About the Game

Come to Gaozhou, Eat Lychees, Know Lychees!

Welcome to Gaozhou, Guangdong — the Lychee Capital of China! "Know Your Lychees" is a casual minigame collection that blends lychee education with relaxing gameplay. Travel through different towns, using observation, memory, and quick reactions to gradually learn over 30 lychee varieties such as Bai Tang Ying, Gui Wei, and Fei Zi Xiao, while experiencing Gaozhou's orchard scenery and local culture.

Core Gameplay

  • Eat Lychees (Match-3): Collect lychees into bamboo baskets and complete match-3 pairs, clearing the table of layered lychee piles.

  • Know Lychees (Memory Match): Memorize the appearance and names of lychees, then flip cards to match them — progressing from picture-to-picture to picture-to-name, putting your memory to the test.

  • Find Lychees (Speed Search): Find the target lychee variety among a spread of cards within the time limit. Sharp eyes and quick hands are the key to passing.

Game Features

  • Over 30 Gaozhou lychee varieties, with a detailed field guide (traits, ripening period, origin, flavor) unlocked gradually.

  • Gaozhou cultural travelogue: collect local attractions and cultural elements in the game to learn about the Lychee Capital's customs.

  • Pixel-art scenes: orchards, bamboo baskets, Guangdong-style stools, and town maps — recreating an authentic Gaozhou atmosphere.

  • Relaxed single-player experience with progressive difficulty, perfect for replaying.

  • Edutainment: naturally remember lychee varieties through play, no boring reading required.

About This Game

This is a solo-developed, culture-themed game and not an official project. We hope to share the beauty of Gaozhou lychee varieties, their origins, and the local cultural atmosphere in a light, playful way. Whether you're familiar with lychees or not, you can start from a single fruit and gradually get to know the flavor of this city.
