The game's concept is pretty simple, but it's very well executed! Awesome job on the game!

This is a really cool interpretation of the prompt.  I really like how when you game over you scroll through and get to see the whole tree!  I wonder if the angles of your upcoming branches are random, or are they determined by your previous moves somehow?  

If you're going to improve on this, I'd find a nice calming piece of music, and a couple sound effects for growing the branches!  You'll want a few of them, and potentially vary the pitch or else it might get repetitive.   When I use sound effects that may get repetitive, I like to pitch shift them by a random value a little bit so even if the same effect plays multiple times in a row there's still a little variety.  

Great job!

Hey! Nice game! There were a lot of nice elements added on to this. I really appreciated the end-of-game seeing how tall your tree is. That was a really nice touch. Also appreciate the high score tracker.

The game itself is pretty simple, but well executed. The finishing touches really make it though.

Well done!

A simple idea excellently executed. I loved the simple risk vs reward of attempting to pick a path between three options, trying to balance out between going too far left, right, or hitting any of the orange. I don't particularly think I did that well though. Regardless. The only bit of advice I might give is that it really needs some visuals, music, and sounds to fully polish it out; otherwise it's an incredibly solid foundation.

This is actually pretty clever, simple yet does the job!

Submitted

Very simple idea that is hard to master!

Submitted

Strangely addictive :o I think the simplistic style works well and it is fun to play :)

I think the weird abstract trees you make in this game are beautiful and I love the way the game scrolls over the tree you've made at the end of a run.  A simple, interesting response to the theme. Love it.

Love the concept of this, interesting take on the theme here. This has the potential to be developed into a full game post-jam with some artwork, music and sound design. Very relaxing, nice work!

Submitted

Really simple game, liked the idea, maybe a little too random for my taste so sometimes is pretty difficult to really plan. But really liked the concept. Good job!

Submitted

Very captivating game, if you teamed up with an artwork creator and music producer, I think you could really make this into a fully fledged game. It is such a relaxing game. Great Work!

Submitted

Love me some L-Systems! Really cool concept that could make a very fun idle game with some more work!

Submitted

This is a really great concept that I would love to see expanded into a full game! I could see the possibility of new mechanics being introduced as you get higher, like power ups or moving enemies. Such a great start, keep with it!

Submitted

What a lovely idea! I can totally imagine it with beautiful hand-drawn graphics; it would make for a wonderful cozy game!

Seeing the entire tree at the end is very satisfying!

Submitted

I really like seeing the tree at the end, makes you realise how far you've come. I would otherwise add maybe a timer or something too keep the pressure up? But overall a nice game!

Submitted

Very cool idea. Needs a feeling of progression

Submitted

Interesting mechanical idea, seems to lack a bit of a difficulty curve? Also couldn't figure out if the possible branches were completely random or if there was some sort of background system in play. Still, I think there is potential here, you just need to build more game around it :)

Submitted

This is a really clever take on the theme. Bet it was tricky to program it looks it ha. Good effort. 

Submitted

Playing as a growing plant is such a cool idea. The fact you get to see the tree afterwards is also pretty neat

Submitted

Cool idea, maybe add some more mechanics such as a time limit to make it more challenging! Good start to a game.
