Simple minimalist game about keeping tree alive.
The tree remains alive as long as the root avoids the stones.

I will be enjoy your feedback!

I couldn't play at itch.io :/ Link is broken. I'll give it a try later, it seems to be a nice game

Sadly I have to say the same as the guys above, dead link for me too. But I'll check back in time and hope this is resolved as I really like the idea behind this game and it looks good and fun to play!

Really pretty game. I loved the artstyle, which really coupled well with the music. Very well done!

Very nice game but kinda repetitive after a while. You should add different obstacles deeper in th ground :herb:

Nice game :smile: It's quite relaxing, I didn't tested it on my phone, but it seems perfectly adapted for it

Love this minimalistic approach, the game is fun and relaxing, and the animation of the tree dying was really cool too! Very nice!

This is very sweet, I appreciate the minimalist graphics; there's something uncanny about this game that I can't place my finger on

Very calm and beautiful!

My tree died! (*sad*) Really cool game tho! The gameplay was simple but supported by amazing graphics! Good game ^^

Nice game, really like the idea! Also would be great if there was a bit of progression in gameplay.

Really awesome game! Loved the simplistic graphic style and the music fit well.
Rodi21 Apr 2020, 12:19
I love the game!
It may be interesting to make the music evolve as the game go faster.

The music and the graphics at the beggining are so great ! Keep relax and slide, at first, ... after it becomes stressfull, because of the speed which increases. Other features / obstacles deeper could be good (reach water, ...)

The mood is awesome. Simple stuning graphics. The music fits well, sad to see you opted out of that. Fun game for a short game session. Thanks for the game.

Peaceful and calm game that fits the theme well. I like it!

Pretty simple but a nice ~aesthetic~ can compensate basically everything. Maybe speeding things up after a while would make it better tho. You can actually (at least in the browser) make the root go outside of the screen where it doesn't seem like there are any rocks so basically you can just go as far as you want.
That being said, good job!

My favorite part was when you loose! The tree's destruction was so beautiful and sad!
Havok0621 Apr 2020, 12:26
This was a very relaxing experience ... until it got very fast :)

Very nice little game, cool and simple aesthetics, nice relaxing audio, and that rewarding finish. thank you for this gme.

Holy shit I just love this so much, the music gave me chills, the concept is just beatiful and really well executed.

If this was a full blown game with more content I'm sure I could play it for hours.

Awesome atmosphere, minimalistic graphics, I just love this dude, congratulations.

The sadness and beauty this communicates is just crazy, it's art.

Like the way the camera pans back up after you hit a rock. Nice little entry.

I'm really happy I played this game. Such a calming and beautiful game. I'm not sure how to win but the tree is so beautiful that I don't mind dying.
It's quite tricky to move sideways out of the way. The start graphics are stunning and set up the atmosphere and story so well. The music fits adds colour, I just wish i could have kept it alive for longer. Purhaps add distractions in the roots - nesting creature, bugs, bone etc. Your visuals are so beautiful that distractions would only add to the want to grow for longer. Thank you for a lovely game.

Nice game! Loved your interpretation of the theme, the game fells relaxing and at the same time me me fells introspective

Aww, this is so beautiful and so addicting. I love the minimalistic aesthetics. And what a nice move not to include a score! That would only have distracted from the actual experience.
