A small puzzle game about trees and tris. Your objective is to build a tree by triangles from to the top.
Made by Mitya Trifonov, WhyNot and Nickolas Barmenkov.
I've updated the WebGL build and set memory to 512 mb. Please write about errors you've got. Maybe it can be fixed.
There are instructions at the top of the screen when game starts but this is instructions here:
Green triangle - you can place triangle. Red triangle - you cannot place triagle. White triangle - you get + 2 moves. Blue triangle - you get + 4 moves. Hold RMB to restart game.
The idea is pretty cool, and the atmosphere defined by the visuals and music is very nice, but at the beginning it is a bit unclear what to do, and some initial states are irresolvable (perhaps you're actually making sure of that and this was just me before I figured out how to place tris). Also, there are some memory issues, I got an "out of memory" WebGL error.
You still have time, so if you can solve those issues you can have a solid entry.
After downloading the game I played it, I found it very easy and reached the top with 16 moves left, it was also too short, very nice style, art and graphics though.
I liked it! A nice take on the growing theme. The graphics were nice as well. The only nitpick is that it's a bit unclear what to do at first, and the placement is a bit unprecise at times. Nice work overall!
I really like the idea, but I might be too stupid to play it... is the game generated so that it's always possible to grow? Sometimes I feel I don't get given enough moves, but perhaps I'm just failing and don't realize it.
Really nice mood to this one.

Well, the audiovisual is definitey this game's strength as I really enjoyed the soundtrack and the minimalistic artstyle (the lighting was especially nice) and I do like the general atmosphere.
The mechanics are also easy to grasp and I think the can plant/ can't plant-thing is pretty clear as well as the objective. I do feel though, that some things were a bit unclear, such as how I achieved the end-goal. Was it just to build perpetually or was there an additional goal? I wasn't too clear on that.
Additionally I was a bit unclear on what exactly generated more moves, so I wouldn't have minded a bit more instructions there.
Technically also it's pretty nice. There were only some slight lag when I tried to raise a level which ended up with me using moves on nodes I couldn't see. Bu other than that it worked nicely.
All in all, besides for those nitpicks, it was a pretty nice experience. Good job :).
Interesting! Choosing to represent a tree as a series of triangle cells is a unique choice, but makes sense too. Loved the laid back, post-rock-y music -- it really adds to the feeling of continual growth. Nice.
Bit unclear about how to start but this is a super cool experimental peaceful little game! I actually quite enjoyed having to figure out a lot of it, really enjoyed your entry!
It would be nice to have some instructions, but maybe it wes ment that player should explore everything by himself. I relly like the music and graphics looks fresh to me. Really nice job with the mood to !
Nice entry. I wish I could add triangles with an edge connection instead of a common vertex because it seems weird at the moment. Sometimes I couldn't add triangle on a spot, but then I moved my cursor and get back there and it became possible. I think there is also too many white triangle below the starting point. I managed to have more than a hundred triangle available so it was not challenging anymore... I like the atmosphere of the game, it is really relaxing. Good use of the theme. Well done!
Interesting game, but I found a gamebreaking bug. If you plant directly beside a white triangle, clicking on the triangle nets you points WITHOUT consuming it and without growing anything. In other words, infinite move farming. Needless to say, getting to the end was super easy after that.
For some reasons I was able to create triangle with only one corner ( no side ) touching my tree. This make the game easier but I was still able to enjoy the majestic mood of your game. Great work. The embed forced me to scroll up and down game ( then I have to scroll again in your game to reach bottom or top )
Wow, that's a really nice game! I played it a lot of time and i really enjoyed it, this music with the awesome graphics and light gave such a nice, mysterious mood... I like the logic conception, it's really intriguing.

1. your embed on this page should be http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=62494
2. when playing on itch.io it says you need to give webGL more memory?

I would just leave it out. I liked the light effects. The triangles are hard to get the one you want selected though.

But it may need more factor makes it better.
