With intense music and a variety of abilities for the trees, I was drawn in to making my forest last as long as possible. I am a big fan of any kind of strategy or survival game and this one was pleasing to play. However, at 1x speed, I was getting a little bored so I bumped it up a little faster and then moved to 10x. At this rate, I was unable to keep up but it added quite a bit of stress and excitement to the game. Overall an enjoyable little strategy game.
I really like that this has dynamic systems, it really captures the notion that the forest is alive and has a "messy" ecosystem, much like the real world. Because of this, however, it can be difficult to judge how well you are doing which I found more stressful than enjoyable. I would almost like to see a version of this that allows you to grow and tend to a forest in a dynamic way with less emphasis on direct threats. Overall this was a really sweet entry and it's really cool to see what you did in such a short amount of time, keep up the good work! :D
