Coexisting Worlds by PurpleApes
It is a sort of strategy game!
The goal is to grow a tree on the other side of the river!
It is finishable but can take time, or not?
It is not fully tested and not fully finished !
There is 3 kind of being:
1_the Trees
2_the Fungi
3_the birds
And 3 kinds of energies:
A_Tree Energie: each tree has is own reserve which increase automatically(tree need to me mature to use action and generate energie)
B_Fungi Energie: each fungi has is own reserve and need to be feed by trees to increase
C_CoEnergie: global energie depending of the number of fungi and tree connected
There is 7 actions in total:
_Grow fruit : require tree energie, and each tree can grow a limted number(2)
_Call bird: require an amount of Coenergie(selection of a fruit)
_Feed a fungi:no energie require, stop treeenergie regeneration and give energie to a fungi
_create connection: require fungi energie
_help tree: reqquire fungi energie and that the tree is connected , tree need to mature to use action( a purple circle appear when this happen and dissapear after tree is mature)
_create a fungi: require Coenergie
_send bird: require Coenergie, create a tree
We hope it is clear enough considering that there is not lots of indication during the game!
Comment on the jam:
First participation in ludum dare jam!
Obviously the game needs a lot of refining :D
Do not hesitate to comment and report bugs!
There is No Sound in the Game, we did not have time :(
Ps: This game is based on the mycorrhizae behavior;)
Edit: Thanks for the Comments So Far! They are very helpful for a future version of this game!

Keep the idea, and rethink the whole concept. Maybe you should use a grid system for planting :)
The controls and feedback definitely could use improvement. I reached the end screen, but I still don't feel like I understand exactly how everything worked. For example, I'm not sure when I'm allowed to connect a fungus to a tree. I understand that connections require FungiEnergie, but is there also a maximum of 3 connections allowed for each fungus? I suppose that's what you mean by "connection limited"? Tutorials and instructions are important!
I'm happy that you included a victory screen -- this is an example of GOOD feedback to the player!

It seems like it could be interesting after some polishing (what couldn't, though? ^^"), but so far somewhat unclear instructions with weird names, and my inability to establish apparent connection between the tree and the fungus caused me to quit. >.<
