Looks cool and quite fun. Nice simple mechanic and using both themes. Good job!

I like it too!! Very smooth controls!! The artwork looks nice... I am a big fan of minimalistic artwork! :D

Cool! It feels smooth and intuitive but still challenging. Looks good too!

very cool! A very pretty and elegant take on the old classic Snake. I really appreciate that the player's tree isn't just a single trunk extending out to pick up more pellets. The little branches growing out off the side really contributed a great deal to the aesthetic here.

I loved it! :P the tree grows very naturally... I just whish that I could view my resulting tree after playing :)
This was very simple and fun though. Good work

The tree growth looks pretty nice - the main trunk feels very natural. I was kind of expecting different-colored dots to have different effects, but that's all I can really say there.

Neat idea. I found it difficult to control the veins.

I got to 296m! GREAT GAME! It's my favorite I've played so far and the music is good too

lxxgarrisonxxl 2015-12-14 15:28

back for a little more this morning and I got 601m!

Simple and objective. It is well polished and with a very interesting art. Good job!

Good game! Fit both themes just excellent. I only suggest you to simplify the interface of the re-game - remove the R and Space keys.

853m yeah. At first it was frustrating but later on I had the feeling I got the hang of it and started developing strategies. Nice stuff!

Hard to control but it's beautiful

xgor 2015-12-16 11:04

Great use of both themes. It would been great if the colored pellets you grabbed affected the color of the tree as that could make it look even cooler.

gebirgsbaerbel 2015-12-16 11:08

I love how this tree grows, so much fun to watch.

coffeebeans 2015-12-17 16:34

GREAT CONCEPT! minimal design.... with a better input control and some iteration on gameplay this could be a hit!

lereveur 2015-12-19 22:08

I didn't feel this was "an incomplete game", it seems pretty complete as is, especially for a LD ! Sober, nice looking, and challenging entry, so : well done. :)

ahmeni 2015-12-19 23:17

Awesome stuff! Lots of fun, managed to snag 550m!

mahalis 2015-12-25 05:03

Very cool. Love the sinuous patterns the tree makes. I couldn't quite get the hang of steering it, though - it felt like sometimes it would turn almost immediately and sometimes it would doggedly stay pointed in the same direction. Still, nice work!

nirabazgames 2016-01-03 19:02

Very nice looking game

powerspark 2016-01-03 19:04

I love the look of it but it would be cool to see the tree after failing.

fadobo 2016-01-03 19:19

Really fun and generates some great looking minimalist trees.

arcturusdeluxe 2016-01-03 19:45

Cute little game. Seen a few of these tree growing games, this is a good example. Simple mechanics, easy to pick up and play, very smooth controls. The tree graphics are well done too.

pro-hat-switchers 2016-01-03 20:15

I got 437 altitude and 647.8 distance :D

agilejoshua 2016-01-03 20:21

Loved this - amazing concept, well executed. Can't wait to see a post LD version get featured on the app stores!

diabolohunter 2016-01-03 20:24

It's cool. I like that you combined both themes, and that you cameup with this simple yet addictive game idea. thumbs ub from me :)

Fun game. Controls felt good. I liked how your speed changed based on your remaining "fuel"

stanov 2016-01-03 20:41

Loved the music! (did you really make it in the 48 hours?)

The concept is cool, the controls are bit tough.
