A game where the goal is to spread your roots deeper and deeper, collect nutrients, and eventually grow your tree! This game is in rough shape due to us not being able to devote as much time as we would have liked this weekend, and not having any artist friends, but we think the potential is there! The terrain and tree at the end of the game are procedurally generated and will be different every time.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Scoring too high in this game will cause the game to lock up due to the complexity in generating the tree. So try not to be too good... and keep your score under 40 if you want to see your tree! Be a bit patient it might take up to 30 seconds to generate (or longder if you scored really high). We are working on a fix for this, however we are very busy and the fix will require a good amount of optimizations.

GAMEPLAY:
Grow your root system down and collect 'nutrients' (the dotted dirt tiles) to grow your tree! Your water gauge determines how far you can expand your root system, collecting water tiles will increase your water bar allowing you to continue going deeper and deeper.

CONTROLS:

Use W and S to pan the camera up and down. LMB to click on nearby tiles to expand your root system.
