Fun and polished.  I liked that the story gave meaning to growing and harvesting the plants.

Ha! I tricked y'all into playing an educational game!
But, in all seriousness, I'm glad you like this idea, it will definitely be expanded upon. I just really wanted to share my enthusiasm for this niche of biology as a biology nerd.

Nice concept, I definitely enjoyed it more when I realized I could rotate things 馃槀

Yeah, I definitely should make a proper tutorial instead of a wall of text, but it was made in the last hours of the jam XD

Love the theme, aesthetic and mechanics.

Multiple levels of thinking needed.

A bit more polish (sound) would help but damn this is wellmade !

Developer

Thanks, I worked really hard on the visuals. Balancing color scheme was hell. I'm glad you liked this take on the puzzle - i was worried that a simple inventory puzzle would be boring.

Sound design coming after the jam :)

Good job! I like that there's multiple levels to the spatial puzzle: fitting the pots together, leaving space for crop storage, and fitting plants within the pots. It's really interesting! I think a few sound effects would really go a long way though!

Developer

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it :) Sound design isn't my jam, so i put it off so much I finally forgot about it entirely. I hope I managed to strike the balance between frustrating and enjoyable complexity with the puzzle.
