Bestiary:

HackNeds: Standard and Squishy. These little guys are free on the farm and yield decent reward. Seed Cost: 0 Gold, Prime Harvest: Stage3

Amanunar: Oddly enough, the Amanunar are shaped eerily similar to the Amanita muscaria. On skin contact, they release a strange ooze which easily seeps through clothing and even skin. Metal armor works great. Seed Cost: 1 Gold, Prime Harvest: Stage3

Pyroarx: Hot-headed! The Pyroarx use explosives as the end of their branch like appendages to launch their seeds to the wind giving them significant dominance over some other plant-life on Earth.  Seed Cost: 2 Gold, Prime Harvest: Stage4

BindPox: Spores-a-plenty. The Bindpox family loves to be near its prey. They launches spores by expanding and compressing the eyeball shaped vents near their torso, binding anything they make contact.  Seed Cost: 4 Gold, Prime Harvest: Stage4

Diffidon: The shiest of the bunch. Diffidon really(and I mean REALLY) don't like their neighbors. If another plant is within its vicinity, it quickly scurries under ground, leaving a little note behind. If left to its own devices, the Diffidon work hard to extract the nutrient rich golden ooze from beneath the earth.  Seed Cost: 3 Gold, Prime Harvest: Stage4

Helari: Seemingly already dead. The Helari play a vital role in their alien ecosystem as detritivores. They use very little energy and decompose any dead organic matter in the soil. Upon nearing the end of their life, the soil near Helari because especially rich in nutrients, a result of the Helari's diet. As a result, other plants, such as vines, tend to settle around Helari, waiting for their demise.  Seed Cost: 1 Gold, Prime Harvest: Stage4

Oratictic: The social butterfly of all these alien species and a direct opposite of the Diffidon. Oratictic work hard beneath the soil to harvest the valuable golden ooze. They work with neighbors to create a joint-root network which is able to siphon off the golden ooze with greater efficiency. Seed Cost: 5 Gold, Prime Harvest: ChestFull

Combo System:
Those of you players who strived for bio-diversity may know. This game features a powerful combo system. It first gets primed when a user harvests three separate species of alien. Then, it fires once the next alien is harvested. From there, its a race to harvest as many aliens as possible in the time-window. Harvesting new aliens keeps the combo going longer, and those who reach a 7x Streak will be rewarded with a precious 10 bonus seconds on their game clock.

In the Future:

- In game bestiary

- Combo Advance Polish/ScreenShake

- In-game seed costs :(
