The idea is really original, but I think it would be nice if you gave the player a bit more guidance because I was a bit lost at first :) Otherwise this is a really cute game, and I love the music.

A nice take on the theme, and I liked how the screen got darker as you went down. Good job on the music too!
Decent idea and nice art, but I didn't really understand what I was trying to achieve. It ended up feeling like a game of connect the dots but that doesn't make a nice picture at the end :stuck_out_tongue: I'd have liked a bit more help to understand what my aim is and how to play. Nice work, though
The music is great. One root may be more challenging and smooth(no need to repeat clicking ). Really relaxing game.
Lost as well. I got a nice ray of brown spots but nothing seems to happen. Restarting I could scroll the view and see water spots. But the roots didn't seem to 'grow'
I like the roots that light up the dark section when you get lower down, so you have to explore for the water.
Very interesting take on the theme. The music and sound effects are good!
I like the design and music. It's sometimes hard to see underground though, maybe you could add a bit more light.
It took me some time to realize that it was possible to end a root somewhere else than in water. So I was stuck for a moment when the game becomes darker (I was not able to see any water).
I think the idea could give a really nice relaxing game with a bit more water available.
Very nice and relaxing game, well done tough the concept isn't very clear at first! But sometimes the sprites don't show correctly, it sad because the graphics are good :(
Really like the concept of the game. As you said one thing I think you can improve is the generation of the water spots. But overall well done =D
Nice idea, but water is sometimes not visible on the starting screen. Who knew that you would need to scroll)

I'm really mesmerized by the game. Nice work!
Very interesting premise that is a solid fit for the theme - it does get very tricky seeing your 'nodes' as you get further and further down, but I was playing the WebGL build and you'd already warned me about that in the description, so can't complain too much
@mdotedot probably you play a version game with bug on itch.io. Im fix it now and you play try again, or download PC version from google drive
@mrnyarlathotep this bug is ready fixed, you can try again and see my PERFECT root generation)
Very relaxing game with nice concept. Had this root rendering bug on WebGL build. Was fun to play, though
Interesting game, nice concept. Finding water was a bit hard sometimes. Nice work!
Cool game! It fits the theme and becomes difficult once there is a darkness.
One of not many games tbh that really did go along the theme :laughing: Loved the meditative gameplay :heart:
I was first worried when I could not see more water, but when I realized that your roots light the area around them it became nice water hunting game. Cool idea.
