Very relaxing game. At the start it's a lot of waiting for the roots to grow, but later on when you have multiple roots you need the 10 seconds to manage all ends. Maybe speed up the start a little bit so you don't have to wait.
Very relaxing. I admit, I think it started a little slow when you only have one root end. But once I started managing 4+ root ends at once, it felt much more involving and interesting. Great game! Screenshot 2022-10-04 130544.png
Fun relaxing game! I agree with the others that the start is a bit slow, but after you get more to manage it's pretty fun to think forward about how to lay the roots! I enjoyed playing it!
Well done!
unknown.png Very unusual strategy! But I have a bug - if I press the spacebar - the timer automatically fills up to the maximum.
It's truly relaxing and promissing. I can imagine a game with an entire garden full of different plants and this type of root management! Goog job.
It started off pretty slow and I was thinking ah I'll just give it a minute or two and rate but before I knew it I had a whole tree and many tangled roots. Nice job with this entry! It was surprisingly addictive!Screenshot 2022-10-05 074254.png
Agreed with the other comments, the main issue I have is at the start when you only have one end and at the end when you've only got one/two left. There's not much to do when that's happening.
Other than that, not much to say. A nice relaxing time.
Lovely, relaxing game amidst other fast paced entries.
Well done.
It does what it says in the name, it's a relaxing game! I agree with the others, it starts a bit slow, but after a while it picks up. The music is really nice.
The game starts slow but gets chaotic very quickly lol, tried going for an optimal path so I can survive for long, but you can only survive for too long. the game is quite relaxing indeex, I like the woosh sounds in the music that appear from time to time, also I think with some more mechanics and a bit more polishing this game has a good potential! nice work
Great concept! Would love to have a score at the end based on the length of the roots and amount of branching. While the start is a bit slow, it gets quite challenging later on.
This is a fun idea. I like exploring it as a "toy," and it's interesting that folks turn it into a "game" by adding goals (make the biggest tree!). Ten seconds feels like a long time, and I wonder if more variation in the music would be a nice reward to the player who stays longer.
wow... interesting idea.. at start it is slow, but with more roots it picks up.. really nice and relaxing game.. cool music
would make a really nice desktop/study pet if it was a bit slower and maybe deeper bet less wide, you could grow some huge root systems and big plants.
How the root grows is very well displayed visually, and I do feel relaxed with the music and graphics. The beginning of the game may be a little slow as you only need to control one branch. Soon we have to manage 4-6 branches in a hurry. When I see a large and complex system forming and multiplying, I guess that may be what the developer wants! img.png
Neat mechanism, it hooked me early on despite what felt like a long wait between turns (10 sec) at first, though obviously much shorter later on. I would love to see this expanded with more features/goals.
Most innovative game yet. A bit difficult with mousepad, would like to control the roots with arrow keys and space.
