Great work. A very interesting and unique concept. I really got a kick out of your description text and the "depressingly unwinnable" emphasis, that was great flair. 

Dig the cover art, very metal. 

The art....beautiful! Also fun game and I didn't win :( but still fun :)

A very unique take on the theme! This being your first game really shows future potential. 

Very good work on the intro/tutorial, really helps a lot, will try to do that for the next game jam since it really brings you up to speed.

I enjoyed it, well done!

Good job! I enjoyed the music and the spinning mechanic. I also liked how the game visually showed the health of the spinning tree objects. Overall I had a lot of fun playing it and I felt like it connected with the theme "joined together."

It's amazing that you put together an intro in such a short period. Great job! I like the distinct artstyle of this game.

Very nice 

I like how several elements are all Joined Together, and the short cutscene at beginning was a nice touch too, especially since this was made in just 48 hrs! Though I would recommend making the player itself vulnerable too since the rotations of the shrubs do not really matter when you can just walk through the fireballs.
