The Last Tree by Team Wala
How to play
Collect water and refine it at the ship by clicking auto craft and then use it on the plant. Similarly you have to collect metal and sand and click auto craft to create fencing and glass casing to use it on the plant. Every 1 min you get a crystal from the tree which you need to craft at the ship which can be used to either heal the plant, upgrade bot which actually unlocks one inventory or upgrade ship which unlocks another crafting block so that you can craft 2 items at once. Also click at the animals to shoo them away as they attack your plant or the fencing. Your goal is to keep the plant alive.
Story
Once upon a time in a galaxy unknown there lived a peaceful and advanced species that lived a beautiful life.
Don't worry the species still exist but the youngest son of the leaders family (we call him the "Tin Can") idiotically crashed his ship on an unknown planet.
The life source which powers the ship among everything else on the planet including the species themselves are a crystallized fruit (aka crystals) that grows on their sacred trees.
Tin Can had run out of the crystals but he still had the plant on the hip which if it grows can give him the crystals he needs. So his only mission now is to " Keep it alive" so that he can repair the ship and fly away!!
Tasks:
- Find water source and purify it
- Find metal to craft a fencing to keep animals away from the plant
- Find sand to craft a glass casing to prevent in from the unstable environment of the planet.
That's it! Now go do your bit an keep the damn plant alive!!

@kupnu4 Thanks for your review. Will check the FPS issue. It's most likely due to HDRP pipeline.
Sorry about the fps issue. Tried HDRP pipeline with this. Also, there is some motion blur which we could not fix and hence takes time to focus on the UI.
Thank you for playing our game and the valuable feedback. Hopefully my reply helps and you are able to enjoy the game. :)
The UI could have been rescaled to prevent blurry fonts (There are ways to do that, unity's 3d UI doesn't work too great out of the box :slight_frown: ), the camera movement was a bit on the slow side, and the one main criticism I have is on the very unreliable player movement, being force-based instead of linear velocity which makes reaching resource nodes frustrating.
I managed to make the plant survive. It becomes quite easy once you've grabbed the bot upgrades (which should cost more than one seed, too strong!), but all in all I had a lot of fun playing this! Well done!
The main gameloop is great and fun. Maybe too much enemies attacking the plant, but it's still enjoyable and not really a problem when we have the fences.
However, the controls are really not enjoyable, and in fact they are the main source of frustration. The character take a long time to reach where we want, his slow turning speed make him drift and his high speed make him exceed the point where we want him to go.
Also I had a problem with the camera not following the character, so i wasn't realy enjoyable to move around the map, and make it even more difficult to find the needed resources.
Anyway, the game is still very good!
Good job!
