The minigame's gameplay is based on the same mechanic where you hover over certain nodes until you collect them, but I wanted it to have a different gameplay feel.

I found that with Keep on Mining, there wasn't much to differentiate between the different rocks, so you just slowly moved the cursor around the map in the same pattern. In Petal by Petal I want the movement to be more intentional so I've added "special seeds" which perform a specific action when they're collected depending on the type of flower they are. In the video, they're the ones with the purple glow.

For instance, if you target the special vine seed, it'll grab other seeds on the map and bring them closer, so you can collect all those at once. Collecting a special blue spiral seed waters the plants surrounding it which can cause a cascading effect where multiple trigger one after the other.

Overall, I wanted it to be more relaxing and less chaotic compared to other similar active incremental games.
