The exe just wont start on my pc, probably its just me

linx 2020-04-20 20:53

Great atmosphere, UI and graphics, amazing game! To improve, it was hard to know what I should do when I entered the game, even with the intro and the text on the watch, maybe it's just me. Oh, and you should update the description!

Love the game concept of protecting the tree with a first-person tower defense like game. Epic atmosphere, great job! Love it.

pisito 2020-04-20 21:09

Love it !!!

Exe won't start on my Windows 7.

Great graphics and fun gameplay. I loved ui however it was realy hard to start playing even reading "help"

evert 2020-04-20 21:30

Won't run on macOS Catalina for me! (The application “Deep Root Mac” can’t be opened.) I'll come back and try again later :)

Really nice looking game, the sound is good and it plays well, though I failed to realize I could shoot enemies with the yellow grenade on the first play through. Also the green grenade I couldn´t switch too for some reason, but it could be my scroll wheel that is out of whack, hard to switch between the right grenade for me, another way of switching would make the game more accessible, though I could see the potential with a working scroll wheel. Some times their is a lack of deposits and you will lose with no fault of your own. on the other hand I like the detail with the radio and the sound it makes.

98rx7 2020-04-20 21:46

@bentekiller Hello!, really appreciate that! you can switch between the grenades using the number keys on your keyboard as for the green crystal you can shoot them with the yellow grenades! we gonna give a look at what you said about the deposits.

fever-dream-johnny 2020-04-20 21:51

@bentekiller We appreciate the feedback! Sorry the weedkiller thing wasn't too clear, the help screen and the PDA mention that the weedkiller deposits can be harvested using the pump tool. The switching can also be done using the number keys as well as the scroll wheel. Thank you for the feedback!

fever-dream-johnny 2020-04-20 21:51

@bigtinygames Sorry the game was too challenging! We were pressed for time when the jam came towards the end, so playtesting was a bit tough.

2020-04-20 21:52

good.

fever-dream-johnny 2020-04-20 21:52

@evert Thanks for letting us know evert, unfortunately our tests with mac were successful so we're not certain what's going on with your computer. Unity did take out some of the mac building options though, so it's possible we might not be able to build a version for you that will work without regressing our version of unity back, and it won't be possible in time. We really do apologize!

fever-dream-johnny 2020-04-20 21:54

@gord10ahmet Sorry the game doesn't run sir! The version of unity we use doesn't fully support Windows 7 anymore, but does work correctly on windows 10. It's also possible your issues may stem from your graphics card not being supported, but this will require further research.

fever-dream-johnny 2020-04-20 21:54

@pisito Thank you!

fever-dream-johnny 2020-04-20 21:54

@notredamstra We're really happy you enjoyed the atmosphere! It definitely needed a good deal of tweaking while we were developing the game.

fever-dream-johnny 2020-04-20 21:55

@linx Thank you so much for the feedback! Sorry the game is kinda difficult to get into, we thought the help screen and PDA would help, but what this game really needed was a proper tutorial. Maybe if we expand on this sometime we'll add one!

maxim218 2020-04-20 22:53

Wonderful graphics !!!

madhumster 2020-04-20 22:54

Great game. Music is amazing and shooting feels great.

turtlesoup 2020-04-20 22:56

I love how weird and yet totally understandable this game is. Great job

pumpkikin 2020-04-21 00:45

Fun and pretty game, it was a bit confusing what was going on though, as the tutorial messages left my screen quicker than i could read them.

anchoredtoad 2020-04-21 01:04

Super cool vibes from this game, that music is intense and the world is immersive.

gajop 2020-04-21 05:20

The game looks really good, nice job, but I wish there was more strategy to it. I was just mindlessly running around and tagging things and I still won.

brylamare 2020-04-21 06:25

Fun game, at one point I was no longer able to select the green grenade

macdoom 2020-04-21 07:28

Congratulations! The atmosphere and the sun making tree really made it for me. Excellent work!

homunculusgames 2020-04-21 07:46

Really well made game congrats! My favorite part is how good it feels to shoot the grinder!

elendow 2020-04-21 08:03

Very cool approach of the tower defense genre, there's little decision making because of the limited resources, but with a little balance it can improve a lot. Good job.

harry-alissavakis 2020-04-21 10:58

Ridiculously well-made and polished, art and atmosphere were awesome and the FPS controls were super tight! Amazing job!!

bionikmonster 2020-04-21 11:30

Hi! I first had trouble understanding what to do as I lost my first try. When I retried, I understood how I had to play in order to make the tree survive and great fun playing it!

solidhinken 2020-04-21 11:42

Cool concept and atmosphere felt like a wholesome game! Wasn't clear what to do with green ones though

florianduf 2020-04-21 12:33

Interesting concept,a lot of work... good job :)

takase 2020-04-21 13:44

very good game, I like the principle and the graphics!

mickgerritsen 2020-04-21 14:03

Nice game and especially the art in this limited time! It hits the mark on all the category for me, except for game design though. Because you have the different coloured resources and tools but you don't really do something interesting with grinding the resources. Balancing was also on the harder side I felt. But really, that is just nitpicky of me. Because this game looks and controls very good!

thebreakfast 2020-04-21 16:33

The music is awesome and the aesthetic and concept really reminds me of Deep Rock Galactic. The graphics are amazing! It definitely feels very satisfying shooting the gun. However my tree died before any enemies appeared for some reason. I'm not sure what caused it. My turrets weren't shooting even. Overall, very cool game!

mrleeperry 2020-04-21 20:00

Man, some really slick polish elements in there! The audio in particular was excellent, and I tip my hat to the modelers and UI skills for sure. Nice work!

curleysam 2020-04-21 21:46

Really well made, well done! The art style is 👌 and the aiming very accurate and satisfying. Got quite intense once the parasites got stronger! I liked the menus also :p nicely polished. Great atmosphere and lighting. Very good job to all involved!!!

trifectuh 2020-04-21 23:06

Nailing a long range shot to get that last pump going just before the water runs out is one of the best moments I've had in a game this jam. Really well done

keithdae 2020-04-22 12:48

Very polished game for a jam, everything works nicely and looks/feels great.

Had a bit of trouble on my first try with the secondary uses for pump/grinder but overall great job :thumbsup:

alex-adedge 2020-04-22 13:45

Very solid in all areas. Enjoyed the music! Movement and shooting were satisfying. The concept was very unique as well, I really liked how you have this central tree and youre basically shooting machines to make pipes to harvest material? Idk who came up with that, but it worked well. I did keep losing though, and I wasnt overly sure what for, Im not sure if the trees health is shown anywhere but if it was I missed it. Likewise having some kind of warning alarm or sfx for creatures attacking the tree would have been handy in conveying you were being attacked + the intensity of how screwed you were. Maybe some ranged enemies as well! But great stuff, one of the strongest entries Ive played so far.

owlkward 2020-04-29 18:17

Sadly couldn't get it to run with wine on Linux (i can start it and the music plays but everything's black) and I don't have Windows or Mac.

jmad 2020-05-09 12:51

Interesting take of the tower defense / FPS! Impressive polishness for 72h.
