Story
-----
A long time ago, a great disaster struck and the world was destroyed. No one knows exactly how long ago, because most surface-dwellers did not survive. The earth turned into a barren wasteland, leaving nothing but fire and ash in many places. The dwarves, their existence unknown to the world, lived in relative safety far beneath the earth, and so they survived. Now, they plan to restore the world's vegetation byplanting their trees on the surface. However, their trees and machinery are too large to bring through the narrows pathways to the surface. Lacking better projectiles, they decided to use themselves instead, which is possible since they're very tough people. This way, they would create a hole to the surface at certain weak spots, use balloons to lift the tree upwards, and drop it in a fertile spot by popping the balloons. Since their arms are too short to fling each other, however, they have decided to recruit the help of a young man with longer arms, who will fling them instead. Unfortunately, bringing the tree to the surface isn't the only problem they face. There are goblins beneath the surface who want the wood of the trees, and will come to chop it down.

Technical notes
----- Unity has packed the entire game into an exe file, so if you just click that you should be good to go. I've tested the game at 1280*768, and stuff looked fairly good, but if you run into any problems I'll be glad to hear it. Until next time!

- Version 2: Included data folder so that game starts properly
- Version 3: Addressed a collision bug where game would potentially become unwinnable. Comment below if problem persists.
