In Temporal Gardener your unconventional weapon/gardening tool is a reverse time gun. Return rotten grapes to a time when they were fresh and ripened on the vine.

A simple concept game programmed by myself in Unity with C#. Graphics include a square, made in MSPaint, stretched and coloured to suit. No sound. Was going to be compo but fell back to jam (insert grape pun).

I really like the game idea, but the progress is slow and I got stuck with a thick vine that took me forever to unwind when I was just starting out. Needs bit more of a tutorial.

Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't quite figure out what to do in the game. I guess a bit more of instructions in-game could have helped. I grew some vines, I dropped some grapes... very little seemed to happen. The growing vines were pretty hypnotic though.

Love the concept yet some indications would be nice and a restart button as well. A soothing background music would have fit pefectly. I couldn't figure out what to do at level 3. A mechanic that has a lot of potential.

Nice idea, but i kept ending up with fragments of broken vine that never grew anywhere. Couldn't really see how to play.

Nice looking but can't really understand the principle. Made it to level 3 by sheer chance...

This game certainly has potential, with its minimalist graphics, but it definitely needs a background music and some indications on how to play. Actually I was stuck on lvl 2 because the grape just moved up to the ceiling when I clicked on it ^^

Good concept. But you really need a tutorial.

Nice procedural plant, but I'm not really sure how you actually get the grapes as i seem to get them randomly

Nice idea, I like the Pratchett theme. But the gameplay seems pretty random, I don't think I really catched it

Making a game from an idea of Terry Pratchett is great to start with. Making it about Couterwise Wine is quite ambitious!
Understanding the game is quite hard. I got to level 4, did something wrong and the plant stopped and reloading on Kongregate is pain with the commercials, so after two tries I didn't try beyond that, sorry.

I took a look at your post jam version and that solved most issues. Might try that later on.

Well done!
