A'lright, this definitely is an original experience, starting from "remember your Twich login" and ending with the very game. The idea is amazing, reminds me of reddit's "The Button".

You succeed to create an online game with pleasing graphics and made it interesting to play both alone and in company. And all of that in 72 hours. Quite an achievement! 10/10, will play again!

Won't trolls just cut all the trees down and end the experience early?

This is a very cool thing. Awesome concept and it works really well. I've seen a few twitch-enabled games this LD but nothing like this.

ok this game should stay for one year live!

Abdurrahman Khallouf26 Apr 2020, 12:11

ok dude seriously this game is really cool!
I hope you enhance on the idea maybe.

also rate some people to get more ratings! this needs more players

Thanks for the kind words @abdurrahman-khallouf :) We'll do our best to take care of the ship!

aviktorovauthor26 Apr 2020, 17:58

@cheesepencil we have a few trolls that constantly cutting down trees but there aren't many. As long as we have people who constantly plant and irrigate trees we'll be fine ;)

aviktorovauthor26 Apr 2020, 18:03

@yngvarr thanks! This jam felt like the first LD we took part seven years ago. We made our first game and always tried to bring unique and innovative since then :)

@aviktorov may I ask how do you pronounce ʞɐdʇomʞɐ

CruelMotivator27 Apr 2020, 04:19

@clevertop [kɐrˈtoʂkə], car-TOSH-cah with a hard r

aviktorovauthor27 Apr 2020, 05:00

@clevertop it's an upside-down version of the Russian word «картошка» which translates to «potato» :)

aviktorovauthor27 Apr 2020, 05:01

Thanks, @meme-310! I saw you on the ship, nice job with the trees :)

Lovely concept, it's really unique and relaxing. Showing the profile picture of who typed the command on the bots is a really nice touch too. Well done!

mango-malarkey2 May 2020, 15:34

Really cool idea! How does the game end?

kamilko2 May 2020, 17:42

This is "zenxperience" to watch this stream. Great idea and really cool implementation. Graphics and sound is mesmerising.

Mono2 May 2020, 18:26

Really cool! The stream doesn't seem to work for me anymore, did the game end?

Abdurrahman Khallouf3 May 2020, 01:24

the game is offline now :( what happened

JUSTCAMH3 May 2020, 06:31

Hey, if you turn it back on, can you ping me? I'd love to give it a try, sounds like a unique experience! You'll probably need to turn it on again to get the last fraction of a vote needed to reach 20.

Alexander Wayne3 May 2020, 08:38

Hi, the game is offline for me as well...

Ceuteum3 May 2020, 09:07

Hi, can you ping me as well? Would like to try it. So far seems really impressive from some Twitch clips I've seen!

CruelMotivator3 May 2020, 10:22

@mono @abdurrahman-khallouf @justcamh @alexander-wayne @ceuteum hey guys, it's back up now. We've run into a major hardware failure, sorry about that.

spidamoo5 May 2020, 09:08

That is taking Twitch-API games to a new level!

JUSTCAMH6 May 2020, 02:24

Cool little creation, I was surprised to find multiple people online, and your audience is well deserved, the game is really neat! I like that you can buffer heaps of commands then just keep the game in the background. I also really like the music, nice background ambience! Overall the game was very relaxing, great for multi tasking. Congrats! :heart:

HEY BOT IS BROKEN NOTHING IS WORKING GUYS PLEASE DO SMTH WITH IT !HELP !HELP !WATER
Чуваки, ничего не работает, бот сломался, все заходят на трансляцию и такие "чо случилось", почините бота, чтобы он комнады принимал, а то мы так не долетим

Sophira16 Feb 2021, 17:29

In case anyone's wondering about the status of this - it didn't die! In fact it's still going. (I've been keeping on top of when the bot and the stream have gone down and been notifying the devs when it happens.)

As of right now there are just over 32 days left to go until the game ends at midnight GMT on March 21st, 2021. If you're interested, come check it out!
