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
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.
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.
@JoshOS, yep it's more an experiment than a game :P
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.
Nice and relaxing :)
I like the root view
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 ! :)
pretty amazing game. This has lots of potential. You should stick with it.
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.
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
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 :)
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!
When you see "connecting to server" you know shit is serious!
Really awesome little masterpiece you have here!
Here is a better video - http://youtu.be/as-BlCZWXm0
Very very cool game. definitely the most original this jam.
very original and creative entry even if not a real "game"
nice atmosphere :)
Fun, interesting concept, great execution. One note, playing on the web (chrome), my browser would freeze up when selecting root view
I got 0 all the time. ;( I'm can't figure out what's wrong...
