Ranked from 30 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.
How does your game fit the theme?
During the "calm," plant trees and grow your grove before the storm. During the "storm," watch those trees fend off lumberjacks before a literal rain-storm passes, striking your trees with lightening. Each round is its own "calm" before its own "storm"
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes! We made all the assets, models, shaders, code, music, animations ourselves (the two of us). The only exception are a few sound effects (the trees falling for example).

Hee-ho. Very cute game. Interesting to play. Great job
Great art! really relaxing playing it
Good visuals & music
I really like the idea of growing a big forest that basically turns into a fortress, a shame each level removes previously planted trees
Also if you fullscreen the game all text disappears, if I remember correctly that's a TextMeshPro issue we had on previous jam as well, typical Unity :(
Despite that I kept playing lol
Really appreciate the feedback, I'll definitely implement bigger forests after the jam! I didn't even know that was a TextMeshPro issue so you've helped me get one step closer, thank you!!!
Really nice job, the art and audio was amazing; A couple suggestions would be to add a variety of attackers, since with just the lumberjacks it gets a bit stale(Maybe they could bring new equipment), and also making it so hovering over a tree highlights it and shows it’s range, because I felt it was a little hard to know what tree I was selecting, and (I don’t think) theres I way to see the trees range after you place it. Otherwise, it was very fun, and the vibe is immaculate
Woah I love the vibes in this!! <3
Incredibly good for just a week. Made for a very fun little experience and blows my mind to think of what you guys could do with more time. Good job.
Very polished game, simple and easy tutorial.
Well done! :D
Really relaxing vibe, love the camera movements it's an added touch that makes it feel more cinematic.
This game is so well-designed.
SUPER late reply but thank you!
I'm hooked on this game
I keep coming back to it haha. What a relaxing game to play. The UI is a bit fiddly overall great game
Omg what a compliment, glad to hear it!!
Love it!
I could listen to the music with those insects in the background and fall asleep! It's so calming which fits the theme spot on. The game is very polished, just wondering why after every region theirs a disappearance of my lovely trees. Hope to see this one gets featured. Phenomenal work!
This is really good! I will admit that I spent an unnecessary amount of time playing this, and enjoyed it quite a bit despite running into a few bugs. My only point of contention with it was that the storm phase of each round could randomly kill your trees even if they started at full health, which felt like an unreasonable punishment for surviving the round, but it didn't happen very often, so I'm not too disappointed with that. Great work, and good job creating such a unique tower defense game!
Game is so beautiful, audio is perfect, the storm effect is great. I really enjoyed it.
10/10 on graphics, also love the idea of using trees (Our team was definitely looking forward to the trees proposal and had to change last minute to the theme)
The pacing on the rain is a bit long, although it does look very very nice.
Nice and cozy
Nice and chill game. Love the atmoshpere!
Thank you!
Greate and Simple Game i like the idea the graphics are also amazing, but the UI broke for me in the 2 round
Thanks for playing! Yeah I have NO idea where that bug is coming from but good to know its consistent
Simple but beautiful looking game! In fact, best graphics I've seen so far today. It was 5/5 for graphics instantly to me. I also love the cozy vibes and the art style really helped! If you want some feedback, here's my thoughts from trying it! :)
Game design feedback:
Technical feedback:
Loved:
Edit: Unlocked the Maple Tree. I also wanted to say I like that the camera auto rotates to show the surroundings. Good job~
This is awesome feedback, thanks for playing and taking the time to comment! I'll probably take the time to implement a lot of this once the jam is over <3
Hey! Just wanted to say congratulations on getting top 20 and even top in audio! Your game is amazing and I recognized it instantly when I saw it, I'm so glad I got to have tried it out :)
