TWO MINUTE SURVIVAL

Stomata Master

Adjust a leaf pore through changing light, humidity, temperature and drought while balancing CO₂ entry against water loss.

PLAYER GUIDE

How to Play

  1. Survive four 30-second weather shifts. Read light, humidity, temperature and drought above the pore.
  2. Use Narrow or Widen to move aperture by 15 points; Hold checks the current position. A wider pore admits CO₂ and loses more water. Aim for the useful range shown below the diagram.
  3. Keep leaf water, carbon support and cell integrity above zero. Pause with P. Explore untimed protects integrity.
  4. Meter rates and the useful range are teaching game mechanics, not measured stomatal conductance.

Support meters, health, scores and timing are game abstractions. Real plant cells use continuous transport and regulation.
