My first LD. The game was made with Phaser.js, and is playable in the browser. Grow your plant as big as possible, and make sure to collect enough water!
I got 516 days, 14274 energy score. I really like the challenge in trying to balance water and energy usage--it's frustrating at first but once you get going it's pretty rewarding, and then the challenge becomes sustainability.
Nice :) Took a few turns to figure out how to grow roots (by clicking on the water) but after that it was pretty straight forward! Would be nice if a part of the plant could be marked to die off, so if you grew too quickly part of the plant could die off...and then become more sustainable. Mind, could make it too easy too.
Really loved this one. Cool idea, neat graphics, decent audio. Too bad its getting too easy pretty fast, even if you make mistakes. But thats balancing, and it takes alot of time, so im not too displeased with that.
Nice game, and nice take on the theme. What did you use to make the music? The sound effect was a bit repetitive after a while but that didn't stop me from playing
For the sound effects I used Bfxr, and for the music I used LMMS (Linux Multimedia Studio). The music was just about the last thing I added, and as you can hear, I'm not a musician. Some random key pressing and something called "Arpeggio", and boom, I had some ambient background music. :-)
Very nice ! The concept deserve to be upgraded, but the base is here :). The difficulty is nice and it can be played for hours :). Summary, a great seed has been planted :)
I normally don't have a green thumb when it comes to plant life..
.. same problem here, I got it going good.. but was too greedy, I grew so many leafes, that in the end the water respawn was just not enough to sustain my tree.
After struggeling on the first few tries I figured it out and it was fun to play. Were there any ultimate goal or just going on "forever"? Cool idèa, neat game :)
I like it a lot. It's a unique concept and works very well. I quickly exhausted my water resources though, so I suppose it also teaches you a lesson - not to expand beyond the resources return rate hehe...
The rate of natural water replenishment could not sustain my ridiculous rate of growth. I expanded to cover the map, and then perished. I would not make a good plant.

Got the tree quite big! 2104 days passed and I just stopped there.

A bit hard to start. Took my a while until I figured out how to click the water tiles.
What are stems good for?
It would be very cool if the tree grows bigger and had more branches.
You should definitly work more on it and polish it up.
