Definitely a cool concept!
I agree with the other comments that it very quickly got repetitive. I would love to see more interesting aspects to the gameplay to keep the player interested. :)
It also sort of felt like the opposite of the theme "Decay". It felt more like "Growth".
Overall, it's a cute experience, and the visuals are nice and charming. Nice work!

Cool concept. Seems a little one dimensional maybe some other features can be added. But overall it's a nice short mini game.
Surprisingly, this turned out to be the best approach. I experimented with different emotional states for the tree and tried linking growth to time, but those methods didn't work as well. At one point, you could even pet the tree, lol.
Wonderful job with the mood: the music choice and passes clouds create a calm vibe with some hints of somberness that match the deteriorating lifespan of the tree. I wish you had a chance to get around to the other features you hoped for, but I commend the simply core gameplay loop and variety of tree artwork. Good work :)
Thank you. I'll update the game with the power ups after the game jam is over to see how it feels and have power up cards scripts ready for my next game jam.
Simple game but I don't really see the theme and the loop is repetitive very fast.
Solid critque! I just ran out of time. As you got older, the ui was supposed to crack and the ground was supposed to wither. Power ups upon fruit pick up where you get to choose effects such as rain ontop of the increased life span.
