Really well done anissen! Love the effects/animations/concept.

Moody and arty! I like the visuals and the inverse kinematics. At first I thought I had to touch objects (or avoid touching) with the white part of the tree, but after I realized that I had to touch with the tip of the tree to grow or get poisoned, it got a bit too easy. It's a nice relaxing experience though. Shame about the graphics glitches when switching seasons that take away from the mood.

Great game play and mood. The music complimented both.

Very indie/artsy, i like that :)
The parallax effects were really good, and the music really helped building the mood.

I got stuck for 2 seasons because there were no suns falling on my tree, so I just watched my tree getting obliterated by skulls, so that was'nt much fun.
Next time try not to take complete control away from the player, but give the player a solution to the problem.

Good job!

Fun little game.

Great mood and graphic style! Also got stuck at one point - with no choices, should maybe check for this state and restart or similar.

Well made! And interesting approach of the theme, quite arty. I liked the mood. Try to improve your art style and you make build very great games!
I was a little bit frustrated when I lost and the level was still running though

Good idea and realization of growing! Had lot of fun playing!

Always nice to see Luxe games :) It's a lot of fun, strangely meditative.

The sound and music are great, brilliant job!

I think there a few little things that could really improve polish, like removing the scroll bar on the side or hiding the cursor. There's one bug that can kind of break the game: I got poison at the beginning of winter before I could see what was going on and then couldn't move at all any more. Up until then I was really enjoying the game joy :)

Nice effects!

The controls were nice and fluid. It was relaxing to collect the powerups and see my little sprout grow into something more.

I liked the mood and the experience overall. Good job.
