How do I unlock new worlds?

Each world opens when you complete the previous one: 25 crystal flowers in the Garden open the Desert and its 8 new crops (about half a day per world). Travel between worlds from the map; your bees keep harvesting everywhere. The Glacier is open and the Volcano is coming soon!

How do I get my game back on another device?

How is the ranking calculated?

Your score is the total coins earned since you started, Great Composts included. Pick a nickname to appear in it, and click a player to see their profile and medals.
