🎮 GAME INTRODUCTION

Are YOU ready to become a hero of the future?

Deep in a magical valley, where wildflowers dance in the breeze and crystal streams sparkle in the sunlight, lies a land that desperately needs YOUR help. This is Pufftown - a place where the most adorable little creatures called Pufflings are about to embark on the greatest adventure ever imagined!

But here's the thing... Pufftown isn't just any ordinary place. It's been hurt by pollution and neglect, and now it's up to YOU and your team of brave Puffling friends to transform it into the most amazing eco-city of the future!

Meet Your Puffling Heroes:

  • 🐱 Whiskers the Builder Cat - Can construct anything with purr-fect precision!
  • 🐰 Clover the Gardener Bunny - Makes plants grow with magical green paws!
  • 🐶 Sunny the Energy Puppy - Barks up brilliant ideas for solar power!
  • 🐦 Splash the Water Duck - Knows every secret about clean rivers and rain!
  • 🐻 Honey the Problem-Solver Bear - Uses math magic to figure out any puzzle!

Your Mission: Build the Ultimate Solarpunk City!

Working together as a team of Pufflings, you'll need to:

  • 🌱 Clean up pollution and bring nature back to life
  • 🏠 Build cozy eco-homes powered by wind and sunshine
  • 🌾 Grow enough food to feed every hungry Puffling
  • 💧 Create clean water systems that sparkle like diamonds
  • Design renewable energy that never runs out
  • 🤝 Work as a team because every Puffling's skills matter!

But here's where it gets REALLY exciting - you'll need to use real math skills to make everything work! From calculating how many solar panels you need, to figuring out the perfect size for your community garden, to planning the most efficient routes for your electric tram system - every decision requires clever thinking and teamwork!

The Best Part? There are no losers in Pufftown! You either all succeed together in building your dream city, or you learn from your mistakes and try again. Every challenge makes your Pufflings stronger, smarter, and more creative!
