Happy Orchard 0.2.0!


A major update to Happy Orchard has just been uploaded! We've added a lot more content to the game as well as some balance and QOL improvements.


IMPORTANT: Due to the significant changes made to the game and its progression, it is highly recommended that you start a new game if you've already started playing!

Changelog:

New Content

  • Added 2 new fruit trees as well as their associated power-ups.
  • Added 2 more stages, total number of match-3 levels up 30 -> 50
  • Added additional upgrades for each fruits including the new ones, total # of upgrades up 9 -> 25

Balance changes

  • Scoring system reworked; the combo multiplier has been significantly reduced.
    • We've been getting reports of people being able to complete levels with just a single swap, due to the huge score bonus from combos. This change was made primarily as a means to prevent that from happening.
  • Minimum scores for most match-3 levels have been lowered to accommodate the above change.
  • Stages no longer cost coins to unlock.
  • Individual levels now require a one-time coin purchase to unlock.
  • Players now start with 2 free apple trees when starting a new game.

Quality of Life

  • Trees that have fruit can now be harvested by simply clicking on them.
  • Added a description for each super fruit on the crafting window.



Known Issues:

  • The game noticeably hitches before a level's game over window appears.
  • Players can "click through"  the super fruit button in the upgrade screen when an upgrade is underneath the button.
  • Gala's speech sound is much more rapid in the browser version.
  • The browser version in general has some performance problems, most notably in the farm screen and the match game.


If you run into any bugs while playing, have any suggestions for the game's balance, or just want to give some feedback, be sure to let us know here!
