The short answer
Keep an edible crop available and hold the consume input shown by your game to heal. In the reviewed demo, fainting returns Sprout to the garden with reduced health and a message that half the run coins were stolen. Check your health, coins and haul before resuming; an empty haul is a separate run-ending condition.
Before you start

- Harvest or collect an edible crop and keep one available in your inventory.
- Select the crop so Sprout is holding it.
- Hold the consume input shown by your current controls.
- Check the health bar after eating, then check that the haul still has crops.

Evidence and limits
At 16:53 the on-screen message reports fainting and theft of half the coins. Sprout is back in the garden; the health bar is partly filled and the haul counter shows 7. This one observed penalty does not establish rounding, timing, every difficulty or retail behavior. Selected source frames reviewed September 20, 2026. Recording date and exact build unknown. Kingy has not independently play-tested these steps.

The message after this faint says half the coins were stolen. Sprout returns beside the garden with only part of the health bar filled, while the haul still contains crops. The run continues.
If the haul is empty and the defeat screen appears, read the run rewards before returning to town. The crop-token guide shows a defeat that still earns town progress.
- Read the penalty message and check the current coin balance.
- Check the health bar and heal before returning to the encounter if needed.
- Check the haul’s crop count before starting another night.
| What happened | What the reviewed footage shows |
|---|---|
| Sprout fainted | Garden return, partial health and a half-coins penalty message. |
| Raccoons emptied the haul | A defeat screen and run results, followed by a return to town. |
