Time the tap
Throwing is a timing action. In the official preview, around the opening seconds, a vertical coloured meter sits beside the character with a TAP TO THROW! prompt and a multiplier. The pointer moves along the meter. The video shows the cue; it does not state which slice of the meter is best, so use the cue on your own screen.
The seed then travels through the canyon. A plant grows when it lands. The description says the further the seed flies, the luckier the throw gets. It also says a result might be a common bush or, in the description's own words, a 1 in a million Secret. That sentence is flavor in the listing, not a measured drop rate for a named plant.
Distance, zones, and seeds are different levers
| Lever | What the developer says | What is not published |
|---|---|---|
| Throw timing | Tap at the right moment | The exact window or a perfect-tap bonus |
| Distance | A longer flight is luckier | A distance threshold for each rarity |
| Zones passed | Each zone the seed passes boosts luck | The full ordered list and each zone's multiplier |
| Training | Pull-ups make you stronger and help the seed go farther | A formula from Throw Power to distance |
| Better seeds | Better seeds give more luck | A shop table or luck number per seed |
Training changes how far you can reach. A better seed changes luck. Buying one does not replace the other. Garden expansion does not change the throw at all; it changes how many plants you can place.
Read one flight without over-fitting it
The preview shows named environments during flight. Tropical Beach appears around 00:08, and Autumn Woods is another label seen in that footage. A luck multiplier is on screen during the flight. Do not copy that number as the bonus for entering a zone. The recording does not separate training, the equipped seed, and earlier zones.
The landing reveal shows a plant silhouette and a 1 in number. Keep it as an example from that sequence.
A practical comparison
Throw several times before you change anything, and note the distance and zone name your game displays. Then change only one thing, such as more training or a different seed, and throw again. A single lucky plant is not evidence that the tap, the zone, or the seed guaranteed it.
No public source gives a calculator that turns distance into a plant. If a page offers exact odds, check them against the current reveal instead of treating them as official.
