Trim flowers you find to collect seeds for unique planting abilities.

Find hidden gems buried around the cove (by tax-evading bastards)

Meet interesting townsfolk eager to you help you (but most of them just want to sell you stuff)

Help restore local businesses and parks.

Delight in totally non-frustrating mini games.

And become your community’s hero, all with the super ability of your little green claw.
