Creative Vision / Rationale / How Did You Incorporate the Theme
We created a game about receiving a gift of nutrients from the soil and about restoring an ecosystem that gives back to the land and allows the indigenous creatures to thrive.

Such a fantastic idea for a puzzle, I was captivated by it! Finding the correct placement for plants in the later levels so that they would keep each other alive was so satisfying, as well as befitting the theme. I would love to see more levels of this! Good quality art and good choice of music, all around good job. I finished the game in one sitting but I was happy to see that it even saves your progress between sessions.
Thanks so much for the compliments and beating the whole game! :)
We might add a few more things once the jam is other actually.
What a beautifully designed game. Have you thought about maybe seeing if this game is a good fit for a physical, board game version? I loved how you combined onboarding with level design, naturally introducing players to new mechanics one by one, then challenging them to solve it by themselves. I feel like you playtested a lot to arrive at the levels!
The UI / UX and visual style is very consistent and makes me feel good playing. I'd just ask you to try different font colors because the current combination is a bit hard on the eyes. Great effort for the jam!
Ooh board game idea is neat! would have to consider how to best make it work multiplayer, maybe co-operatively where players have different plants. There are a number of mechanics we're planning to add to add some more depth for potentially a full release as well :) Thanks for the feedback, reviewed your game as well its such a cool idea!
This game was a lot of fun! As the levels got tougher and I had to really think about how I wanted to plant the seeds around each area. The visuals are also very nice to look at, the plant designs especially. Great puzzle game!
Great job on your game. If you check out mine you’ll see I am a fan of hex-based puzzle games about plants that simulate soil conditions! There are so many ideas in this game I also wanted to explore, and your art and presentation is so beautiful. Great work!
Thanks! Haha yup I commented on yours just a few hours ago too :D Great work too!
