I got stuck when I had to ripen the oranges using the apples. The oranges never seemed to ripen faster, even with 2 apples surrounding them, am I missing something? I really like the gameplay concept though. The idea was very easy to grasp :)

Interesting game. The puzzles are quite hard but satisfying. Good job.

huozhedexiaoc 2023-01-09 17:50

@ben-toosey thanks feedback

Only ripe apples can help other fruits ripen faster, so about this level, in the first round, you need to plant three apples, in the second round, harvest two apples on both sides, and plant two oranges on both sides of the apple

@owca thanks feedback

Maybe we should give more hints to difficulty level

xaviarrob123 2023-01-09 20:10

decent game! I did notice it didn't load in opera, but loaded fine in chrome / firefox. All in all was a decent puzzle game!

svenerik 2023-01-09 20:11

Got a bit confused at the start, but once I understood what's going on, it's rather good. I'd give some tooltips for idiots like me, but overall nice work!

redcxca 2023-01-09 20:21

Some instructions could've been nice at the beginning, but well done deisgning the levels!

luhuchiha 2023-01-09 21:57

Nice game! The puzzles are very interesting!

orion-black 2023-01-10 00:47

Interesting ruleset and cool levels, although some take too long for their intended eureka moment (specially considering the game is on the calculationey side of things). In this regard, an undo button would be a godsend. Visual feedback as to when a button can be pressed (for instance, highlighting reset when you ran out of turns or the sickle only when there's stuff to reap...) would also help in figuring out the game. As I said, I found the concept/ruleset to be compelling.

I started thinking it was a simple harvesting game, but appreciated how the puzzles were thought out. I thought the simple graphics serviced it well. It didn't show up well on my QHD monitor, I had to scroll up and down to see the entire page. But, overall, nice little puzzle game!

miraculousmelon 2023-01-10 04:34

Very clever! Not incredible visually, but I think the mechanics more than make up for it. I loved the way you developed the concept to gradually make the puzzles harder.

huozhedexiaoc 2023-01-10 06:25

@@xaviarrob123 thanks feedback to much

Next time we will study how to adapt to more types of browsers

huozhedexiaoc 2023-01-10 06:33

@orion-black thanks feedback cause we use too much time to think about what kind of game we should make, we will try to make better version after this game jam ends.

you give us some wonderful advice, thanks a lot

huozhedexiaoc 2023-01-10 06:37

@quoclon thanks feedback Our web page supports browser scaling. Maybe you can try it.

At the same time, we also uploaded executable programs, which can help some people play normally.

Thank you for telling us about adaptability question

huozhedexiaoc 2023-01-10 06:38

@miraculousmelon thanks feedback

maybe I should learn how to make good graphics to make game better. thanks a lot.

bo-dangles 2023-01-10 09:08

cool vibe and the really nice level design. Took a sec to figure out how it all worked but it was very enjoyable

soonthespoon 2023-01-10 11:37

Nice relaxed music. Interesting puzzles which made me interested to see if my approach to them works. Controls were a bit difficult with only mouse and drag & drop. Good job!

leoatopos 2023-01-10 11:57

GG. 一眼看到cocos就感觉大概率是国内团队。碰到的第二个国人团队了。欢迎互评。 I thought it was impossible to make such a lot good decent puzzle levels in gamjam. I was wrong. Respect! Had a good time playing it.

zonoxx 2023-01-10 13:39

Nice puzzles, I enjoyed the difficulty.As others have said, web version wont work for me. But apart from that nice entry!

huozhedexiaoc 2023-01-10 14:27

thank feedback @leoatopos good to see you

allan-urique 2023-01-10 14:43

The ripe apples being used to ripen other fruits was super clever! Good experience for those that like puzzle games!

veridis 2023-01-11 00:01

Interesting puzzle system! It can feel a bit finnicky to click and place things, and the art was pretty pixelated on my screen but it was neat.

const-arch 2023-01-11 05:19

That took me a while, but I really enjoyed it. The puzzles were really well crafted, and I haven't seen anything like the ripening mechanic before. Thanks for putting this together, I loved the challenge.

