Pocket Garden

Intro

Pocket Garden is a mobile game about gardening that I created together with my friends (whom I already created Fötality with) as part of the JamIsland 2024 game jam.

The topic of the jam was Circle of Life. Our idea was to create a relaxing gardening game on your phone where you plant flowers and tend to your garden. We also wanted to add a feature where the garden would undergo different season which would give the player different things to do, eG. instead of planting flowers the player could roll around snow and build a snowman in winter. However, since game jams tend to be rather short we were only able to implement a single season: Summer.

In summer players can plant three different flowers by selecting them and tapping on the phones screen. In addition they can create rain and use a shovel to remove planted flowers.

In the end the game ended up being more of a cute little toy where you can use flowers to draw things.
