How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
Day Ja Fruit is a strategy puzzle game where you have to terraform the moon using action cards. Collect all of the fruit to win, but watch out for the negative effects!

EDIT AFTER SUBMISSION:

A few people have mentioned adding the tutorial here. So, the tile map is set on the moon, where radiation is high, but there is no atmosphere, the temperatures are unstable, there is no water and the soil has no quality.

You have 4 action cards that refresh at the start of a new day. Hover over the card to see which terraforming stat it improves. Some have negative affects.

Click an action card, and click anywhere on the tile map to perform it. You can ignore a card (or more) by clicking "End Day" to remove them, but they will have a negative affect, so keep an eye on what you need and what each card does.

Planted seeds will affect the terraforming over time. Actionable buffs are a quick one time use. The UI in the bottom left shows each stat and how it is currently performing.

Plants have 5 states - seed, growing, mature, decaying and dead. Decaying and dead plants will negatively contribute, so make sure you clear them if you get the chance.

Mature plants will produce fruit. Collect each of the 5 fruits to win the game!

Great visuals and audio, I could see this expanding into a really cool idea and game! Was confused and not sure what I was doing but I beat it a few times so I did something right haha

Thank you. Yeah proper tutorial was on the list but run out of time. Spent too much time trying to balance the stats but then broke it and had to rush to the end 😩😂🤦🏻‍♂️

Games look fun, reminds me of Terra Nil and it was neat watching the plants grow. The art, UI design and sounds keep it quite a soothing experience. I think I managed to fulfill one fruit but other than that not sure what is going on since the mechanic is not much explained and I am not sure what to do next.

Thank you. Yeah it felt kind of cozy busy confusing in the end 😂

Had more guidance planned in but had to rush a very basic ‘hints’ page in the end, which I complete agree was not all that helpful 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

What was that I just experienced? It was magnificent! This is one of those projects that, if developed beyond the jam, could grow into a complete, deep, and well-thought-out game with interesting mechanics and its own fanbase. A lot of things weren’t intuitive, and there was a lack of guidance. But even with the difficulties in understanding what to do — and what was even going on — I genuinely enjoyed it.

TANGo44Developer248 days ago

Thank you for your kind words! Yes, more guidance was on my list but I ran out of time after breaking something that took a while to fix 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

It looks really promising with cool art and animations but I agree with previous comments that some kind of tutorial would be nice. Any chance you could add it to the game description? :)

Interesting game but was kinda of confused.

Submitted

TANGo44Developer248 days ago

Thanks Lukas! Yeah I kind of expected that by the end. Was hoping to put a bit more time into a tutorial and adding in some more visuals like rollovers…etc to make it a bit more obvious what to do and where…but I spent WAY too much time trying to balance the growth mechanics 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

Lukas JoySubmitted248 days ago

Yeah I also got sucked into obsessing over one part way to much just for fog to not even work in the web build.

TANGo44Developer248 days ago(+1)

I feel your pain buddy. Fog was on my list for when atmosphere got to a high enough level but it joined the list of things that were planned but never finished 🤦🏻‍♂️😂
