Jar of Gnomes

Garden and fruit merging

Jar of Gnomes is a PC incremental garden game about growing fruit, merging it into better varieties, and turning each run’s harvest into jam. You pick the first berries by hand. Gnomlings then carry fruit to a bubbling Magic Cauldron, where matching fruit merge: redcurrants progress through four qualities, and two enchanted redcurrants make a blueberry. The chain leads up to a giant pumpkin.

You decide where the colony works, buying Gnomlings and upgrades in the Allotment Row and feeding compost to the best bushes. Berry bushes sprout on their own, and later upgrades include a Compost Catapult that feeds them while you watch. There are six Allotment Row buildings, from the Summerhouse to the Throwing Range. Gnomlings can also fling fruit into the cauldron, where some pieces merge in midair. Giants carry almost five times as much as a Gnomling.
