Season Swap is a match-3 game with a twist: the way you move changes depending on what season it is.

Summer: Swap tiles vertically and horizontally, adjacent tiles only.

Fall: Swap any two tiles that are in the same row (horizontally)

Winter: Swap tiles diagonally, adjacent tiles only.

Spring: Swap any two tiles that are in the same column.

Watch the background and refer to the tutorial animation in the lower right corner to remind yourself what season it is.

Bonus moves are provided if you reach the indicated score (the number below your score).

This is great, folks! The music is soothing and the gameplay switches things up from a normal match-three so it's a fun variation.

A couple of things I noticed:

the background appears to be getting cut off with the aspect ratio that the browser shows the game at (I'm not seeing the trees on the left-hand side) which makes it a little difficult to tell the difference between spring and summer
the high score doesn't appear in the "start" menu

These are just small things, though. Amazing work for a 3-day game jam!
