About Backyard Biome: Ecosystem Sim
Backyard Biome is a calm but deep ecosystem simulation where every planting decision changes a living food web. GROW A SYSTEM, NOT A DECORATION - Shape a 10 by 7 yard with native flowers, grasses, shrubs, trees, ponds, logs, nest boxes, and rain capture - Balance soil, water, shade, nutrients, habitat, and seasonal change - Watch insects, birds, fungi, pollinators, predators, and decomposers respond to the yard you create - Handle drought, storms, disease, invasive species, and migration without timers or premium currency - Follow readable food-web links and discover why a beautiful yard can still be ecologically fragile LEARN THROUGH CONSEQUENCES - Explore a 32-species field guide with habitat roles and relationships - Read biodiversity, stability, watershed, population, and soil indicators - Compare choices across identical seeded Daily Garden and Weekly Watershed scenarios - Earn optional Game Center achievements and compete on Daily and Weekly leaderboards - Listen to an original 20-track generative-inspired soundtrack while the seasons turn BUILT AS A COMPLETE PREMIUM GAME - One paid download with no ads, subscriptions, in-app purchases, energy, or wait timers - No login and no developer-operated server - Gardens remain on device, with optional private iCloud synchronization - Dynamic Type, VoiceOver descriptions, reduced motion, haptic controls, and symbols that do not rely only on color The simulation is scientifically grounded entertainment and is not professional horticultural, pesticide, or environmental advice.
