Puzzle de Harvest Moon is a spin-off puzzle video game in the Harvest Moon series. It was developed by Platinum-Egg Inc. and published by Natsume Inc. on November 6, 2007.[1]
Gameplay
Puzzle de Harvest Moon is a strategy game in which the object is to harvest plants from a small field shared by four players. Farm animals the player periodically receives give special abilities in a small area; for example the dog protects an area for a short period of time from other players harvesting.
Puzzle de Harvest Moon features characters from Harvest Moon: Back to Nature as playable characters, four single-player modes, and multi-player mode where up to four players can play together, with one game cartridge.
