User Interface
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 new awards, they will turn blue as they go around clockwise and you gain a level once the circle is complete. On higher levels, little blue beads will appear on the leaves meaning you have to go around the clock that many times before you level up. Each time you fill up the circle one of the blue beads will disappear.
