very nice!
OMG Plz gimme your Skills as an artist. The tiles look fabulous. Also the execution of the game is flawless. This could be a full release and i would not have noticed at all. Well done!
Very nice zen garden like game, really fun to play!
This is my favourite Jam game so far :') Your take on the theme is so clever! I haven't seen any other teams do anything like this so well done for your ingenuity! I really enjoy how each object has it's own little nuances and each changes the way you further lay out your garden. I also really appreciate the lack of enemies. I hope you guys will come back and add more to the game! I can absolutely see myself playing this game on my phone for some down time.
I really love gameboard game with tile positioning (like Carcassone). And the subquest to gain more points is very clever. The is polished very well
adding mouse scrolling would deffinitely be a game changer. Controlling the game totally by mouse would make it userfriendly. Nice Job man liked the idea . like others said it was relaxing :)!
Nice and relaxing, panning feature didn't seem to work for me (at least not in webGL)
Yay more gnome games! This was fantastic! I enjoyed the relaxing nature of the game and the strategic tile placement, although I would have like to see less tiles and more interactions between them personally. I would have liked to see mouse controls for panning the camera along with the keyboard. Wonderful game and I enjoyed it a lot!
Really amazing and relaxing entry. Probably only wish there was rotation of objects.
I think this is a lovely concept that has some really good roots for further development (if you want to!). I liked the risky nature of selecting bigger garden sets for greater point values - and the variety of flowers are neat. Mostly, I think this game relies on audio/visual; and for 48h its quite cute and pleasant.
I think customisable garden layouts and the abillity to rotate setpieces (especially for those L bushes) would be nice. Also pathing, statues, water features? maybe a requirement of completion is that the gardener can walk from his house to the other side unobstructed.
thanks!
Superb suggestions all round–thank you for playing!
Very creative and calm game.
I liked the descriptions on all the different objects
I would like to be able to see what an object likes/dislikes after I've placed it so that I know what to place next to it.
I had some issues with the game going outside the borders of the playable window area, so I wasn't able to fill the whole place up
Glad you had an enjoyable time, and thanks for the suggestion! I’d like to expand on this concept some more post jam and that’s definitely something I’d like to add.
Also, you can actually move the board using WASD or the arrow keys if you can’t see the whole board.
Awesome entry, the art and sound design were very calming and it was very satisfying to slot together nice combos - though it would've been nice to be able to see each piece's rules before I selected it! A pretty unique take mechanically, I really enjoyed playing.
Also, I'd be very interested to hear about the design process for all those pieces!
Cool idea, didn't jive with me probably because I'm not into these types of games but I liked the hand drawn art and atmospheric music!
Very well made. Good work.
This was quite relaxing after playing a bunch of more action oriented games. Really cool concept and well executed!
Thank you!:)
Neat Concept! I love the art.
Thank you!:)
It's really calming and cute!
Thanks!:D
