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.

Submitted

It seems easy at first but it's not ! I kept replaying but my  highscore is only 17. The art style is quite ... minimalist xD.

Submitted

Very creative and fresh idea, interesting game about making small decisions where to go next.

And great idea of showing the full tree after the game over. Nice to see wacky creation, that i was growing.

Submitted

Really satisfying to build as high as possible. I found it really relaxing and could get into the zone, trying to go as fast as possible to build the tree

Submitted

I love the branching paths! Great idea. I would play this on steam if it had assets. I was like pff this will be easy and now I am like I WANT THE BIGGEST TREE how the heck did the other person get to 14 what a legend.

Submitted

A very cool idea! I loved seeing the tree at the end, as well as the unpredictability of the branches adding extra challenge. I got to 14, well done! :)

Submitted

Best game played on the gam jam (so far). 5/5 enjoyement. Despite the graphics too much minimalist and the lack of sound, i found this is a great idea and it work really well . Congatulations

Submitted

Loved the ending scroll. Simple and fun. squeezing through small gaps was very satisfying. The randomness of the branches worked surprisingly well. I would recommend finding some free relaxing music to put on top of the game.

Submitted

This is a really clever little gameplay mechanic! Nice job :) I got a high score of 16. I could totally see myself playing this in my down time if I had it on my phone and you beefed up the animation and art. great work, I hope you keep working on it!
