this game reminds me of a game that I have seen in CIGJ, 2018, where you act as a tree root and use the trail to represent your life trial. The root of this game nevertheless could do the same thing and the audio and art style of this game is really fancy! Especailly incredible for a compo game. Congrats!
I'm glad I followed when I saw a post, this game turned out incredible. The visuals and the pacing were well done, and the mechanics were simple. The mechanics were a little obscure, but that can add simplicity. Great entry!
I saw your blog post about this early on and was intrigued! Really nice light sound design kept me hooked in. Love your simple artwork and color pallet. One of my favorite entries so far.
I noticed in some of it's early stage on the main page and it immediately did attract my attention. I enjoyed the original curved path, but not missing it now when playing the final submitted entry. I like to find meaningful and well polished games like this here, such stand out.
Certainly an interesting take on the 'root' take on deeper and deeper, I enjoy the fact that there is a mechanic to destroy the rocks as you pass through them with the supplementary roots, which I've not seen in the other root exploration games that I have seen as of yet.
I desire to have the more challange about breaking rocks and finding water. But I also felt relax with the comfortable graph and sound. A cool zen game, thank you.
Hey!! I also made game about roots! tho really different than this one. I really liked how you managed the branching, looks really smooth. Great game! :D
Every "root-themed" game on this LD has its own charm and distinctive features. In yours, I like the minimalistic approach to graphics and UI. Nothing distracts the player from the growth. It's so soothing and relaxing, and so satisfying to watch! Great game!
A very nice, calm game. The steering felt a tad clunky, but that might've been the intention. Overally a very cool experience and all of the elements work really well together.
a bit easy, otherwise I've never played anything like it. If you can run out of water, you might want to have some sort of non-intrusive yet clear way of showing the player how much longer they can grow.
Really solid root game. Especially loved how you could get water from the rocks by cracking them open(the sound was spot on). Felt satisfying to play. Art was pretty and there was nothing unnecessary. I also liked the fact that there was this sort of story you told with the blobs of water and rock formation.

And while it is simple I enjoyed it.
Very nice compo
Nice art style, noised textures and good sounds create a deep atmosphere. Water sound getting louder as you go deeper adds a nice touch.
