This is a cool idea but it played out a little too slow for me - I felt like I was waiting a lot of the time instead of doing things. Maybe it'd be good to be able to grow from both ancients at once? That might already be possible but I didn't read all the instructions...

A very original concept but the game makes it very difficult to progress. I would love to play a version with more balanced darkness/some way to prevent it.

This has a ton of potential, and I'd love to see what it could be with a bit more polish!

I love the gameplay, it is super hard though haha! But with a little more balancing, and options it could be great, the music is very good too! great job!

Developer

Thanks for playing kiwily! Agreed it is way to hard haha!

Very creative! The story reminded me of the Mistborn book series a little! I really love games that include trees as a central element so you get extra points!

Developer

In hindsight yea the story actually is quite like Mistborn. That must be where I got the idea xD Thanks for playing!

I like this game! Great gameplay! Good job!

Please check my game as well ;)

P.S.

I agree that the text is very long also I think that the tutorial can be less as well. But an overall good idea! Again good job!

Developer

Thanks for playing ladroid!

The growth and linking of the threes are cool mechanics, I just think the game needed a better presentention. The story text is very long and unskipapple, and so is the tutorial, there's just information overload. You should try to either explain through gameplay or easing in the info as the game progresses

Hi Diogo. Thanks for playing and providing feedback. You're absolutely spot on! I'll be sure to address all those things in a future release.  :)
