What happened to the original version of Puzzle de Harvest Moon? Slated for a fall release last year, the initial iteration promised a story mode, minigames and even sideways orientation of the DS for a larger vertical playing field. We ask because the feature-light final product seemingly betrays its additional year of development, delivering much less than expected despite the full price tag. What's the deal?
Puzzle de Harvest Moon takes the characters and settings of Natsume's long-running Harvest Moon farming franchise and reworks them into a fast-paced, time-management casual game. Players must duke it out against three opponents in a race to earn points from planting and harvesting crops. Each match encompasses all four seasons and weighs in at four to eight minutes in length. "Casual," indeed.