fancyreckless 2023-01-11 10:19

Prety cute and moody game. At first it looked similar to mine, but then I realised it's more of a puzzle game. Really love that you're acompanied by narrative of sorts. Controls are intuitive. At first I thought they're a bit uncomfortable given that you have to confirm actions and stuff, but as I realized it is a puzzle that made sense actually

zluca 2023-01-11 10:22

Cool game. At first i thought it a bit simplistic, but the ripening mechanics and how the crops interact with each other are quite deep. The puzzles are well crafted and some were quite challenging to complete. I like the ability to skip some puzzles, but an ability to select previous ones to try them again after letting your mind ponder would be cool too. Its a great entry, good job :thumbsup:

starboihooch 2023-01-11 12:51

The game was pretty unintuitive and it took me a while to understand but once I knew what I was supposed to do I really enjoyed it. The puzzles were great and I thought the difficulty level was really good. I made it to the 3x3 puzzle and I tried it 3 times but kept getting 150. I was fairly sure I'd realised how to get a higher score but I accidentally refreshed the page rather than pressing the refresh button in game and I didn't want to go through all of the old levels again. I think a couple of simple things you could have added to make the game a bit better would be allowing the player to choose to go to the next level even if they didn't get the highest possible score and also changing the controls a bit. I would have much preferred the tools to be click to select the seeds and then click to sew rather than drag the seeds as this would make it more accessible. Overall I think you nailed the theme and made a really great puzzle game. In your next jam I would suggest focusing more on giving clearer instructions to the player.

redcoff 2023-01-11 12:53

Really nice game that turns on the brain!

renneberg 2023-01-11 12:57

Love a good puzzle game. The time mechanic and the crop interaction added enough complexity to make it a really enjoyable game

adam-burt 2023-01-11 13:11

I found the interface a little hard to understand, but once I knew what I was doing I enjoyed trying to puzzle out where to plant and when! I think the text descriptions could be clearer too. But it's definitely an enjoyable overall puzzle!

likirus 2023-01-11 13:18

Really nice game. The puzzle concept is great and the first levels are really fun and rewarding when you get to the correct solution. I'm always impressed when somebody can create great puzzles during a game jam. I probably would take longer than 48 hours to solve all of them, let alone creating so many levels that are actually possible to solve. Good job.

gubidubi 2023-01-11 13:26

Very good puzzle! Hard using simple rules.

floata3 2023-01-11 17:20

exceptional puzzels and very well made

joel-davis 2023-01-11 19:55

Neat idea. The interface was the biggest obstacle for me, more player feedback to what was going on and keeping to one interaction (just drag, or just click buttons) would help. But once i understood the puzzles it was a clever little puzzle game. Nice job.

If possible, we will make more complete versions and more levels in the future

dob 2023-01-14 07:37

Very cool idea. The puzzles are complex and interesting, and the music is really neat. I liked this one.

chickensiodev 2023-01-14 09:11

neat game! made me think a little and place stuff! i really like how the ripe apple makes the other fruits grow faster! good job!

oadt 2023-01-14 09:25

You did a great job at introducing the mechanics. When the ripe mechanic got introduced I knew this will become an interesting game! The levels became pretty difficult, thats okay, but I found that the mechanics aren't 100% clear to me all the time, like e.g: * The ripe mechanic only work with apples * For melons only the time while riping counts * For Corn it is a bit hard to tell, if it really delays growing the way you think

I feel like there have to be some more visual clues explaining what exactly is going on. But therefore a very innovative idea!

phillip-scott 2023-01-14 15:39

I love this idea the puzzles worked out very well - the simple graphics were ok, sound sounded the mood well.

Puzzles were challenging but the game kept me engaged, only main point of criticism was that the undo and reset were too close and too similar.

I loved the difference between all the plants - oranges being the normal, apples being speed up, melons you need to delay and corn being that delay source. The last level really showed this system - though it is maybe a little to tight, with only one answer.

Loved this - very well done!

I like the idea. I found the art to be a little simple but worked to differentiate from different fruits & veg. I didn't finish it because I found the controls a little annoying. I wish I could click on the fruit/veg once and then click multiple times on the square to insert it. Having to drag all the time was annoying. Especially when having to re-do a level. Other than that really nice game.
