Wow, just lovely, really really well done. My hat is off to you

It captures a really unique feeling. Relaxing and interesting. I enjoy it. Giving more control on growing and adjust camera to make it always focus on the top may help.

Sublime.

Lol mine all look like snakes. Cool concept though. Definitely need the relaxing pace and sound of this after the Compo.

nice job! indeed relaxing... although perhaps so relaxing I had a hard time understanding what my input was actually doing :P

Why is there balls of pulsating beef growing on our bonsai? :D

It's peaceful, but we couldn't quite figure out how to use it. When I click on a beef it starts bouncing around. I can rotate, but clicking on the camera and bonsai buttons didn't seem to do anything.

Graphically very pretty and seems innovative.

Wow, beautiful!

@bemmu Thanks for playing! Clicking the camera and tree buttons export screenshots and the tree's mesh/textures respectively. Check the folder where you unzipped the game!

Great entry. How I was affecting the growth was confusing at first, but I got the hang of it. We had very similar ideas. My entry is about growing bonsai too.

Very relaxing. I only manage to drive my branches into the ground, though. Still, love it!

it seemed to grow upwards too fast for me. I wonder if that is a frame dependency problem. really nice entry

Pretty cool idea, nice chilled out mood.

Very clever and unique idea! Thank you for such an experience!

Very pretty. It's a bit hard to control the growth with the ever changing camera angle, but it makes for nice organic trees.
