How does your game fit the theme?
In Loop of Seasons: Magic Seed, the core mechanic revolves around a loop of seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Players must cycle through this seasonal loop to solve puzzles, using each season’s unique ability to progress. Beyond gameplay, the loop also represents the cycle of life and nature. As the player brings greenery back to barren lands, they symbolically restore the world’s natural rhythm—its seasonal loop. The game explores how small actions, repeated over time, can lead to lasting change.

Lovely artstyle, and idea with seasons affecting a seed is simple yet very well explored :D With some polishing could as well serve as cute little full title :D

I'd love to have some easier difficulty loop that teaches you what season does what, because I had to go back and forth to tutorial, to read what happens and didn't realize that I have to hold J to teleport back to spring seed. I think delivering all this information gradually during levels, not with wall of text would make it much easier to grasp. And I also had a bug and wasn't always able to plant a seed.

But overall I enjoyed it, well done <3

The 4 different powers are so clever !

Love the core mechanic! Simple yet powerful and you really have to think hard how to switch the seasons.

Neat mechanic with the season changing (:

The start was tricky until I understood all mechanics. Really like how seasons are used in the game

Really nice game! Even though I had to check the video to figure out what each mechanic did... Giving me all that power at once was too confusing x)

It was a unique concept that I would like to play more, if mechanics are introduced slowly :)

Great job on your submission! :>

I like the time motif, and that the obstacles you face change with the season too!
