How does your game fit the theme?
In Loop of Seasons: Magic Seed, the core mechanic revolves around a loop of seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Players must cycle through this seasonal loop to solve puzzles, using each season’s unique ability to progress. Beyond gameplay, the loop also represents the cycle of life and nature. As the player brings greenery back to barren lands, they symbolically restore the world’s natural rhythm—its seasonal loop. The game explores how small actions, repeated over time, can lead to lasting change.

This is a pretty orignal mechanic and does get ur brain scratching in some levels! Love this idea
This is a good looking game! The season mechanic is really well implemented and the levels are well designed too! Great job :D
cool concept! really like how the seed changes with seasons and its a creative implementation!

very good artsyle and creative mechanics
Lovely artstyle, and idea with seasons affecting a seed is simple yet very well explored :D With some polishing could as well serve as cute little full title :D
I'd love to have some easier difficulty loop that teaches you what season does what, because I had to go back and forth to tutorial, to read what happens and didn't realize that I have to hold J to teleport back to spring seed. I think delivering all this information gradually during levels, not with wall of text would make it much easier to grasp. And I also had a bug and wasn't always able to plant a seed.
But overall I enjoyed it, well done <3
Nice puzzle idea with the seasons loop
Very fun and creative puzzles! Once you get the rules, you really see how much potential there is to create unique puzzle levels!
The 4 different powers are so clever !
Love the core mechanic! Simple yet powerful and you really have to think hard how to switch the seasons.
The season change mechanic is so unique! I loved it
非常用心的创意！四季能力切换互相结合的很自然！学习了！

Neat mechanic with the season changing (:
The start was tricky until I understood all mechanics. Really like how seasons are used in the game
Really nice game! Even though I had to check the video to figure out what each mechanic did... Giving me all that power at once was too confusing x)
It was a unique concept that I would like to play more, if mechanics are introduced slowly :)
Great job on your submission! :>
Very cool idea with using seasons.
it took me a while to figure out how the game worked, but the idea is fun! Creative mechanics and a challenging game.
I like the time motif, and that the obstacles you face change with the season too!
Nice game with a nice message, too!
