The goal is to grow a tree on the other side of the river!
It is finishable but can take time, or not?
It is not fully tested and not fully finished !
There is 3 kind of being:
1_the Trees
2_the Fungi
3_the birds
And 3 kinds of energies:
A_Tree Energie: each tree has is own reserve which increase automatically(tree need to me mature to use action and generate energie)
B_Fungi Energie: each fungi has is own reserve and need to be feed by trees to increase
C_CoEnergie: global energie depending of the number of fungi and tree connected
There is 7 actions in total:
_Grow fruit : require tree energie, and each tree can grow a limted number(2)
_Call bird: require an amount of Coenergie(selection of a fruit)
_Feed a fungi:no energie require, stop treeenergie regeneration and give energie to a fungi
_create connection: require fungi energie
_help tree: reqquire fungi energie and that the tree is connected , tree need to mature to use action( a purple circle appear when this happen and dissapear after tree is mature)
_create a fungi: require Coenergie
_send bird: require Coenergie, create a tree
We hope it is clear enough considering that there is not lots of indication during the game!
Comment on the jam:
First participation in ludum dare jam!
Obviously the game needs a lot of refining :D
Do not hesitate to comment and report bugs!
There is No Sound in the Game, we did not have time :(
Ps: This game is based on the mycorrhizae behavior;)
Edit: Thanks for the Comments So Far! They are very helpful for a future version of this game!
Idea is good. The controls are realy not responsive, maybe refining the controls, adding more elements and giving more feedback to the player would improve the game a lot.
Keep the idea, and rethink the whole concept. Maybe you should use a grid system for planting :)
It's an interesting game. I like the concept of guiding the growth of nature.
The controls and feedback definitely could use improvement. I reached the end screen, but I still don't feel like I understand exactly how everything worked. For example, I'm not sure when I'm allowed to connect a fungus to a tree. I understand that connections require FungiEnergie, but is there also a maximum of 3 connections allowed for each fungus? I suppose that's what you mean by "connection limited"? Tutorials and instructions are important!
I'm happy that you included a victory screen -- this is an example of GOOD feedback to the player!
Alright, I can't really tell what was going on, it told me to select a tree to connect, but after clicking the tree multiple times I've got no indication there is a connection. Maybe there actually was. >.<
It seems like it could be interesting after some polishing (what couldn't, though? ^^"), but so far somewhat unclear instructions with weird names, and my inability to establish apparent connection between the tree and the fungus caused me to quit. >.<
