Clock
The User Interface of the game centers around the sunflower in the upper-right corner of the screen.
The leaves rotate around like the hands of a clock, showing the in-game time.
Experience Petals
The small white petals around the in-game clock are your experience meter. As you gain awards, the petals will turn blue in a clockwise direction. Initially, once a complete circle of blue petals is made, you will gain a level and the petals will turn back to white. On higher levels, blue beads will start appearing on the petals and must be removed in order to level. A complete circle of blue petals must be made in order to remove a bead. Once all the beads have been removed, you must make one more complete circle of blue petals to level. For example, if you have 2 beads showing, you will need to make 3 complete circles of blue petals in order to level.
Controls
Sprouting from the User Interface there will be three larger pedals. These pedals are your controls.
- The Blue petal represents the
button. It is how you enter the Menu. - The Green petal represents the
button. It is context sensitive and is used for confirmation. - The Red petal represents the Error creating thumbnail: File missingbutton. It is context sensitive and is used to cancel or move back one menu tier.
- The Yellow petal represents the
