Terrarium Tycoon
Build a little world in a jar, then look after it.
Pick a jar. Layer the gravel, charcoal, moss and soil. Plant something green and see what moves in.
A hyper-real terrarium builder. Sculpt the ground in layers you can see through the side of the glass, keep the plants alive with the right light and water, and call down tiny weather.
When you've made something you're proud of, take a photo, send the whole jar to a friend, or sell it on Mossy, the in-game shop, and buy more glass.
