Florum Calathus

May the flowers in your basket be overflowing and ever-growing.

Florum Calathus (or Flower Basket) is a falling-object puzzle game with the twist of looping back through each the stages of growth.

Fill your basket with colorful flora and try not to let any flowers fall out. Flowers of the same kind merge into larger ones when they touch. When two of the largest flowers (sunflowers) merge , they are looped back to being seeds, allowing you to keep filling your basket to your hearts content. See how many times you can grow and cycle your flowers!
