Blossom by deepnight

[raw]
made by deepnight for LD 42 (JAM)

tree.gif

If everything is lost, try to plant a seed.

Please note that I made it in about 9h, and partially during a flight between Taipei and Paris. I posted it as a Jam entry because I did finish on Monday ;) So don’t expect much here:

  • no sound,
  • no music,
  • no proper ending.

So, you are a tree.

Try to escape pollution by growing away, planting seeds and pick magic stars to clean up some dirt.

  • LEFT CLICK near a tree to add branches (costs Energy),
  • branch ends will produce Energy slowly,
  • LEFT CLICK on a branch to add a Fruit that will make another tree,
  • RIGHT CLICK on a branch to remove it (you get some energy back if the branch isn’t dead)
  • you can scroll using left click drag’n’drop.

The concept is interesting and the gameplay work very well. It's really bad that got a lack of time to make it, but it still pretty good and clean ( as always with your work)

I don't really understand what's happening and why the red fog increase, even after I meeting the end wall :confused: But still enjoyable :smile:

What an interesting take on the theme. Even with no sound or music this was still and amazing game. Took me several tries but I was finally able to get to the end. I do hope you work on this post jam. Good Job!

Wow I did'nt realize being a tree could be such stressful ôô
It's a good theme interpretation, with a smart gameplay; I could not manage to get the 3 last stars, but I know I'll come back to it ;)
I really liked the mood and "meta" beyond the concept. Trees blossoms' are beautiful, they seems alive (and also dying). Just this magnifies the placeholders and we can imagine what you would have done with a few more hours of work :)
Greatgreatgreat, impressive as always.
Hope you're doing fine,
Cheers!

Cool game, although I was really unclear on when I could branch and when I could flower. I think maybe it was.. when a seed drops and plants, that one branches for a while, then flowers when it reaches the apex?

Either way, I got to the smiley face. Good job for such limited time, pretty as always, and hope things are going well in the hectic lifestyle. Congrats on dead cells steam launch.

Nice idea! I think after realizing the faster I was the easier it'll be for me I was able to get to the end. There was one part I thought I couldn't get any farther, but when I chopped off the branch it fell on the star and activated it so that was nice. I was always able to get my energy back by chopping off parts. Nice job for 9 hours!

When I watched the branch grow, I was enchanted. If you continue to develop this, when the red cloud covered the branches, I felt confused.

Frankly for 9 hours of work, it's very well done. Congratulations for the work done. The game is a little hot to complete but there is a challenge, it's great!
