  • I love the concept of replicating blocks out and managing the crazy outward expansion of life! I think the main thing I'd like to see is a bit more of an ability to strategize to make planning and managing gameplay feel less up to chance.
  • I think this is a very clever take on the game of life. I like the semi-control you have over planting seeds to try and get the branches to grow where they are easy to water. The only thing I found tricky was having to move the mouse all the way to the corner of the screen to change between planting/watering modes (maybe it could've been on a right-click, mouse wheel to cycle, or keyboard key?). Overall great idea and execution, though!

Hey :D
It's really relaxing :)
The sound are nice. A background music would have made that even better!

I loved how you started from one little block and grew into a mighty plant, it was really fun! The way it was 3D added a lot to the game, I think, since it'd be a lot less interesting to see a 2D plant growing in the same way. I appreciated the little bits of visual polish added too, like the blocks growing into existence or the way the camera zoomed out, it's the little touches like that that help make this even more fun. Great work!

The game is super addicting and the gameplay works well. I would have liked to see a little more feedback

Thanks ! I'm glad you like the game :D What kind of feedback would you suggest me to add ? I will probably continue my work on this project, so I am open to any feedback.

maybe more sounds, particles, an effect when the player gets a new seed.

Really interesting concept. Kinda reminds me of Minecraft skyblock, but with less grinding for blocks :D
