The player has the ability to water and fertilize their tree. If the tree is not watered occasionally, it will dry up and die! Fertilizing offers the ability to speed up growth at the cost of a faster drying rate. Watering and fertilizing each are completed by unique minigames utilizing the unique hardware features (crank and accelerometer) of the Playdate.
