Latchgarden
A handmade tactical cabinet where visible enemy intent, three-stage crown duels, and one perfect cross-snap turn a tiny garden into a mastery arena.
Latchgarden is a tactile clockwork action-puzzle presented as a handmade tabletop diorama. Arcade Bloom remains the five-garden ranked run. Garden Trail now behaves as one continuous Journey: completed plots bank locally and the platform result deck is requested only when the Journey ends by Game Over after at least one banked plot, or after the complete 20-plot journal. Selecting a later unlocked plot is checkpoint practice and remains unranked. Daily Patch remains a single terminal UTC run. Practice Bench and Crown Trials remain unranked.
Choose Arcade Bloom, Garden Trail, Daily Patch, Practice Bench, or Crown Trials. Move with arrows/WASD/D-pad/left stick; wind with Space/Z/A; rotate with Q/E/X/B. In Garden Trail, start at Plot 1 for a ranked Journey. Clearing an intermediate plot banks it and continues without opening ArcadeReboot's result deck. A Game Over after one or more banked plots submits the Journey total; completing Plot 20 submits the complete Journey. Starting from a later unlocked plot or using Retry is unranked. Daily Patch submits only when its single garden completes. Practice Bench and Crown Trials never submit.
