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.

I really enjoyed the art and general vibe of the game.  I'm super interested in the lore of the world you've created.  Very fun!  Great work!

Developer

Cool game with crazy, scary Groot! It would be great if you add a selection for people in the future, because I didn't immediately understand that people can also be devoured

Developer

Thank you for playing our game! Loved yours <3 If you mean the circles under the preys, it was supposed to be a tutor level feature :D

I must feeed! The art and music really made me want to keep playing. Very fun!

Developer

Thank you! <3 eat the rich, feed the trees!

Fun game! I wish that enemies had a bit more of variety 

Developer

We'll work on it <3

Submitted(+1)

I like the premise of the game and the art style + music creates a unique atmosphere, feels really polished! I wish different preys gave different rewards though to give a bit more sense of risk/reward.

Good job!

Developer

thaank you! <3 we wanted to implement of mechanic sinner/believer, so some preys would gave more points, while some less :D

Submitted(+1)

the core mechanics is nice, I liked the fact you get more roots as you progress but I think it needs a bit more variation as you grow ! Also I didn’t see the end screen cause I was clicking when it appeared :’(

Developer

we will fix it in the future! <3 don't worry, the tree is striving!

Nice take on the theme. I vibe with any game that lets me consume the landed gentry! Art style was 10/10 too

Nooooo! Spoilers! D:

The art is gorgeous and I really liked the narrative framing.

The overall gameplay was intuitive and fun but I never understood what the two bars at the bottom meant.

Developer

Thank you fro playing our game! <3 The first bar is for hunger. The second one indicates how much is needed to reach the next level :D

Really well done! Super addictive gameplay from just a single interaction. The progression feels nice (though it seemed like when I would grow wasn't always tied to the green bar like I thought it would be). The art is beautiful. The SFX felt a little bit too repetitive to my ears. But overall this is a fantastic entry. Nice work!

Developer(+1)

thank you <3 we will work on SFX!

Submitted(+1)

Great game! Hitting the timings and predicting the speed turned out to be quite addictive. Awesome art.

Our game also ended up with a similar theme of consiming and growing the main creature. Even the style is similar.

Developer(+1)

Thank you <3 we evil creatures must stick together

Submitted(+1)

pretty unique idea, nice game!

Submitted(+1)

Love the concept and art style. Awesome Job!!!

The gameplay is really satisfying, I would love to see some abilities the more you upgrade!

Developer

Thank you <3 Stay tuned!
