Very beautiful game, I did not quite understand what the goal is after you first reach the water but the shapes that the plant makes as it grows are beautiful. Mt only problem with the game was the sound. If you have multiple branches die at the same time the sound is very unpleasant. Besides that the controls are a little figity but I just imagine the amount of time it took you to implement the growth behavior and making it so that you can expend the plant from any point and I don't see any time left for polishing the controls. Great entry.
This was an original idea. Missing some kind of button or start option when you actually grow together. It just kind of stops and then I have to reload the page. I couldn't completely understand the link between the sounds and the roots, but it felt like it was vinyl related somehow. Maybe we should be able to grow "other sounds" or something too.
@thooom I ran out of time towards the end so had to rush in this "ending", I want to keep working on it as the original idea was to have it generate a vinyl cover based on your roots & play some music. Thanks for the feedback!
interesting mechanic, I think it could use a more expansive environment though. That's an idea I'd like to see in a game, where you're a single giant organism creeping around somewhere
Lovely little project (also your VR garden game looks cool!). This makes me want a mode where you can export images of the branchy structures you create.
I couldn't figure out exactly what was making some roots die - like it looked like they were in the water, but then they just started going black and falling off.
I enjoyed just growing roots, though. The shapes that the root systems form combined with the blue dot of water in the center and vibrant green creates a beautiful gestalt. It's like a modern art album cover.
Love the idea of survive by connecting with others (especially strangers). I think this allows for you to create something beautiful with others, which you don't often get a chance to do in games. I unfortunately, didn't fully understand the mechanic. It felt like every time I connected a root to another, it would start dying.
I'm not sure I understood anything, but my frankenplant says hello. It told me to tell you it's enjoying it's newly given life and will sure live life to its full.
It's hard to understand how the mechanic works, and after a while you get stuck wondering if you should have done something differently. But I think it's the most interesting part of the game ! experimenting with this awesome mechanic and create something new everytime. Good job, looks challenging to program :thumbsup:
