I would have liked the direction of the watering to be based on the mouse position instead of the character's last directional movement. Otherwise, it's a nice and cosy adaptation of the theme. Well done! :)
Yes, he does! But the shrinkage is a bit too fast. I wish I had had more time to adjust it... Not that it takes a lot of time to do it, but you know the feeling: so much to do and so little time ! That's what those jams are about :)
Yes I regret a little bit to have put this mechanic in the game. Or at least putting it so "aggressive". I think a good technique is to do a few "for nothing" moves, to accumulate food on the board, and then it becomes easier to do "combos". But it's actually more of a speed game than a thinking game, and that wasn't the original intent.
Some gears (the one in the third puzzle, and one in the fifth puzzle) have to rotate in one particuliar direction. There is a small arrow above the upper right corner of these gears to indicate that, but it's not the clearer indication there is.
I will definitely improve this if I work on an extended version of the game.
It is indeed a little more a puzzle than an adventure :)
I wanted to add more adventure mechanics at the beginning, but the gear mechanics itself took me much more time than expected! I thought Unity's integrated physics system could handle the gears without any problems. Turns out I was wrong and had to create the gear mechanics on my own, which was a lot of fun to do, but took me 9 days instead of the 2 I had planned... I won't lie, it way a little stressy :D
