Multiplayer is a big achievement in this time frame

This is pretty amazing for a game jam. I like the atmosphere too.

best ld game i have played so far

gagapete 2014-04-28 17:32

Nice game, not sure though where it is cooperative. :) But awesome relaxing gameplay.

It must have been hard to create a multiplayer game in such a short timeframe. Good job on that! The game looks good and the atmosphere is relaxing, nice one! :)

Are the other paths generated by other players? If so this is a really interestinglittle toy! II'll be curious to see if you come up with similar stuff in the future.

@GagaPete: The health of the tree depends of what the player do, so if a lotf players don't find much water the tree become sick (as every root created cost a little energy), viceversa if the player get a lot of water the tree will become healthy.

@KevinWorkman: Yes the other roots are the paths that other player have taken.
The rocks and water is procedurally generated every new play.

A very relaxing game! I really like the art style and the sound track. This is a game i will come back to when i need to lose some stress. Thanks for creating this!

Rather ingenious little idea I thought! I would love to see this concept taken further.

snade 2014-04-29 10:39

Great concept!
I got a score of 8, not sure if thats a good or a bad score.

Long live the tree! http://i.gyazo.com/94326b81c20a727ca6cbd1876d9d8b2d.png

Moving on - incredible take on the terms "Beneath the surface"

Very impressed with this one. The fact that other players have an input on how this game is incredible; and the root view... oh my!

I confess it's not a game I'd spend much time playing; but seeing the collaboration of all the people who have played it impresses me greatly! It's more like a game-styles experiment, I suppose?

You get my vote :)

It's a very interesting game and an original experience.

dsoft20 2014-04-29 15:50

@JoshOS, yep it's more an experiment than a game :P

arcturusdeluxe 2014-04-29 17:01

I love the concept, its definitely experimental but really interesting. The multiplayer aspect is very impressive given the time limitations, and the root view is really cool.

jagang 2014-04-29 17:06

Nice and relaxing :)
I like the root view

flavio 2014-04-29 19:26

At the beginning it was confusing. Did I really understand what was going on ?
But I like the mood and use of the theme !
Are all the roots behind the roots of the other players ? That's an amazing idea !
A big collaborative game
Good game ! :)

biggianthead 2014-04-29 20:27

pretty amazing game. This has lots of potential. You should stick with it.

calvinsm 2014-04-30 00:34

So genius !!!! Simple music, simple game. Damn!!!!Why I didn't have the same idea =)

Innovation isn't the correct word to our game!

I really love the idea. But you need to work more in your gameplay to became rich.

jupiter_hadley 2014-04-30 03:43

For some reason the game did not work for me, but I included a mention to it in part 3 of my Ludum Dare 29 compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/pi2GfgHfAZM

tanner101010 2014-04-30 05:18

Interesting game, not sure how the score is calculated and what they mean :( Definitely fits the theme well and would be a good app for phones after polish :)

wicht 2014-04-30 08:58

Nice concept and cudos for the coop multiplayer. At the start it's really hard to distinguish which root is yours, but otherwise cool idea!

soupwithbits 2014-04-30 12:29

When you see "connecting to server" you know shit is serious!
Really awesome little masterpiece you have here!

jupiter_hadley 2014-04-30 23:07

Here is a better video - http://youtu.be/as-BlCZWXm0

Very very cool game. definitely the most original this jam.

rujomarco 2014-05-01 01:52

very original and creative entry even if not a real "game"
nice atmosphere :)

delfino 2014-05-02 12:44

Fun, interesting concept, great execution. One note, playing on the web (chrome), my browser would freeze up when selecting root view

melondonut 2014-05-09 08:17

I got 0 all the time. ;( I'm can't figure out what's wrong...
