Sadly I have to say the same as the guys above, dead link for me too. But I'll check back in time and hope this is resolved as I really like the idea behind this game and it looks good and fun to play!

Nice game :smile: It's quite relaxing, I didn't tested it on my phone, but it seems perfectly adapted for it

Very nice game but kinda repetitive after a while. You should add different obstacles deeper in th ground :herb:

Love this minimalistic approach, the game is fun and relaxing, and the animation of the tree dying was really cool too! Very nice!

This is very sweet, I appreciate the minimalist graphics; there's something uncanny about this game that I can't place my finger on

I love the game!
It may be interesting to make the music evolve as the game go faster.

The music and the graphics at the beggining are so great ! Keep relax and slide, at first, ... after it becomes stressfull, because of the speed which increases. Other features / obstacles deeper could be good (reach water, ...)

The mood is awesome. Simple stuning graphics. The music fits well, sad to see you opted out of that. Fun game for a short game session. Thanks for the game.

Pretty simple but a nice ~aesthetic~ can compensate basically everything. Maybe speeding things up after a while would make it better tho. You can actually (at least in the browser) make the root go outside of the screen where it doesn't seem like there are any rocks so basically you can just go as far as you want.
That being said, good job!

My favorite part was when you loose! The tree's destruction was so beautiful and sad!

Holy shit I just love this so much, the music gave me chills, the concept is just beatiful and really well executed.

If this was a full blown game with more content I'm sure I could play it for hours.

Awesome atmosphere, minimalistic graphics, I just love this dude, congratulations.

The sadness and beauty this communicates is just crazy, it's art.

Like the way the camera pans back up after you hit a rock. Nice little entry.

I'm really happy I played this game. Such a calming and beautiful game. I'm not sure how to win but the tree is so beautiful that I don't mind dying.
It's quite tricky to move sideways out of the way. The start graphics are stunning and set up the atmosphere and story so well. The music fits adds colour, I just wish i could have kept it alive for longer. Purhaps add distractions in the roots - nesting creature, bugs, bone etc. Your visuals are so beautiful that distractions would only add to the want to grow for longer. Thank you for a lovely game.

Aww, this is so beautiful and so addicting. I love the minimalistic aesthetics. And what a nice move not to include a score! That would only have distracted from the actual experience.
