I really liked the graphics and nice little complexity of the game. Very straight forward to get going. If there had been fitting music to the feeling of the visual effects and the digging and spiders and happy balloon... then it would have been perfect.
Beatiful game! I've composed some music for it (you can make a post-compo version with the music). Here you can download my music https://www.dropbox.com/s/bmzo1pjxy5ie60z/Background%20music%20for%20Baum.wma just write 'Music by Caridorc' somewhere in the game or in a read-me file. I hope you will enjoy my soundtrack!
Super creepy, and strangely compelling. There should be a way to fight spiders, or they should kill you instantly. The waiting helplessly for death part sucks. Still, I enjoyed the game.
That atmosphere sure helps the game a lot. I wish it had some sound, but the quiet of the black-and-white movie screen is also really creepy. The mechanics work well, and are surprisingly engaging. That feeling when one crawls up your roots! :D
Very interesting! The atmosphere is quite something else, and it's quite difficult to manage the spiders when there are quite a lot of them. Great game!
"You are a tree. Use your roots to grab as many bones as possible without touching the spiders." *looks at the image below* *looks at the description again* Hu.
Weird, creepy, slightly funny and stylish at the same time - I like it! The silent film (well, actually silent - pity there is no music!) look is pretty well executed.
The gameplay is fun, but I think a goal or fail condition would've enhanced it - like a timer, for example.
Really cute, stylish and engaging to play. Although the visuals evoke movies from the silent era, I'd probably still like some sound, even if it was understated. Also, I felt like the difficulty curve didn't ramp up enough after a while - sure, I eventually died, but it felt more like eventual bad luck than the game exceeding my skill level (if that makes any sense). I think this would be even more fun on a touch screen since you could disable multiple spiders simultaneously (until you run out of fingers).
You really did awesome job creating a creepy atmosphere with visuals and I really like the ability to stop only 1 spider, that makes the game really fun to play, great job!
Love the graphics and gameplay! I included it in part 20 of my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/LetpuBbjABA
Cool idea, think you created a nice mood with the graphics and effects. The gameplay could use some work and needs something that makes it interesting.

The old black and white style makes the lack of sound fitting, it's a silent movie!
And there's at least one surprise.
Do you make more games?
There should be a way to fight spiders, or they should kill you instantly. The waiting helplessly for death part sucks.
Still, I enjoyed the game.
Your art and mood are so cool,
This game need a little music (:
Great fit on theme, and moody graphics.

All in all, pretty cool and well done!
Feel like there needs to be more of a pattern to the spiders so you can better strategize when to make your move, but... woah.
thumbs up!
The style and mood is real scary.
Interesting and fresh gameplay.
I could never get the balloon though.
