You may be too smart to make video games. It seemed like a game a scientist would enjoy playing.

Very nice idea. Gameplay needs refine.
Idea is good. The controls are realy not responsive, maybe refining the controls, adding more elements and giving more feedback to the player would improve the game a lot.
Keep the idea, and rethink the whole concept. Maybe you should use a grid system for planting :)
It's an interesting game. I like the concept of guiding the growth of nature.
The controls and feedback definitely could use improvement. I reached the end screen, but I still don't feel like I understand exactly how everything worked. For example, I'm not sure when I'm allowed to connect a fungus to a tree. I understand that connections require FungiEnergie, but is there also a maximum of 3 connections allowed for each fungus? I suppose that's what you mean by "connection limited"? Tutorials and instructions are important!
I'm happy that you included a victory screen -- this is an example of GOOD feedback to the player!

It sounded interesting; but I had a really hard time understanding how the game worked with the confusing UI and directions :(
The game looks like it could have been neat, but I can't say I quite understood what I was doing.
A tad confusing, would need more in-game feedback for me to work. Good effort!
Alright, I can't really tell what was going on, it told me to select a tree to connect, but after clicking the tree multiple times I've got no indication there is a connection. Maybe there actually was. >.<
It seems like it could be interesting after some polishing (what couldn't, though? ^^"), but so far somewhat unclear instructions with weird names, and my inability to establish apparent connection between the tree and the fungus caused me to quit. >.<
Great game. I had difficulty with connecting the mushrooms - I'm not sure why, but the concept is original.
Interesting idea and use of the theme. May need some more explaining and help in the game as far as what to do.
