Holy shit! This is awesome!

liens 2014-04-28 12:37

Wow cool and creepy, pitty there's no audio though.

goerp 2014-04-28 13:00

Wow, great mood! And what a original (weird) game.
The old black and white style makes the lack of sound fitting, it's a silent movie!

And there's at least one surprise.

Do you make more games?

weaselzone 2014-04-28 13:11

Heh, nice touch with the balloon - very cool atmosphere!

philip_sinclair 2014-04-28 13:11

interesting concept, and nice looking. creepy!

ezolotko 2014-04-28 13:11

This one is cool

conormn 2014-04-28 13:12

I've always wanted to be a bone eating tree. Thanks for making a dream come true. Very nice :)

hexagore 2014-04-28 13:13

Loved this, didn't read the instructions so I didn't know how to deal with the spiders but in a way that made it more challenging :)

local-minimum 2014-04-28 13:16

I really liked the graphics and nice little complexity of the game. Very straight forward to get going. If there had been fitting music to the feeling of the visual effects and the digging and spiders and happy balloon... then it would have been perfect.

okkolobr 2014-04-28 14:01

Really nice ! Loved the old movie look. Nice gameplay idea, made me think about Sleepy Hollow. Great job !

caridorc 2014-04-28 14:17

Beatiful game! I've composed some music for it (you can make a post-compo version with the music). Here you can download my music https://www.dropbox.com/s/bmzo1pjxy5ie60z/Background%20music%20for%20Baum.wma just write 'Music by Caridorc' somewhere in the game or in a read-me file. I hope you will enjoy my soundtrack!

hathol 2014-04-28 17:03

Awesome mood and art style!

celt 2014-04-28 17:06

this is worth beeing developed further!

doubstract 2014-04-28 17:33

Never seen anything like this before, great job!

jorgemoag 2014-04-28 19:23

Wow, I love it! +5 Mood

kepamun 2014-04-28 19:53

Super creepy, and strangely compelling.
There should be a way to fight spiders, or they should kill you instantly. The waiting helplessly for death part sucks.
Still, I enjoyed the game.

derosa 2014-04-28 21:11

This game is creepier than most zombie-based games I've seen xD Really nice looking and great interpretation of the theme. Thanks for making it!

oatsbarley 2014-04-29 07:56

Interesting! I definitely agree with the other commenters that music would have made it even better.

bukaneerz 2014-04-29 09:16

Really good concept !
Your art and mood are so cool,
This game need a little music (:

zzorn 2014-04-29 12:29

Ah, those dark and creepy trees, munching bones hidden from our eyes beneath the ground.

Great fit on theme, and moody graphics.

bekokstover 2014-04-29 18:34

That atmosphere sure helps the game a lot. I wish it had some sound, but the quiet of the black-and-white movie screen is also really creepy. The mechanics work well, and are surprisingly engaging. That feeling when one crawls up your roots! :D

snoother 2014-04-29 20:03

Nice black-and-white graphics, really stylish. Game was a bit slow but nevertheless fun.

daylonwilkins 2014-04-29 20:06

Very interesting! The atmosphere is quite something else, and it's quite difficult to manage the spiders when there are quite a lot of them. Great game!

seconddimension 2014-04-29 20:11

Nice, simple game with a a good style. No audio for me though.

tobiasw 2014-04-29 23:00

"You are a tree. Use your roots to grab as many bones as possible without touching the spiders."
*looks at the image below*
*looks at the description again*
Hu.

Weird, creepy, slightly funny and stylish at the same time - I like it! The silent film (well, actually silent - pity there is no music!) look is pretty well executed.

The gameplay is fun, but I think a goal or fail condition would've enhanced it - like a timer, for example.

All in all, pretty cool and well done!

jonochrome 2014-04-30 09:49

Woah.

Feel like there needs to be more of a pattern to the spiders so you can better strategize when to make your move, but... woah.

plaw 2014-04-30 14:17

Really cool. I like the simplicity of the concept. Presentation is also quite good.

kalabasa 2014-04-30 14:20

Nice simple casual game. It's perfect for a mobile app! :)

ccglp 2014-04-30 14:21

Dark and creepy moody, so cool!

akymos 2014-04-30 14:49

Unmotivated vintage graphics made the gameplay a little funnier. Good job.

vilya 2014-04-30 23:46

Very very cool. Well done! The only thing that could improve it is audio, I think.

finefin 2014-05-01 08:44

very nice game that looks awesome and gets hard very quick.
thumbs up!

terraco 2014-05-01 08:57

Those damn spiders!

