You are in the last oasis, the only oasis, but it is threatened. You will have to go out to look for the elements that will allow you to summon life once again in this world. Each time you collect the items requested by the wise tree, it will give you a seed. This seed can be placed in the desolate world to summon a tree. This tree will be a new zone of peace, allowing you to regain strength to continue your exploration.

- Move with the arrow keys or W/A/S/D (Z/Q/S/D)

- Use the space bar to interact with the pedestal and enter in the summoning mode (you must have obtained at least one seed)

I loved it! Beautiful atmosphere, like an abandoned land! The beginning of a new world filled with trees and yeah the zombie noises are very oppressive, they scared me, even without seeing them ! well done 🙂

The idea of summoning life to a desert is very intriguing, could be a promising concept for a full game. The title screen is really beautiful, the music and the art give a really soothing, peaceful vibe. I can see some inspiration taken from Zelda (the wise tree, the mushrooms and the flowers feel somewhat familiar...), but the oasis theme and the character designs bring a unique touch in the mix.

Gameplay-wise the tutorialization could have used some work, but the instructions on the site helped with understanding what to do. Some visual indication on how to summon a tree could have helped, as even with knowing that there was some pedestal where one can use the seeds, it was not clear you had to go to the tree stump. Not sure if there was an end goal, but If there was one then it could have been informed to the player in a clearer way. Growing an oasis is an interesting concept, and this entry shows that it has merit. Good job!

The core concept is great: push your luck as far as you can and venture out. Then gain upgrades and skill to continue to push that luck. You should definitely consider taking this game play and running with it further. Great work!
