This is Garminal!
The goal of the game is to maintain your garden from the infestation of weeds and allow it to thrive by spending nectar & ashes you get to earn upgrades! Harvest your plants to earn nectar or Burn them down for ashes for death is this garden's opportunity to thrive!
The commands listed from "help" are as follows:

burn <coordinates> | Burn the plant at a coordinate |
ashes | Show total ashes collected |

Game Mechanic Explanations:
- Harvest plants to earn nectar
- Burn plants to earn ashes
- Weeds will have a random chance of infesting your plants - Infested plans will not yield any nectar or ashes
- You must balance harvesting and burning while avoiding weeds infesting your garden
Developer Note:
- I took HEAVY inspiration from @wintrmut3 's game, maelstrom.exe. I've enjoyed their videos for a while and was always fascinated by the mechanics of their game and always wanted to try and replicate it to learn how to implement a terminal. That was my goal for this jam, and although a majority of my assets were practically copied from their game, I'm very happy with what I learned. Nonetheless, thank you for playing and please check out @wintrmut3 's work :) !!
