Grow a tree. Underground? Will the tunnel end?
Yes. Yes it will.

---------------------------------------------------

Spacebar to grow -- Arrow keys to switch branch and reload to replay cause I'm a newb.

Max two branches from each node and make sure to keep your tree fed with delicious delicious sandwiches.

Those sandwich graphics are amazing.

Nice job! I love the sound effects! What would have been fun is if small sub-branches randomly spawned while you were playing to fill in the screen! Nice job!

Like it a lot. Original. I can identify with the tree for some reason.

Great athmosphere! Had some troubles figuring out how to control the growth though. Really love the music :)

Pretty nice, controls are kind of hard to figure out

I like it! The controls were a bit tricky initially, but i found it compelling nonetheless!

Thanks for all the comments. Controls are now on there - I might get around to making root selection less spazzy at some point.

good idea. can be a little more reactive...

Nice mechanic. Controls are kinda hard to get used to. Good job overall.

Neat mechanic, surprisingly entertaining!
Was a bit confused about the different phases of growing a branch, maybe a simple color swap, or a different shape. (horizontal arrow vs vertical arrow etc)
Nice entry :D

Definitely a weird entry. The idea was pretty cool but it could have been executed a bit better I think. The mechanics were also a bit hard to figure out

Really like the mechanic! Simple, interesting and easy to understand. I can see playing it on my cellphone.
