Tapgrove

Tapgrove is an orchard incremental where the year is a chain. In spring Beehives open blossoms on the tree's boughs, in summer Water Carriers set the blossoms into fruit, in autumn Pickers pick the fruit for coins, and in winter Pruners add new boughs, which hold next spring's blossoms. Each crew works only in its own season and only on what the season before it left: blossoms that summer does not set wither, fruit that autumn does not pick falls, and a tree that winter does not prune stays full. Your tap does the job of the season you are in. Every helper needs a bed, so a crew you over-hire takes room the others need: keep the chain level, start the work songs that triple a crew, buy tools, read the almanac a year ahead and buy the guard for the late frost, the drought, the autumn gales or the deep snow it brings. A swarm, a rain cloud and a robin come as season gifts. Pick a million fruit in one autumn for the Grand Harvest, with medals for the fastest years, a daily orchard and a ledger of marks. It plays in the browser with a keyboard, mouse, touch or gamepad.
