Girl's Garden is a SG-1000 action game released in 1985.
Gameplay[]
The player plays as Papri, a young girl in love with a boy, Minto, she lives with in a little house on the prarie.
Papri has to collect a certain number of flowers around her maze like prarie garden and then deliver them to her fickle love interest before he meets another girl, as indicated by the timer at the top of the screen.
Along the way she'll be chased by bears and have to avoid falling into the lake.
Papri can collect jars of honey which can be used to distract the bears during the normal levels. Bee's will sometimes drop additional flowers, honey jars and 'Love' which acts as the live system for Papri to collect.
When attacked by a bear, falling into a lake or Minto meeting another girl, Papri will lose a love heart.
Every few rounds, the game will shift into a bonus stage known as 'Challenging Stage' in which Papri will have to jump over a stampede of bears. They can run in singles, doubles, triples or even four bears at once. The player recieves a score based on how well they do on this stage.
