Controls

  • WASD or ArrowKeys to move
  • E for encyclopedia (once unlocked)
  • Click on a tile to see the actions available

Notes

Some things to remember, if you are getting stuck:

  • A warning symbol above a plant means it is not growing
  • If a plant needs another plant next to it, that plant must be growing
  • "Adjacent" or "next" to a tile refers to the four tiles sharing an edge
  • "Two tiles away" means a Manhattan distance of two or less

really fun and cozy, just wish there was a bit more to the sound design/a background track

Lovely art. Colour me confused -- how do you open the encyclopedia? I must have skipped the instructions and couldn't figure out after that. Great level design too! Cozy vibes achieved!

very nice art, but some music would be nice.

It would also be nice to see a page of the encyclopedia open, while also being able to plant

@arakade The key to open the encyclopedia is E!

@silverworks and @dullai, we agree, but unfortunately we couldn't find anyone who could make music!

A pleasant and relaxing experience, with a nice level of challenge. Well done :)

A fun little game. I love it. Very cozy. It would be even better with some calm music.
Maybe confirm the action with a key once the tile is selected instead of having to click on it once more.
Else, it's great !

Love it! would be cool to have some music (maybe different plants sing different songs?). The visuals are very cute - I know it can be hard to pull off an isometric game, but you nailed it!

very nice gardening puzzle game! I really love the the mechanics, it's easy at it's core, but makes you tweak the garden all the time. The art style is also is very appealing and adorable! Congratulations on the submission! I'd wishlist it would it be a Steam game.

I really liked the graphics and atmosphere, but it wasn't clear how to collect flowers. In the game description, I only found movement keys, a store key, and click. Clicking didn't do anything for me. I tried pressing all the keys, but it still didn't work.

@nexyisan I’m glad you liked the graphics! There should be an icon that pops up above the tile when you click on the flower which allows you to harvest them (so you’ll have to click both the tile and action icon)

The graphics look really pleasant — the characters actually reminded me a bit of Basil and Aubrey from Omori! I was wondering if they were a source of inspiration or just a coincidence.. 🤔
Also, it might just have been my device, but right-clicking caused the character to keep moving in one direction, and I had a bit of trouble stopping her. 😄
Overall, very well done & congrats!

@mia-143 haha I didn't really have omori in mind when I was making the characters so it's a coincidence ^^ I'm glad you enjoyed the overall graphics tho
The right-clicking has also been fixed! The right click just wasn't supposed to be used so it started bugging ;;

At first I thought it was a cozy game and then I realized it was in fact a hard puzzle game, couldn't make a Starlume 😭

But here is my beautiful Maravine!

Had a lot of fun, may replay to get this Starlume è.é

The whole game is really cute and the premice I think is a really fun and innovative take on farming sims ! I wish more farming / cosy games include dpuzzle logics to crop logistics since it's kind of a thing irl too. Overall love the game, the graphics, the concept, would love to play an updated version if there ever is one planned ! The only thing I thinkis missing is a bit of background music, but that's juste me c:

I tried playing the web version and I can't pick any flowers.

@stingdragon There should be an icon that pops up when you click on a flower tile! You have to click that in order to harvest them ^^

That was much better! The only thing I wish for is faster walking speed and a way to see what flowers are already planted in a spot after it has grown.