makatak 2014-05-03 20:42

Really creepy and unique style, and fun too!

oddly-shaped-pixels 2014-05-04 10:47

Really nice aesthetics and the mechanic is simple yet well implemented and addictive as well. Nice entry!

pansapiens 2014-05-04 10:53

Really cute, stylish and engaging to play. Although the visuals evoke movies from the silent era, I'd probably still like some sound, even if it was understated. Also, I felt like the difficulty curve didn't ramp up enough after a while - sure, I eventually died, but it felt more like eventual bad luck than the game exceeding my skill level (if that makes any sense). I think this would be even more fun on a touch screen since you could disable multiple spiders simultaneously (until you run out of fingers).

freezx 2014-05-04 20:08

Very nice atmosphere there. Has a creepy mood, and the gameplay is veryoriginal :D

hyouko 2014-05-04 23:43

Wonderfully creepy. I understand the lack of audio given the aesthetic, but I think a tinkly piano soundtrack would work really well here.

phocker 2014-05-05 04:57

nice work - some creepy sounds would have been nice too - great job

christinaneofotistou 2014-05-05 18:36

beautiful, weird and fun!!! Loved the black and white!

jacob-peltola 2014-05-05 20:30

I really like how creepy the atmosphere is, as well as figuring out that bones are good and crawly spider things are bad, nice game

gigitrix 2014-05-06 19:59

Loved the aesthetic!

zebi24 2014-05-07 10:29

You really did awesome job creating a creepy atmosphere with visuals and I really like the ability to stop only 1 spider, that makes the game really fun to play, great job!

voider 2014-05-07 21:54

Really good entry. I would love to find more games as innovative as this.

shivur 2014-05-08 00:26

Cool original concept.

badgerpriest 2014-05-08 06:26

Really digging the silent-movie vibe.

zerkruemler 2014-05-08 08:48

Cool black and white style. Sounds would be fun.

bubuiic 2014-05-09 08:31

Good idea - great implemenatation. Especially the setting which creates a dark and atmospheric mood. I like it very much!

alshirah 2014-05-09 11:39

Great game. Great Graphics. No Audio. Overall I like it

jacklehamster 2014-05-09 12:09

Nice vintage movie style but a bit hard on the eyes. Interesting new gameplay.

xenosns 2014-05-10 02:37

Love the style, very tim burton.

jaj 2014-05-10 11:39

Really great style! Audio could really improve this game.

ioboi 2014-05-10 13:16

Difficult and creepy, I like it!

jupiter_hadley 2014-05-10 20:10

Love the graphics and gameplay! I included it in part 20 of my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/LetpuBbjABA

angelk 2014-05-11 08:47

The film grain texture is really great, this would have felt like a totally different game without it. Nice job.

bubuiic 2014-05-11 14:15

Very cool, I enjoyed the ambience. Thanks for rating our entry, by the way. And finally a web game, I can play on Linux.

udo 2014-05-12 13:44

I loved this, the idea, the graphics, very well done :)

paperblurt 2014-05-12 14:02

Woah.
The style and mood is real scary.
Interesting and fresh gameplay.

badlydrawnrod 2014-05-15 19:56

Fantastic look and feel to it, and I liked the balloon. Right up there for mood, despite the lack of sounds.

plasterphantom 2014-05-16 15:12

Graphics were cool, no audio sadly. Reptitive gameplay though, lacking feedback on the balloon "power up"

nightshadow0 2014-05-16 15:24

Definitely original haha, the art style is pretty appealing.

jsmars 2014-05-16 18:16

Really fun and creepy! Could really use some audio :)

degtyarev 2014-05-17 00:09

haha, dat ambience so depressive! injoyable game! :)

degtyarev 2014-05-17 00:11

haha, dat ambience so depressive! enjoyable game! :)

badpaul34 2014-05-17 21:13

That's so cool! Great little game, unique with a good concept. Like the atmosphere that really fits to the theme. Miss the audio, too bad :)

wademcgillis 2014-05-18 02:36

Fun little game!

I could never get the balloon though.

elefantopia 2014-05-18 23:07

The mood is entrancing... I like the graphics, gameplay? soso.

pixelpun 2014-05-19 01:58

Something about this really creeps me out.. :P cool game!

wschorn 2014-05-19 03:26

salad fingers creepy

daanvanyperen 2014-05-19 20:55

Very artistic!

kragnir 2014-05-20 00:17

Cool idea, think you created a nice mood with the graphics and effects. The gameplay could use some work and needs something that makes it interesting.

alpha_rat 2014-12-09 18:30

awesome graphics and atmosphere on this one
