Puzzle de Harvest Moon NDS

Puzzle de Harvest Moon is another representative of the very popular and, of course, published by Natsume, a series of products. These are more or less complex games for younger users, thanks to which we have the opportunity to join a virtual life in the countryside. Unlike most of the Harvest Moon games, which can be classified as role-playing, this product is a combination of a logical game and a dynamic arcade. Puzzle de Harrvest Moon was released only on Nintendo DS console. The platform has also received several other games from this series, including Harvest Moon DS and Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon.

In this game we deal with tilling the land and harvesting crops. However, unlike many other games from the Harvest Moon series, in which all moves could be carefully planned, this time we are racing against time. The player-controlled character competes with three other farmers, trying to harvest as much crop as possible within the time limit set by the game.

Proper fun is mainly based on observing the icons appearing on the screen. They denote four different types of interaction - water, seeds, fertilizer and basket. The whole game is played on one common board, on which all four players' fields are located. Our task is to dispose of the icons appearing on the screen as soon as possible. If it is an unnecessary type of interaction at a given moment, the player has to use it in some way. This means that he can be forced to water or sow his opponent's field. In addition, it is possible to collect crops from other players' fields, but this is less well scored. At the same time, remember the correct combination of activities necessary to prepare your own field, so as not to waste the correct interaction icons.

The game takes place in an accelerated time, as a result of which a single start lasts all year round (four seasons). At the end of the game (winter), a summary is displayed to determine the winner. An additional difficulty are also power-ups that appear during the game. These could be, for example, various animals. Their influence on the course of the game is varied. Instead of computer opponents, other players (up to four people) can of course take part in the competition. Puzzle de Harvest Moon visually presents the typical level of execution of this series. The game is played in a two-dimensional environment.
