## Description

In ancient Babylon, King Nebuchadnezzar had the beautiful Hanging Gardens
built as a gift for his wife, Amytis. The goddess, Ishtar, was pleased with
the beauty of these splendid gardens. But, in time, King Nebuchadnezzar began
concentrating on conquest and neglected the gardens. In anger, Ishtar sent a
plague of pests and earthquakes upon Babylon, sending it into ruin and
destroying the gardens. Can you rebuild the Hanging Gardens to their former
glory?

_Babylonia_ is a match-three game. You will use your mouse to swap two blooms
to create a row of three or more of the same. The object is to clear all the
tiles by making matches over them. Unpolished marble tiles must be matched
twice. Solving the puzzles will get you coins. You use these coins to buy
restored buildings and plant flowers to restore the gardens. This increases
the joy meter of the garden. After you plant flowers, you will, at times, need
to water them and use pest killer on them. If you keep the flowers healthy,
Ishtar will be pleased and will reward you with new flower types or coins. If
you neglect the flowers, Ishtar will be angered and will destroy one of your
restorations.

As the game progresses, you power up the hammer. It powers up to three stages.
Stage one can only destroy a bloom, no chains, tiles or boxes. Stage two can
destroy one layer of chain or a bloom and one layer of tile. Stage three will
destroy any bloom you click, everywhere it is found on the board, as well as
all chains and tiles on or under these blooms.

As mentioned earlier, you have obstacles. Chains are removed by making a match
with the chained bloom. Double chains must be matched twice. Boxes are removed
by making a match in which one or more of the blooms in the match touch one or
more boxes. Making a four bloom match creates a Rainbow Flower that acts as a
wild card in matches. Making a five bloom match creates the Helix that, when
clicked, clears all chains, tiles and blooms in a horizontal row. It will also
clear boxes but not what is under them.

Coins can also be used in the shop to buy a larger chest as well as spells
like bomb, fireball and chain lightning. After all the buildings are restored
in that part of the gardens and the joy meter is full, that part of the
gardens will be made into a wallpaper that you can set on Windows and you move
on to the next garden section.
