A very enjoyable game experience😀!

GAMEPLAY
The game offers a calming and relaxing experience, except when chasing away lumberjacks😅.
The concept is well-executed, and navigating through the trees is smooth and intuitive. I could quickly traverse the forest, though the objective is not super clear to me. The fun lies in making everything as green as possible and reaching old trees. More variety in planting and activities could maybe be a fun update.

GRAPHICS/ART
The terrain shader is an interesting feature😀. The graphics are visually appealing and fit the game's atmosphere. Also some nice particle effects. 

AUDIO
Calm music complements the atmosphere, and sound effects are well done.

THEME
The theme is touched upon, as players create a lush green forest.

A beautiful and enjoyable game. Looking forward to more💪!

a cute and calming game 

i love the audio and graphics

one of the most games relatable to the theme.

i also love the cover of the game

i would also love if the camera has more zoom in.

also don't forget to rate my game

Developer

Thanks! The camera is still worth more work. Add a zoom, make it convenient to rotate when growing plants.

Awesome entry ! The idea is really cool and simple. The feeling to have reforested the place at the end of game is really working. Maybe having a rule where you have to let the lumberjack haverst some of the tree in order for the humans to grow would be fun. I liked the peacfull audio and sound made by the scared lumberjack. Congratulations !

I think there should be a punishment for spamming trees all around, although everything else has been polished to good state and it had clear description on what to do, was pretty darn intuitive

Developer

Great! And then we were afraid that the game would not be clear to begin with. I agree that it was necessary to cool down or limit the number of trees planted. There are a lot of little things that are done quickly, but did not have time to do them.

I love the idea and originality so much although for some reason It was laggy and I was getting something like 20 fps

Anyway good job!

Developer

Thanks! Sorry to hear that the game was slowing down. We optimized and tested it, tested it and did not encounter such a problem.

Cool game, very original idea. Wasn’t sure how far to go with the objective but it was nice. Well done!

Developer

We really focused on the originality of the game. I'm glad to hear that the idea was a success)

This was a fabulously conceived game, very original. Though I wish there was more of an objective. The creeping grass mechanic was marvelously done and the art styles meshed well. Good job!

Developer

Working in runtime with a terrane is a new experience for me. It's good that it turned out to clearly portray what was planned.

Love the game, especially the animation for switching between trees.
