Roots game

Nice! I love when you see your path and all those tiny roots

Nice game you've made, I would love to see the tree above ground in the end, but I guess that is not really growing is it? :D Otherwise nice and simple, love it

Good idea for relaxing game.

The graphics are very pretty, I love the animation of the seed falling into the ground and the plant starting to grow! Very nice vibes :)

This is really inspiring. I like the concept and expending roots is somehow satisfying.

Simple and good! Exactly what one would expect of a gamejam game, its simple, but very well made. I love the overview in the end, and i also love it that even if u "control" your roots, they still do a littlebit what they want, great.

This is amazing. You did what I thought in my mind, and you did it very, very well. It's great! I love it!

This was so pleasant. Toyed with using roots in my game, but your implementation is truly impressive.

Great game!!
I love the way you use the theme.

It is soo much fun no errors nothing bad that`s really good I like how you used the theme

Very pleasant game of aiming for stuff to feed the roots. Maybe could've used some obstacles, but the way the roots look at the end is actually amazingly realistic. It's so cool to see at the end!

Really adorable little game! Its very satisfying to see the roots slowly grow outwards! :D Great work!

Really nice relax game! Graphics are awesome. Maybe adding some obstacles (rocks..etc) will make it even better. Overall its really nice and polished game. Good job!

The zoomout at the end is really cool! I'm a big fan of how the root system generates (I couldn't help but spam the space bar), and it works really well as a zen experience. Well done!

This is very simple and elegant, calm too, great entry!

great.

Sweet and relaxing game. I could totally imagine an added leaderboard to this eventually. Kind of a zen experience right here and I'd gladly play it again!

A really interesting take on the theme. It was chill experience, I really enjoyed it.

Really cute and satisfying! It's super fun to see the branches go off and do their own thing. That and the zoom out at the end are the details that really make this work, for me.

Plus, it runs great in Wine on Linux!

Great game ! Love the mechanic and also it's a very smart idea to see what the roots look like at the end of the game. Good job !

Good, relaxing game.

I get poor performance on my potato laptop with an integrated GPU but still it was a rather visually pleasing experience, you really nailed the root visuals!

I didn't find the gameplay to be that interesting though since there wasn't much challenge. Adding obstacles like @welby and @the1 mentioned might make it more interesting, maybe even moving ones like moles or something. The music was a bit repetitive but passable, but other than that a decent take on the theme.

Amazing idea! Nice meditative game :)

A very nice, laid-back little game. It took me a moment to understand the logic of the yellow orbs, but I liked creating neat little root systems and I really appreciate that you show the full root at the end!

Thanks for submitting! I hope my in-stream feedback was helpful!

Really cool and relaxing game! Cool to see other interpretations of the "root theme"... Your game definately has some artistic value!
I loved the aesthetics and growing animation. The end result of the roots always looks very nice.
Only the music was getting a bit repetitive after a while. Nevertheless I enjoyed your game a lot! Thanks for that.

Very nice little game. I had exactly the same idia but scrapped it because I thought it would be to hard to realize. Very glad to see this concept actually become a real game. The roots visuals are great! Very relaxing vibe and the music is good!

A really nice little game! Very chill. Nice stuff! I think it could be improved by allowing your root to get thicker again giving it longer life. However that could then remove the "chill" vibes of the game.
good entry!

"Nice curves"? "Good lenght" (sic)? what are you trying to tell me? ;)
Great idea, and I like that the roots 'search' for the nearest energy!

Really nice idea. I'm very curious about code. I used game maker studio 1 for the jam.
Maybe an indicator would be needed to understand if we are at the end. Nice entry!

Just played another similar game about growing roots, and yours is the superior one I have to say. It's very relaxing and I like that you have to keep collecting energy and send additional roots to the orbs so you can keep playing. The game is very simple and elegant in every way, and also super lightweight which is always nice.

Good job on this entry :thumbsup:

The growing roots 'animation' is pretty well done, and seeing the whole roots network at the end gives a really nice view (though I would have liked to also see the plant) and gives the game a nice chll vibe.

Main mechanic of the root growing & spreading + controls is good, but the game lacks a bit outside of that, imo. A bit more complexity would be needed : obstacles, powerups to grow more, etc... anything that gives variety to the gameplay.
Also, if the game is a scoring game, it should be clear from the start & we should see the score during the run to know whether we're doing well or not, making it easier to improve, rather than just on the end screen.

Oh, what a nice mood ~

I enjoyed playing it and chilling.
I think all is grat, but maybe a few more mechanics would make this game even better!

Kepp working like this, this was a really great work!

I loved this simple and relaxing experience. It's always satisfying seeing automata simulations like this!
