Really fun game! Love the aspect of trying to grow a tree that looks cool! Nice ending 😄it was pretty long but it was fun. Like others, I would add something to hurt the tree that way we have to decide between expand or protect! You can be proud of what you made, that is wonderful game 💛

That was fun :)
Maybe you could add an acid drop that hurts the tree or a fire drop or somthing :)

The timer i think was a bit too long for my taste :)

Developer

That's an interesting idea! I might consider such a thing, as a risk to be dealt with/an avoidable mistake. And I agree, 5 minutes ended up being just a little too long. Thanks for playing and the feedback ❤️

the ending! omg! that was really cool :) it lasts a little long but i enjoyed my time with it still 

Developer

Thank you for playing! Yep I felt the same about the time, I've since lowered it to about 3 minutes (with some new time mechanics that I'm testing so we'll see how that develops). I also found out the percentage at the end can be way off so I've corrected that too, but for now what's uploaded is the "meh, close enough" version. I'll be uploading these changes and anything else after the jam is wrapped up. Thanks for the feedback ❤️

Really fun game. I think you should maybe add a diminishing factor too.

Developer

I agree, I feel there's something missing and I plan to address this too whenever I go back to developing it. Thanks for playing and your feedback ❤️

you have all chances to win. Gameplay interesting and theme to 5 stars. Many  not follow theme and making good game, but not about GROWTH :) Good luck!

Love the idea, such like tetris themed, i can say it need some mechanic that gives player satisfaction jaust like when you complete 4 row tetris tiles, overall love this game and would like to see more of mechanic implementation

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I must admit I hadn't considered the tetris similarities during the jam, but if I continue to develop it after the jam I'll look into some more reward mechanics for the player. And thank you for playing ❤️
