Arboreas by MysteriousBaboon

[raw]
made by MysteriousBaboon for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

You have to defend the forest against an epidemic.

You can left click to cut a tree to prevent the propagation of the disease Or you can Right click to heal each tree once.

You can move your camera using WASD or putting your mouse on the sides of the screen. You can Zoom/Unzoom with the mouse wheel.

Every tile has it's own fertility.

It was the first game jam in a while, and was kinda rough but so much fun ! So i hope you have fun with our game and send us some feedbacks ! And don't hesitate to send your high score.background3.png

Really cool concept. The only issue I had was that often times, I would click on the tree to the right (and often down-right) to the tree I though I clicked on. Good work!

Interesting idea, although (maybe I was playing it wrong) it did just devolve into a lot of chopping trees down due to how fast the infection spreads. I couldn't apply much strategy to it :P

Yeah, maybe the disease is a bit too virulent, we thought that if it wasn't the game would be too long, anyway thanks for the feedback !

Cool game,great example how social distancing works. A bit sad that all of the trees die at the end.

Really interesting concept and gameplay idea that got a lot more intense than I thought it would.

Also bonus points for the pixel art!

The best way to stop the disease from spreading is to destroy all trees, prove me wrong.

Loved the concept, although found it a bit frustrating to not be able to select the dying trees due to blockage by healthy trees. ^_^

The gameplay idea is okay, but it is a bit difficult to see what is happening and why it happening. I like really like the game music. Overall is this an okay little jam game.

Nice game, relaxing music. Should have read the page before launching the game to learn about the right click. Indications about controls somewhere in the game could be nice to avoid that. Very cool!

The intro menu screen looks great! I like the idea and what you were trying to achieve, but I wasn't sure exactly what I was supposed to do. Is there a way to keep things going indefinitely or is it one of those "play until you die and go for the highest score" kind of things?

We decided that the game would end no matter what you do, so you have to match for the highest score

The idea is neat, I got over 11k score had full field of trees and they weren't really dying that fast. Keep up the good work!
