Uh... There's no link, no game.

sineglitch 2015-12-14 18:47

can't find a link.

davesoft 2015-12-14 19:18

Phantom game?

slothmachine 2015-12-15 02:07

Link added! I started submitting before I had the build online. But now it's done :)

I drew a heart. It was beauti-something.

acerio 2015-12-15 03:25

Great game, love the graphics, and clever idea!

ryandali 2015-12-15 03:31

Visuals and audio look great, very calming.
Would prefer more options in terms of gameplay, maybe colors?

skullpixel 2015-12-15 03:33

Well thought out game with pretty and somewhat minimalistic graphics, in a good way, and a VERY sentimental little tree. ;)

boxedmeatrevolution 2015-12-15 03:34

Love the ambience

arcturusdeluxe 2015-12-15 04:06

Pretty experimental, but cool. Very chill. The tree's talking was cute. It did crash for me unfortunately, I guess because of Unity's WebGL stuff still being a bit wonky. Oh well, good stuff anyway.

blohod 2015-12-15 04:08

very charming, nice atmosphere and fun too.

rufson 2015-12-15 04:49

Love

This was lovely -- I could see this mechanic used in a more traditional game, but it's also great in this form. The art style and audio match the mood perfectly.

I hit a freeze during two playthroughs, but I really enjoyed this nonetheless!

alvaromartin 2015-12-15 06:32

The game froze for me as well, but I must say the mood was awesome. I loved the weird theme and the soundscape.

slothmachine 2015-12-15 09:42

Hmm. I get a freeze too, but it continues after a while. Does anyone have ideas what could cause such a thing?

slothmachine 2015-12-15 10:12

It comes randomly in mid way through the game. 2-5 second freeze. Then it continues normally. Nothing special is instantiated or done when this happens.

misteak 2015-12-15 11:26

such a kind little tree :')

webravenz 2015-12-15 12:53

amazing mood, cutest little tree ever

ildfuglen 2015-12-15 13:53

This game is a gem, a piece of art, I love it! It's really refreshing to play games like these. This game is not really a game in a normal sense, it's more of an interactive experience that showers you with compliments.

Great job on this, it's beautiful. This is one of the best games I have played in Ludum Dare so far, well done!

Thanks for the game, I hope to see you make more games in future Ludum Dares!

Very polish entry!
The mood is perfect, the graphics are neat and the overall idea is lovely.
I wish there was a way to see other's plants online.
Good job :)

local306 2015-12-15 21:56

Cool story bro (it actually was :D)

adamk33n3r 2015-12-16 04:57

*Victory Dance*

Music was amazing

candlesan 2015-12-16 09:31

Very interesting take on the theme! Liked it! Calming and peaceful and a funny joke at the end :) Enjoyed myself.

gagapete 2015-12-16 11:39

No audio in Chrome but in Firefox it works flawless. Great execution, lovely music. I like that experience. I guess you should try to make the result sharable on Twitter or alike, so people could share their "drawings".
Also it sometimes don't let you grow a pixel directly between two black pixels, that makes it hard to create really great art. :)

akhera 2015-12-16 21:38

Not much of a game, but the atmosphere is relaxing.

vitasamode 2015-12-17 03:53

didn't load at all for me on chrome but worked after some loading time on firefox.

Clever concept and the visuals as well as music tied showcased the mood really well. in terms of gameplay it was more open ended and artistic which didn't feel too much like a game, nevertheless I enjoyed it for what it was.

You could potentially expand this further and add some mechanics to turn it into more of a game per se. Either way I think this was a good entry that could have been pushed a bit more.

aglavra 2015-12-18 20:38

I really liked your approach to the theme.

pusty 2015-12-18 20:40

Nice graphics very good!

troma 2015-12-18 20:47

Good graphics and sound!

kddekadenz 2015-12-18 22:01

Hm, interesting idea! I love how you tried to create a calm yet lively atmosphere with the camera movement and the particles.
I felt a bit like the lines screamed to make a penis or something bad with them ... I wonder if it would have felt differently with little round bushes to create your plant out of or something similar.

zeriver 2015-12-18 22:02

I had to, im sorry

Interesting experience. I liked graphics and music, really matching together. Fun game.

jsmars 2015-12-18 22:43

Beautiful idea and take on the theme.. would be awesome if all trees were saved and you you got to see a forest full of all creations at the end.

alpha_rat 2015-12-18 22:43

Really touching little game! i loved it

jeroenwimmers 2015-12-19 01:09

it crashed to times for me at: "sometimes people are beautiful". I wanna see what happens:(

rfdshir 2015-12-19 02:40

Wonderful experiment! Really like it ^_^

publicidadeba 2015-12-19 04:22

Thank you for being so nice to me.

rijnswand 2015-12-19 16:38

Good idea, that was a nice and relaxing experience.

ointment 2015-12-19 17:09

No se oli sitten vissiin vaan semmonen. Ilmeisesti aika helkutin tärkeitä puhekuplia kun pitää aina tulla hiiren tielle. Eipä mulla muuta.

rnlf 2015-12-19 21:53

Lovely little non-game :-) Great style, great audio, great little story.

Good job!

thebrickanator 2015-12-20 01:21

Awesome! I love the atmosphere :D

roaringcatgames 2015-12-20 02:39

Yes this is a game. I had a good time making the tree grow. I felt good about giving the tree weirdo limbs. Sometimes I was not able to shoot my tree particles the way I wanted, but it didn't matter. I wish I could export the tree. Tweet it or something.

mike-cullingham 2015-12-20 06:45

Like the zen nature of this. A nice relaxing "game" to end my night of playing LD games. Would be neat to see a forest of everyone's creation. Thank you for this.

inbetweengames 2015-12-21 07:17

Very relaxing. Could be expanded into a longer experience for sure!

gfm 2015-12-21 12:42

Interesting little experience! :)

The aesthetics are great! I really liked how simple but effective the graphics are.

lurils 2015-12-22 00:42

really nice experience

radnap 2015-12-22 15:52

ThReally nice graphics, i love the ambiance ! The dialogues are well written and i found it quite charming.
The only downside is the sound which are a too noisy and masked the music while not really corresponding to the overall mood. Well done anyway !

aflatminerstudios 2016-01-04 03:47

What a charming little tree.
(Animating the pixels wooshing into place was a nice touch.)

jupiter_hadley 2016-03-28 03:06

Really lovely game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/MR4ln4T3mFk
