This is a really cool game! I really like the art and the music, the SFX is also nice. I think they add well to the game feel. I did find it hard to control the tree roots at first cause sometimes when the gnome is super close to the tree and I click the gnome the tree branch doesn't exactly go there. Also maybe making the gnome hitbox just a bit bigger might be nice (but maybe it's just a skill issue from my side😅)
But I think if you worked on this more this could def turn out to be a great roguelike with upgrades and all in the future.
Overall it's a great game jam entry, good job :D
