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.

Very creative idea and great mechanic!
A very good idea with some very clever puzzles
Hi !!! Your game is really nice, your concept is so creative ! I like a lot your changing season theme, and mechanics. I needed to scratch my head several times to solve the puzzles, your walkthrough was really useful for me !
可以跳关是好文明！循环四季感觉很有意思，而且看着小人种下植物循环四季逐渐变化竟然有点感动是怎么回事，BGM也很好听。不过雪人的作用没看说明之前有点没get到，特别是遇到尖刺的时候，我居然以为是要到春天让雪人融化覆盖在尖刺上面（话说为什么蘑菇会变成雪人啊喂！）。然后偶尔会遇到按下J键没有反应的问题，我看评论区其他人也有提到。但是总的来说超棒啊！全部满分！
并不是没有反应哦，是对着墙体还有在地块边缘无法种植
Congratulations on the beautiful project! It was a pleasure to play it. I really liked the seasonal mechanic and the well-designed puzzles. There's a whole universe of possibilities here.
Thank you !Please give me your rating if you like it ，that’s really important for me QAQ
I actually already rated your game — best of luck in the jam! 😊
很棒的游戏机制，以及关卡设计！
A very clever puzzle game with an interesting concept and good levels, especially the last one, which was definitely a challenge! I love the art style and vibes. Great job!
Changing Season Just expanded the game puzzle level, very intresting mechanic
Season loop is so smart!!!! I love the background art it goes very good with the music and very calming to play. I wish the tutorial ui can be better set up because its a bit to read black of green. But genuinely most creative iv seen so far!
Cool concept and the changing of seasons works really well! Some of the levels are very clever designed and offer a good challenge. Got a bit stuck on the 4th level but luckily you added a skip button :)
The concept of the four-season cycle is refreshing, and the level design is also very creative! But the difficulty is a bit high and the rules are not very easy to understand in,lol. Looking forward to your subsequent works!
The game turned out really great! I especially loved the design. The seasonal cycle made the game feel unique and even more enjoyable. The puzzles are cleverly placed . I struggled a bit in some levels, as the difficulty increases quite quickly. But honestly, I enjoy games that start off strong like this. You've created something really impressive in such a short amount of time!
Great game! The loop of seasons is a fantastic idea! Very well structured puzzles. Good job!
Nice game! Took me a bit to absorb all the rules but I figured it out in the end.
Nice I like some platforming, tho the loop elements and plants make it pretty unique, tho on the tutorial maybe make it more action que then long texts. make it more of a tutorial stages flow.
The idea of using the looping seasons to change your plant/companion is really smart! The level design ramped up a bit too quickly in difficulty, but they were really satisfying to figure out. You gave me a bunch of "aha!" moments, which is exactly what you want. Also cute art and music. Excellent work!
I find a Great idea here!
It took me a while to get how to use the snowman on the second level and to understand that I need to still have the seed on me to enter the door, the snowman part is totally on me, but a feddback to tell the player he is missing the seed would be great!
The puzzles were interisting to solve, the different ways you can use the season passing to get your way trough the level is a clever idea.
I love the game. Puzzles are really unique and creative, though it took me a little to figure it all out. The art fits together nicely. A good entry :)
The game is very fun. I love how you took the theme and understood it as "seasons". And the puzzles were quite hard. Good Job!
