How To Play
WASD - Move
Mouse - Send your followers in a given direction (or choose where to drop objects)

Known bugs:
- Moving your mouse close to the player character sometimes teleports the followers back to the tree at the start. Wait a little and they will come back
- There is a wee area where you can escape the level boundaries. Please mind the gap.

A new version with fixes will be published after the voting period has ended

Nice vibe overall, the game has potential to be further developed and polished.

Cute little game. I finished it! I think there's a lot of game design potential in the followers (Kena Bridge of Spirits). The visuals could use some love, as well as the character controller.

The music was great. I felt calm and joy with the overall vibe of the game. I didn't get to see how to finish the game though. After getting the 8th flower I didn't know what to do. Other than that I totally enjoyed the game. Great work :D

Hey, thanks for checking out our game and your kind words :)

To complete the game you need to follow all 4 corrupted roots and cleanse the pools at their ends, you definitely need all 8 followers to achieve that :)

Oh that makes sense. I think I cured 2 ponds and didn't have a clue that was an objective. thank

Really cool game. The only things that bothered me was the bug that the companions disappeared sometimes and the background being grey. The gameplay was really good and kept me engaged. Loved the system that you need to use your companions for everything. The sounds were also really on point. Great job with this, very fun to play!

Hey, thanks for checking out our game and for your feedback! We’re bummed about this bug as well! It only appears on an HTML build and not in the editor so we only saw it after the deadline :D I will release the fixed version once the voting period has finished

Lovely little experience, felt like the background being grey made it feel a little unfinished but other than that. It's quite solid!

Fun little game. I really liked the music and felt like it suited the game well. Some interactions or events were missing sfx, such as the enemy stumps dying, and adding sounds for this would help improve the player feedback. Good job!

Hey, thanks for checking out our game :) Scott is stoked about all the good feedback on the sound and music! (It is on me that we are missing some pieces :D )
