Use of the limitation
I made the player a pitcher of water in a dead landscape and the objective is to prevent the last tree in the world from dying. Said tree would inevitably die anyways due to mistakes made by the player, the greedy wildlife of this world, and also due to the fact that the tree's dead is inevitable.
Cookies eaten
I don't think I ate any, but I probably ate plenty of other kinds of sweets for my desserts. (Ice cream, candy, etc.)

Nice implementation of the theme, interesting concept and controls feel very nice and polished.
I really enjoyed that! Nice ninja running jug!
Interesting idea. And the graphics and animation are really awesome. Great job.
Really cute concept and art!
The tree is dead :( This was super fun, a little haunting (with the dead trees in the background) but overall a great concept!
I loved the concept and art of this game! The integration of the theme and limitation was spot on, too.
I like the little character (especially when it's hyperspeed), this is a creative idea for a game, and a great first upload for your account. Good work!
I really liked the theme of the game, having to keep the last tree alive. How sad!
Solid game loved what you put together, well thought out.
The game is very beautiful, I like that it has such details as a jug that breaks when dropped from a height, because it is fragile glass! But I could not take water from the barrel, and I could not give it to the tree (I pressed the E, Q button)
That’s odd? Did you stand right underneath the water dispenser, since you have to be right underneath it to collect water? You also need to pour within the tree to water it (you need to stand within the stump. If your doing it correctly, there should be a small particle effect). You also need to hold the buttons to do either action. I do appreciate the feedback, though. Thanks.
full mark. I really like this game. Hate the bird tho.
I know. I don’t know how many times that bird has killed me during my playtime in this game. It makes this game incredibly hard. I believe I’ve only survived up to 2 minutes average, and it’s all thanks to that evil little monster. I wish I had time to go tune the difficulty in this game, but I had submitted the game before I could do such action, so I figured I’d leave it in. Thanks anyways!
Funny enough, I thought this game jam would end on August the 31st until I had already submitted the project, which was why I submitted it so early. In fairness, that did buy me some time to learn how to upload my games to itch.io and to style the homepage. I still wish I adjusted the difficulty, though.
