I really like the background audio. It is calming yet alarming an impending doom coming.

I liked what you were going for and the music and theme. I think the game could do with more information about how to play.

I also like the background audio, but missed some kind of information about the gameplay. I am wondering about the difficulty too, because I just waited the whole time for my seeds :/

I have no idea what I am doing, but it's ok I'll see where the ship sails

An interesting take on the theme! I think it would have done better with more slots for trees, but it was still pretty fun to play. Good work!

Cool game, interesting mechanics but very slow...

I like the theme and the way it works, but I definitely think it should be balanced a lot better, for difficulty, it didn't take me too long to get the "ludum tree", and then it can be sold for quite a lot, after that it's very quick to get all of these trees planted and there doesn't seem to be anything else to do after that. the co2 doesn't increase any more and there's no more challenge.
I suspect you probably wanted to do more tree types, and ability to plant more trees, and have the population increase match the co2 increases for more difficulty. If that all kept up, and you could expand, it would be much better.
I just tried it without planting any trees, I got game over with a max population of 181, but the co2 level wasn't even half way full, I assume you had problems with the meter.
But I like what you were trying to do and I have no idea how to code, so I imagine getting to the point that you are was challenging enough.

Interesting idea but a game very too simple. There isn't a big challenge in the gameplay.
Maybe you could add some new factories ? It would increase the Co2 and then yes you need more trees, even if factories take the space where the trees could be.
Anyway good work to you and hope you'll improve this game because you can do a really good thing from that idea !

Keep going !! :thumbsup:

I like the idea but I don't have a clue on what I'm doing :D The background music and the art were nice. Keep improving yout idea maybe with a little tutorial and events and things like that. Great job!

The idea is promising, I would just prefer faster progression, and maybe something to do between the time you are waiting for the money. Overall, nice game :)
