How does your game fit the theme?
We implemented it in a core loop of our game, helping a small sapling to grow into a big (and deadly) tree. As our carnivorous plant devours more and more people, it grows and its hunting ground scales, making the difficulcy scale as well.

Developer

  • I like the fact that the roots have a delay before they reach the prey, that makes it much more challenging and interesting
  • The style, music, and premise are fantastic
  • I didn’t see the ending because I clicked immediately when it showed the ending scene and it went immediately back to the main menu. It would be better if the ending scene had a button that directed you to the main menu, instead of clicking anywhere directing you to the main menu.
Developer

After the jam we will definitely do a thorough polishing! Thank you very much for your feedback :3

p.s. sorry about the mice... they are not to blame for anything...

Very nice artstyle, I love how creepy the tree is. I stories with evil plants.

I think the growth rate could have been sped up a bit.

Developer

thank you! we will take every feedback into consideration~

Good game, but super repetitive. Awesome style though!

Developer

We know what you mean....we had to cut a lot of features to make it on time...  Stay tuned~

I love the music and visual style. The gameplay is very satisfying.  I thought I cannot pass through the bush and  tree stump.

Loved the style of this game

Developer(+1)

thank you! we plan to make more games in this particular style <3

Submitted(+1)

The music and art style gets you in a mood, it stays in my head and i was boucing on my chair while playing

Developer

thank you! we do it too!

Submitted(+1)

Awesome concept! The animations and art style are really unique and intriguing. Maybe with a bit more mechanics once you level up it can be really great.

Developer(+1)

Thank you VERY much! We will be adding more features that's for sure~

Submitted(+1)

Really loved the art! I found the gameplay a little hard to 'get', but its very close. Maybe speed it up a bit, and add some more feedback to hits

Developer

Thank you very much for your feedback~ We will polish the game after the jam, thats for sure!

Submitted(+1)

Its a fun addicting game. I kinda accidently spam click the ending though, so I didnt see what happend at the end.

Developer

Wow! Fun is what we were aiming for <3 We had 2 special arts for Win/Lose endings, in the winning case the Tree takes it revenge, in the losing case The Demon lord gives a tree another chance~

The feeding and scaling mechanic of a growing reach felt really good. Timing and getting combos had challenge. There was a bit of disconnect between the throws and grab range. Art, sounds, and music all fit the concept well.

I can see this developing into a full game with some extra dangers, possibly the ability to eat specific items to power up, perhaps food has different abilities etc.

Great job!

Developer

Thank you very much for your feedback! Everything will be noted<3

Submitted(+1)

It has a very good feel and art and music to it
i like the development of the level here
lots of animations.. great great work and also for this amount of time.
i like to squeeze the food like that

Developer

Squeezing food is the best! thanks for your review~

Submitted(+1)

Developer
