Multi Another game I've been helping with 🌸

[Lunar Kreskents]

I apologize for all the shameless plugs, but excited to finally officially announce my client's upcoming game Primrows that I've been helping produce. This is a casual game that will be excellent on mobile and available on Steam as well.

How to play:
- Prune flowers so no flower repeats in any line or quadrant
- Flower faces help you strategize
- Quick Play or Journal Play modes
- Weekly challenges
- Set your season and enjoy ambient nature soundtracks



It's a bit like flower dice sudoku, with a dash of roll 'n' write board game appeal, and weekly challenges to keep things spicy.

This is a trans-owned women-led small studio that used this project to learn Unity for the first time, and ended up deciding to launch it as a full fledged product.

Really hope any cozy and casual gamers out there like it!

Nonsense, bring them on! I love seeing them

Aww thanks you guys :3

It will be free to play on iOS and Android, so you'll be able to play regardless! Actually thanks to some feedback from this thread I was able to help convince them that premium games don't really do well on mobile. They also settled on no ads, and the owner hates cash grabs, so it will be a single fee to unlock everything, with honestly a significant portion of the game being playable even without paying.

They definitely would appreciate you sharing with anyone you know who might like cozy, gardening, or logic games though They also have a TikTok and Instagram that gets regular content from the community manager. Their cat content is doing pretty well lol.

I'd still like to support if I'm able, particularly for a trans developer. I will play on mobile, but if I can grab it on Steam I absolutely will.

I have a community of people I'm a part of that includes a lot of gardeners and people who I'm sure would be interested in it. I will pass the links around as soon as I'm back at my desk!

It's almost like... Reverse Bejeweled.

Never been much for Sudoku, but the premise without math is appealing.

Cathy the owner/developer/game designer will definitely appreciate that! She really doesn't enjoy the whole business and marketing side of things in general and hates pushing things on people, so sharing with relevant groups would be a really big help to her! We've made it as cozy as possible, so anyone who enjoys gardening or even nature (the ambient soundscapes are really stellar and sounds are randomized, so it's like real nature) I think will enjoy the aesthetic.

Reverse Bejeweled, I think that's a first, I like it. Definitely very interested in how people see the game. None of us are great at marketing and this game has been particularly hard to figure out the marketing for because it started as a remake of one of her older games as a learning project, so we've had to try to find the audience for it as it became a bigger project rather than it being explicitly designed for a particular audience.

No math-ing needed! The original version of this game felt a little mathy-er, and we tried hard to simplify into something that could be played with symbols only and make an easy tutorial that anyone can understand. We're also playtesting now with people who enjoyed the game but aren't too math-y so we can balance the high scores towards the average player. Cathy herself is pretty incredible at math, and therefore seems to be about 20 times better at the game than the rest of us lol, so for anyone who maths for fun there's extra strategizing you can apply, but it's been designed to be easily played by the rest of us. I failed to find the picture of her giant tub of them, but she has something like 80-100 of these logic puzzle toys that she's an expert at solving.


Every so often I'll hear the soft clink of a puzzle getting dropped on the floor during a meeting and a new one being dug out lol.

I will do my best to spread the word where I can, most definitely! I'm no marketing expert, but I can certainly run my mouth/fingers, lol. I will spread it around just now and keep passing it as it gets closer to release, happily! I've subscribed to the newsletter, joined the Discord, added it to the Steam wishlist, even dusted off my instagram account to give a follow, lol. Got my eyes peeled

I do dig the name "PrimRows". Please tell me someone at least suggested "Seedoku" during conceptualization.

Probably not really accurate, but it was the first place my brain went when seeing make rows match nothing.

More like Mathy.

((Damn, that gif loops so well.))

Seedoku, I like it Alas it was already named in her original game from like a decade ago. Sudoku does throw people off a little since they expect to be placing items into the grid, when actually flowers grow randomly (like a dice roll) into empty spaces. It's as much if not more inspired by roll and writes (e.g. Yahtzy) than sudoku, but a lot more people seem to know what sudoku is and is what they first seem to pick out first, so we tried to simplify the roll and write part as much as possible.
