Royal-Gardener was a team project, that was created for Global Game Jam 2023.
Royal Gardener is a 2.5D puzzle game that puts the player's strategic thinking skills to the test! In this game, the player is a gardener, tasked with uncovering gems hidden underground, filled with roots. The gameplay is similar to Minesweeper, but with a few twists. The goal is to clear the field by using the radars, an item that is designed to detect nearby roots. The game board consists of a grid of tiles, and each tile either contains a gem, a clue, or a hazard. The clues, given by the radars, indicate where the are the safe areas to dig, similar to Minesweeper.
As the players progress through the levels, the fields will become increasingly complex, and they will need to rely on their problem-solving skills to uncover the gems hidden within. With intuitive controls, beautiful 2.5D graphics, and challenging gameplay, Royal Gardener is the perfect game for fans of Minesweeper and puzzle games alike.
The team behind Royal-Gardener consisted of four people; three developers and one writer. I was one of the developers and my main role was to develop the gameplay mechanisms of the project.
The game was made with Unity 2021.3 LTS in URP. You can find more information and play the game at the Global Game Jam Page and the itch.io Page of the project.
