The story behind the theme and game:

The story behind the lotus flower -  A seed that may lay dormant for 1000 years, will finally awaken.  First, it must fight through the muddy water to raise its heart to the world and each night, it will recede back into the water.  One day, a new strain of lotus is introduced into the pond.  Your goal will be to overcome this new challenge and thrive.

The lotus theme was inspired by the shape of the game piece, a unique piece that resembles the seed pod of a lotus.  Beautiful artwork pairs wonderfully with satisfying piece movement for an approachable and fulfilling gameplay experience.
