ZenTuree (pronounced a bit like century) is a game that combines quite literally "zen", "tree" and "century". Everything you need to play this game is a lot of patience and a green thumb.

Gameplay

The rules are pretty simple: 1. make sure that your tree has enough water. 2. don't overwater your tree. 3. be patient. 4. keep it alive ;-)

Tip: You can close the tab, your browser or even shutdown your computer - your tree will continue to grow (as long as it has enough water)

Keep in mind, that your tree is unique and needs about two years to fully grow. Can you keep it alive?

Technical stuff

You don't need an account. Details about your tree are stored locally (javascript local storage). If you reload the page, even if a long time has passed, the tree will show the correct state (as if it was "running" the entire time). Actually we just apply the missing time very quickly.

For Ludum Dare Testers

The normal game mode takes about two years for a full grown tree. To make things simpler there are two test game modes.

LD46 Mode

This is the recommended game mode for LD46 testers. A full grown tree takes about 2h and should be watered about every 15 to 30 minutes. Of course you don't have to stare at the tree for two hours. Make sure it has enough water, close the tab and try other games. Make sure to check in later to water the tree. - https://wischi-chr.github.io/ZenTuree/LD46/

Non-Zen-s Mode

For very unpatient players there is an even faster mode. A tree takes about a minute to fully grow. - https://wischi-chr.github.io/ZenTuree/FAST/
