As Dr. B, you have the official task of cleaning the wells of Bulbville by matching 3 or more bulbs of the same colour. If you play well, you get Cookies that allow you to "cheat" by buying strange balls from the Swap Shop but by using these balls to clear a well, you get less cookies for each level cleared. What do you do?!

There is, of course, an end of level boss waiting for you down the dankest level of the 100th well but don't tell them I said that!
