Your life is nice, you harvest space tomatoes all day and cut back plants to make sure new plants can sprout and flourish.

HOWEVER....

The devilish space flies are on the case again, and would just LOVE to steal your space tomatoes that you worked so hard to nourish and grow. So you better use your trusty fly swatter to get rid of them.

In summary, you have to:

1. Harvest space tomatoes (click on them)
2. Cut back old plants to let new tomatoes grow (click on the plant roots)
3. Swat away any flies when they enter the red planet's orbit (click on them)
4. Make sure you keep the whole planet in view (mouse wheel / touchpad scroll)

So yeah, scrolling and clicking, scrolling and clicking. Good luck, commander! Erm.. gardener. Space gardener? Good luck, in any case!
