How does your game fit the theme?
The game is a tile placement where you try matching 'flower petals' to adjacent symbols and colors. At every 'stage', new bigger petals are created with double the size of the last ones, creating opportunity to place new petals that are adjacent to other two small ones. This process continues, doubling the petal sizes and scaling even more, until 13 tiles are placed and a beautifull flower is created.

Beautiful flower tiles!!! So relaxing to play and the music is lovely. The sfx are also a nice touch and fit really well. Very polished and smooth play through. Very impressive that this came together in such a short time. I hope you expand on this game after the jam. I very much enjoyed this!

Feel free to give my game a try, Tinker Escape. 

Cheers :)

I really love your game, it's so beautiful and so relaxing but at the same time it's a bit challenging, I love that! <3
I've only managed to make 5 flowers so far but I'm going back to try and make more just after this comment ;P

Submitted

Still stuck at 5 flowers which makes me wonder, I manage to exceed 300 points on the first level but not on the last so does the random becomes more "evil" as it goes or am I just unlucky? ^^

try to create the weirdest one!

love the game. worth a  6/5 for the art. And the gameplay is also GREAT!

Absolutely beautifull! The sounds, the colors, the animations work so well. It feels like one of those game, that don't have a specific goal, yo ucan just relax and casually enjoy the experience. Wish there was a way to expand the flower or make it different shapes, but overall well done

Very fun and relaxing game, managed to complete 6 amazing flowers!

Thanks for your game, I had a great time! It looks good, sounds good, and is a pleasure to play. 

I have a question, do purple cards get points for blue and red cards or only for other purple cards? At first, I thought it was the former option, but I guess I was wrong.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and for such cool comments. The score is very simple, petals score when there are adjacent symbols or colors. 15 points if there is a symbol match, 10 points if the color matches. We wanted to add more special cards and a market between sessions, maybe we do that soon!

Submitted

Yeah, that's what I figured, but I thought purple went with both blue and red, but half as well, and it even seemed logical to me because purple is a mix of blue and red. But more likely, I was just given points for a similar pattern and thought it was points for color combinations ahahh

Developer

That's a very cool idea! I was looking for some way of incentivizing more scores with different colors, and this sounds perfect!! Thank you very much.
About your game, I would really like to let you know about the game we are working on, it is also a tile placement inspired by Carcassonne and Dorfromantik! https://canvas-games.itch.io/canvas-infernum
I hope you like it and understand some cool and special powers we thought to add to these mechanics.

Submitted

Thanks, it was fun to play! The art is great, and you did a great job coming up with jesters and characters with quests and dialog. It adds to the involvement. It's obvious you were inspired by Dorfromantik, but I barely noticed the Carcassonne influence, personally, I would have liked a little more emphasis on the economy, but that's on a lover. Since you have squares rather than hexagons unlike Dorfromantik, it feels like there's a little less variety in the game. When you allocate squares of matching tilesets to arrange the tiles, it seems like an oversimplification to me. In the end, I did have a good time and enjoyed myself.

Lovely idea! I loved that by the end of my time playing I was more interested in making a beautiful flower than my score. very fun

Submitted(+2)

fun little game ! the effects and the flower looks great. Love the chill vibe

Submitted(+2)

Wow, this is amazing. Very simplistic in terms of gameplay but super satisfying. Very visually polished with great sound effects / audio. Good work!

This is hands down my favorite game I've encountered thus far for this game jam! Already sank an hour and will be saving this game to come back for more. :D

Impressive job! The level of detail and polish is remarkable for a game jam entry.

Submitted(+2)

The tiles are absolutely beautiful

Submitted(+2)

love absolutely stunning style! feels very well planned out and super polished in terms of music/sounds, ui/visuals and the gameplay feels really good overall! Such a great entry :D

Submitted(+2)

I could spend hours (and i did) playing that !
I feel it is well balanced until i have bad luck, and it's very fun !
Very good take on the theme, i was not expecting that kind of game until i saw yours.
It kind of feel like a solitary card game from another world. Plus, the art style is very neat !

actually lost track of time playing this. Great game

I absolutely love the art nouveau style! The whole game seems really polished with all the art, music and sound design, and the gameplay itself is really simple and effective. The way that the game is so intuitively laid out makes it really easy to pick up and start, and even learning how the points system works is easy to pick up after a couple iterations. It's the sort of game you could play for ages to relax (reminds me a little of mahjong), and getting to see your flower at the end is a really nice touch. Again, all the animations are really polished and beautiful, and the designs of the tiles are so detailed it feels like a fully published game rather than a game jam entry! Well done :)
