The whole planting and moving puzzle concept on a grid is really nice and leads to nice decision trees early on. Different plants exploding differently and having unique grow patters was also a cool element.
Graphically the game is really nice and well made, things look crips.
Sound wise everything is cute and boppy the ost has a nice calming feel to it. I just wish it had better sound balance. On a normal system level it was a bit too loud.
Few things I would like to point out as consideration rather than flaw: Life system wasn’t really clear to me, but it could be just me being dumb. Sometimes I feel an explosion chain kills me from nowhere, sometimes it does no damage at all. Step count for this boardsize feels “wrong”(?). The fact the the tiles on the right need like 3 turns to get there and back, which could cause some plants to almost explode feels a bit oversight. With 200 turns on the clock I wonder if it would have been better to have 100 turns with like 5-6 steps each.
Otherwise really cool puzzle game about harvesting! Well done!
This is a really well thought out concept for a game. Definitely a lot of strategy involved, which is great.
The only issues I had with it were that it wasn't exactly clear how things worked at first, and that 200 turns seems a bit excessive for a single game. So all it really needs is a basic (optional) tutorial, and a setting to change the number of turns per game. Other than that, this is incredible!
The mechanics of this game are really unique and the variety is really impressive with the various growth and utility cards. I really enjoyed playing it! Only problem is that the first time I played I couldn’t get to the crops because they were blocked by rocks xD
Interesting game. The graphics are cute and the harvest mechanic requires thought. Movement arrows are a little challenging to see, and of the text in the bottom left is a bit small.
Congrats on the submission! Good puzzle game with a twist on a classic genre. You should put a bit more contrast on the movement arrow vs the green tiles as it was hard to see at first.
