Pros
- I really liked the fire shaders! Super awesome
- It is a very nice twist on the theme and some super cool mechanics!
- The concept is super simple and very well executed

Cons
- Nothing good came from connecting disconnected trees
- The UI might be so big as to obstruct the view
- Might need more time to really expand the forest

Suggestions
- Zoom out the camera as the forest gets bigger! Would both give much clearer progression and make it much cooler!
- Might be a lot of optimization work ;)
- Keep refining!

Pretty nice, although kinda boring, and completely silent.

The concept is pretty genuine, stopping forest fires via cutting off the main contact spot. I like it.

The game does feel rushed however, it was kind of hard to figure out where the infection is, and sometimes the roots didn't cut until i drew circles on them like i was the kid in "The Ring".

Too bat that you couldn't do more
It misses a music for sure it would add something great to the mood and the ambiance
overall the graphics are nice, the FX for the burning trees are really good
The gameplay feels not really responsive but with more signs and feedback it would be fine
nice entry
