About the game
In this spot-the-difference game, the same orchard is drawn twice, with its house, its apple trees, its cherry trees and its animals. At first, you just need to spot a missing basket or a bird that changed color. Then the "Now" picture moves to another season: a snowman in the middle of summer or a tree still in blossom just isn't right! You also discover animals that change their coats, like the mountain hare, the stoat or the ptarmigan, all white in winter. Later on, the orchard comes to life, a mole pops out of its molehill, night falls and only a lantern lights the way, then a snowstorm blows. Each picture you finish adds an illustrated page to the four-seasons calendar, and a bubble explains every find.
How to play
Compare the two pictures and tap, with your finger or the mouse, everything that has changed. When the seasons are different, look in the "Now" picture for what doesn't fit the season. To zoom, spread two fingers, tap the magnifying glass or turn the mouse wheel, then drag to move around. On the keyboard, the arrows move the target, Space or Enter taps, + and − zoom, I gives a hint and P pauses. With no mistakes you earn 3 stars; with one or two mistakes or hints, 2 stars; more than that, 1 star. Five mistakes or an empty hourglass make you lose the picture. There are 24 pictures, including 4 secret ones that open with 10 stars in their season.
