Line 19:
It is set in a futuristic space environment, where the player assumes the role of the commander of interstellar lifeforms called Euflorians, who live and gain their resources on asteroids. The player has to use basic units that are grown on Dyson trees and are called "seedlings", to colonize and conquer asteroids. On asteroids, Dyson trees may be planted and as the tree grows and gets stronger, it will produce more seedlings with certain attributes. There are also flowers, defensive trees, and other units later in the game. Players battle other empires and seek to discover the origin of a mysterious grey menace, to speed up the return of the mythical Growers.
''Eufloria'' has been described as a simple but charming game<ref name="resolution">{{Cite web |url=http://resolution-magazine.co.uk/content/review-eufloria/ |title=Eufloria review on Resolution |access-date=23 August 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100501075532/http://resolution-magazine.co.uk/content/review-eufloria/ |archive-date=1 May 2010}}</ref> with calming music, graphics, and gameplay.<ref name="

Graphically, ''Eufloria'' is simple, with minimalistic graphics, and a simple design. The colour of the Euflorian empire is customizable.
At the start of the game, the player has one tree, called a Dyson tree, on an asteroid. The tree has a number of branches and leaves that fall off and become seedlings, which can be used to either create trees or fight other seedlings. Each tree is unique, the growth of its branches based on a [[fractal]] [[algorithm]].<ref name="
To create trees, 10 seedlings are needed in orbit of an asteroid. These seedlings then plummet into the ground to grow grass and the trees' roots. A plant called a defense tree may also be grown that attacks invading enemy seedlings by releasing explosive fruit. Over time, the plant's health, damage, and spawn rate increases. The player can also customize their asteroids with add-ons called 'flowers'.
