Enjoyed the fast gameplay loop and how I could keep trial / error. Love the aesthetic as well, but I wish there was a bit more clarity around the saplings / when spells are activated.

So much fun! You are very talented, I am impressed!

 I maybe be dumb, but the music somehow remind of  the soundtrack of Pokemon diamond and pearl

The art is incredible, and the music fits well. But it's a little bit hard for beginners to play. Maybe need more guidance.

I didn't really understand what was going on at first, I planted a few trees and didn't know why the disasters were still going. I realized how to cast spells, and was able to get to around year 8 before losing. The gameplay is solid, I think this would be way better with clearer explanations in-game and some quality of life fixes to make it easier to follow.

A very exciting game. She consumed me. I lacked some mechanics. It was a bit difficult to understand how everything works here and when the map got too big, it was difficult to find the right tree and the fire quickly ate me. But the concept itself and what has already been implemented is very exciting

The tree art is so nice! I was a bit confused how to play at first even though I read the instructions, so a tutorial level would be nice. The gameplay was pretty fun and I liked the unique take on a tower defense game. The only issue I had with the game was that when I got far enough into it that the disasters were covering pretty much the whole island, I had a hard time seeing where the trees I needed to repel that disaster were because of the overlays on the squares.

The trees  are looking beautiful. And the music is nic. The  game concept reads fantastic, I am too slow playing - it takes only 30 secs until my tree is dead.

Pretty fun game! Not too complex or too simple. I think the late game situation where you are just waiting for a few saplings to finish growing is a little boring, but otherwise it's very engaging and enjoyable.

Had a lot of fun playing this game! Great idea, graphics and music. I thought the normal difficulty was a little too hard though!
