Harvest Square by xCarl
As a farmer, you have to plant your crops, but in order to harvest them you have to make a square of the same crops.
Controls: Mouse to drag and drop the crops into the farmlands
Plant the crops and make squares of 3x3 of the same crop. The bigger the square, more points it gives! You lose when the new form can't fit in the board.

It was a little hard for me at first but it went more and more addictive as I retried. I wish there was a way to rotate the shape tetris-style!
Nice game overall :)
fun game, it might feel a bit unfair at times as a wrong piece will completely wreck any sort of order you had going, but thats just something that happens with chances
The rotate function could be a nice thing to add.
I think being able to rotate the crops you get as Anoushcat suggest is a very good idea. I even believe you can borrow another mechanic of tetris. At the moment, it is quite difficult to plan ahead in your game. I just get random crops and I have to be lucky that I get them in the right order. To make it a little bit more predictible, I think showing the comming crops might really help. This will make me able to plan ahead and choose more strategically here I want to place my current crop. Like in tetris, i can see the next 4 comming blocks.
* pieces start arriving on a timer
* press up and down to select between them
* press left and right to rotate
* the selected piece is visible on the field as you hover your mouse over it and planted when you click the mouse
* pieces start arriving faster and faster until you can't keep up
* non-square areas (like 4x3) should also clear
Anyways, I love puzzle games and yours has some cool mechanics. Nicely done!
The graphics are cute and pleasant to look at, so well done for this nice little game !
