Very nice – love how simple, focused, and complete it feels. Super satisfying and clicky to launch the seed, and the framing of continuously launching from the last grown tree is sweet.
Great game! One of the best ones of the jam with its gameplay and theme adherence.
Cheers! We were going in a completely different direction until noon Saturday but we pivoted hard. And the game's better for it!
Great game, potentially really addictive. The art also looks nice!
Thank you! We didn't set out to make it addictive but when the gameloop accidentally became endless it happened to us too...
I love how the roots extend sideways as it goes deeper. Really satisfying gameplay! Would definitely like to see more of this game. The art is really well done too :)
Thank you! We're actually working on it right now to improve performance and rendering, as well as adding a bit more features.
Very cute, small, and polished game. I enjoyed playing to get a new highscore. I'd say I was missing a soundtrack, but honestly don't think it needs one. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Our highscore is 2070 now, curious how far you'd got. We're still looking into putting a track under it, but not before the jam ratings are done :)
(Pro tip: playing this on your phone upside down with two fingers improves your chances. We didn't design it that way, just discovered it by accident).
Great game! The most fun I've had playing the jam games so far. The controls were awkward on a laptop tracker pad, but I still played for a lot longer than I expected to since I was hooked! Some music would round out the experience really well.
Thank you! Yup its a bit awkward but we did manage to get pretty good at it after a while. Still the phone has by far the best input.
Really like the loop-feeling of the gameplay, the slingshot feels great. With a bit more variety it would make a great mobile game!
Thanks! The variety would hopefully come with actual horizontal progression, so the further you'd come, you'd encounter different biomes like desert or ice. And also more hazard types :)
Great pixel art game. Saw this yesterday on the twitch stream and immediately liked it. The game play loop has a great replay value and vibe. Great work. kudos to the team.
Thanks I'll pass it on to my friend :). The low barrier to entry and endless replay was exactly our goal!
Good pixel art and fun game. I really love your creativity to let seeds grow underground!
Thanks! Yeah the root growing is not the most unique but it fit really well with our desired gameplay feel.
This is a great entry! Really fun to play, could totally be a fun mobile game
Thanks! Yeah that was our goal, perfect gamejam fit to just pick up and play. Also helped us reduce the scope and complexity :)
so simple yet so fun! you really nailed the "one more try" gimmick, I wasn't able to stop haha
I didn't quite catch that I had to bend the tree at first (and the tree sound is louuud) so rip my ears.
The gameplay is super satisfying, you did an awesome job!!
Thanks! Yeah the sounds are a bit unbalanced, we'll work on it!
