haha! Killing tanks leaves a blood spatter on the ground, loved that :)). Becomes a bit hard to kill the lumberjacks when the tree is big. Nice job!

enemy units are walking/driving backwards and are sometimes vanishing into the ground, there is no feedback of the "eating" actually happening, there is randomly a splatter effect either appearing or not.
It honestly doesn't feel very good to play, since it never really changes.
Have to say though, that the music and bloodsplatter creates an eerie feeling, which I guess is intended, therefore I say the mood is fine.
and in terms of innovation...what better way to express to be against deforestation then by creating the "saviour" Treesus to defeat all the evil woodcutters :o (but whats the point of the tanks?)
There is no executable for the linux version.
hhhh so funny , would have loved to be cannibalistic and eat fellow trees :P
Thanks for playing! I will try your games soon!
VladRusu, you must have killed a lot of them. :O I Should have moved the camera up slightly every time the tree grew.
Farelle, it's lacking in polish and fun because I ran out of time. There really is no deeper meaning to the game, you play as a tree who grows because that fits the theme. Lumberjacks seemed to be a good enemy for a tree. Tanks were supposed to balance it, to come blow you up or light you on fire. But I ran out of time.
Roffe, it's kind of hidden on the Game Jolt site. Click the "more" button on GameJolt right next to the "download" button, and you'll see download options for Mac and Linux versions.
abuzreq, ahahaha that's a great idea!
nice idea but the graphic can be better
I wasn't really sure what the "game" aspect of this was, but destroying a tank with a tree, and somehow causing blood effects, was kinda interesting in itself.
I like the creativity behind this game, I think it's a great idea that could be made into a really interesting game. I would really like to see that brought into the game mechanics. It would be really interesting, for example, if it was more of a stealth game: you had to sneak around the lumberjacks, and if you moved in their sightline they chase you and try to cut you down, but you could kill them from behind and stand still to pretend you're just a normal tree. I enjoyed the visual effects added to give a bit of feedback.
Nice idea but I can see you ran out of time. Lack of unit animations and some other graphical kinks made it look unfinished.
I've found my mother, but she didn't reacted when I was around...
The game is crazy, but I liked the fun to destroy tanks. Well done
How I felt playing this game:

LOL, I wanted to have chainsaws. But ran out of time.
