. A giant spider. The garden you've grown will be struck by disaster after disaster.

• Protect a stable ecosystem

• Hold the garden in a dangerous temperature band and chase a higher score

• Or exploit the disasters themselves and turn them into bigger returns

Read the situation, repair the garden with limited funds, and keep the observation going.

🌑 Grow the Moon's Gravity

The black moon has "Gravity."

Gravity is the multiplier that amplifies how much Entropy you finally bring home from the score your reels produce.

The longer the observation runs, and the more disasters your garden endures, the stronger the Moon's Gravity becomes. Wake up while things are stable, and you collect your dream safely.

But endure the brink of collapse, and you may carry home far greater rewards.

Where will you be satisfied enough to wake up?

Or will you keep feeding the Gravity, trading away your garden's survival?

The Moon's Gravity is the risk and the reward that binds the management game to the slot game.

🌱 Bring home Entropy, expand your control

If you manage to wake from the dream, you keep the Entropy you earned. If the garden collapses, you lose every last bit of it.

Spend the Entropy you bring home to unlock new flowers and permanently upgrade the garden.

The more you play, the more tools of management you gain — and the larger, more intricate ecosystems you can build.

📖 The records hidden in the garden

Each time an observation ends, the logs left behind in the garden come to light, piece by piece.

• What does this garden exist for?

• What does it mean to make Yuria bloom in the garden?

And so — sweet dreams.
