My favorite game so far! I loved the surprises around every corner. I won't spoil em' for anyone else though.

tero-pulkkinen 2018-04-23 02:34

Looks quite interesting.

Fun little game, I'm realy liked how apples become a deadly weapon :D

Struggled a bit at the start to even grow, but once I got the hang of it I enjoyed every minute. This is an amazing game!

It started well, then I made some bad decisions and I died, fun game.

Interesting. Took me a few attempts to actually figure out how to play and I was handicapped by the fact that I couldn't see the whole screen at the same time thanks to my crappy screen resolution. But, none the less, I had fun once I figured out what I was doing!

Ok, I'm really bad. It took me 5 time to figure out how aiming works. :smile: But I got it then and it was fun.

Good job!

Very interesting! I love the concept, took me some time to master but I had a lot of fun.

Great game, lots of fun! I feel like it doesn't fit the theme very well though. Also, the lightning strike before the rain is a bit loud gave me a good spook ;). Other than that good job!

I really liked this but I think you have a bug - I got to around almost as high as the screen and had a lot of health. I fended off someone with a drill and still had a lot of health then out of nowhere the screen just popped up and said I died. By the way I laughed out loud at the 5000 years old thing - classic.

@jack-hipson thanks for the feedback! I struggled with the theme at first, but I think the combination of a relaxing building game with a fast-paced action game fits the theme alright. :)

@morphine I'll look into it but one thing I should have mentioned is that lumberjacks (and drills especially) can take away a lot of your health in a short amount of time. Maybe a warning sound when you get to low health would be helpful. Thanks a lot for the feedback. :)

You did an amazing job here! definitely one of my favorites, I found myself playing this one for quite a while. My one criticism is that you could have done the theme a bit better, as the combination of builder and action isn't that "incompatible". Still! excellent entry, you're in my top 5 :D.

100th-coin 2018-04-24 21:08

Very well done. I found it incredibly satisfying and funny to mercilessly murder lumberjacks with an apple.

foolmoron 2018-04-24 21:40

Didn't realize I could build sideways until I got pretty tall, but that was pretty cool. The mechanics encouraged you to build like an actual tree. The drill instantly got me... death screen was amazing though.

duuuude 2018-04-24 21:43

I love that you throw apples to kill humans. The message at the end of a run was neat!

Now that I think about it this tree is evil. It's not only killing humans, is feeding on their bodies!!

GG Keep up the great work!

przekop 2018-04-24 21:45

Feels good. But how do I fight those fires!?

carvster 2018-04-24 21:46

Survived a solid 4 minutes 40 once I worked out what to do! simple concept but quite satisfying

lereveur 2018-04-24 21:46

Fun idea, good realisation - good job! Just one thing : why a screen so large and wide ? It was not very easy to play with only the center of the game ^_^

ramon15749 2018-04-24 21:50

I found the game and the music really relaxing. Took me a while to understand the aiming mechanism though (but maybe it's just me). Really fun game to play. Good job!

sundancekid 2018-04-24 22:02

@lereveur Sorry about the resolution, I have a pretty big monitor and didn't notice. Easy fix with itch.io :) Thanks for the feedback.

powerspark 2018-04-24 22:05

Quite a funny game, great execution of mixing anxiety and relaxation. My 3 minutes felt like 10 because of how hostile everything was. I must say that the leaf blocks apples would fire from seemed a bit random. Good job on crafting a solid entry.

tikikala 2018-04-24 22:52

i think the only thing stopping me progress is how do i deal with fire

sundancekid 2018-04-25 17:28

@tikikala unfortunately fire is the only thing in the game you don't have control over, but usually fires will go out pretty quickly. :)

fazz 2018-04-25 21:37

This is definitely the most unusual game I've played so far, well done!

drludos 2018-04-26 23:45

A very unique take on the theme, I love it! The game is quite challenging, it took me a lot of tries before being able to grow a very large tree. The fire is annoying, but the chainsaw machine are even more deadly!

I love the humor of the game too. Congrats on this relaxing yet challenging entry!

jezzamon 2018-05-15 06:23

haha this is fun, the drilling machine was a good surprise
