Blossom by deepnight
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.

with proper music and sfx it will make a great game :)
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.
