Keep it alive!

Again, I bit more than I could handle.
What I hoped it would be a team of 3+ it turned out into a me, myself and I team.

I spent most of the time trying to implement the fluid dynamics and make it pretty.
The game play suffers yet again, as it's always my last priority :rolling_eyes:

It was a nice twist at the end :)
Great graphics and mechanics!

That was fun! I spent more time that i could've though. The main (and only) probem I found was that the framerate ended being like 2fps at the end of the level.

GG, but the end makes me a little sad :/

It was both impactful and very amusing to see the fruits of my labour immediately demolished. The futility! Those foolish humans! I thought it was a great interpretation of the theme. Great graphics, too.

Cool concept, a combo of pipe connecting puzzle and Tetris. I liked the style of the game, the little sparkles that followed pipe pieces around was a good touch. The music was nice and calming, although the sound effect of pieces sliding was quite loud and jarring. As you said, the gameplay did not go anywhere, but as a beginning it was quite fun. I was surprised when I grew a tree and a bulldozer came out of nowhere and flattened it. I think that this is a great little concept piece, well done!

Wasn't quite sure how I was supposed to stay alive. Took a second to sink in... that's the point!

What is there is really nice, quite polished visually and the interactions work well.
Is there some way to save the trees though? I tried a few times and no matter what I did the bulldozers just came and destroyed them.

I didn't really know what I was doing but I enjoyed connecting the pipes and seeing the water flow anyway. I think you greatly succeded in making in pretty!!

Well done :)

Liked the way you could do nothing about these bulldozers.
The artstyle was simple but very special (in a positive way) at the same time.

Nice entry!

I wouldn't say the game play suffered here. The music is eh, take it or leave it, but the graphics are good, the sound is good, the game play is inventive and fun. I really liked your entry! Good job!

I like the game but if you gave water to the trees then the tree would instantly die because of the trucks.
