The Field Guide

Explore and document the native plants of North Carolina!

Made for the Fireside Jam 2023 - theme: Guide

Instructions

Move left to right by using WASD, arrow keys, or by moving your mouse to the edges of the screen

Click on arrows that pop up to travel between locations (beach, field, & forest)

Find plants that you can click on to begin identifying that plant. Chose the options that apply to that plant to figure out what it is, and to fill up your field guide! (Not every plant will have an option in every category)

Earn a high score to unlock all the photos on the back pages!

Disclaimer

Due to the nature of game jams, the research that went into this project was limited. I cannot guarantee the accuracy of all information in this game. Some things, such as leaf patterns, have been condensed into a few categories that translate well to 2D.
