I can't believe you made this all from scratch! This is seriously impressive. I loved the writing, it really made the game special and the premise is just perfect for a game. Also, the art style is so unique and cool! The music added to the atmosphere a lot, too. My only complaint is that the controls when it came to interacting (like picking up the saplings annd cutting down trees) was a bit clunky and would take a moment to work, which can be terrible when trying to save every second in a chaotic gameplay loop like this.
Great work, I love seeing fully solo devs in jams and this was super impressive. I hope you keep making games! :)

Thank you so much for the kind comment! I started out with just making the art because I wasn’t sure if I was going to submit. Then when I came up with the loop I realized coding wouldn’t be to hard I just went with it. I’ve done a few of the pickup and bring to an area style game, but this one felt the best to build.
Thanks for the feedback on the controls. I couldn't figure out an easier way to make it work so it’s a little clunky. So I just made it work for the time being and I’ll probably revisit it.
