Colored Roots by PlusMinus
Hi!
This time I wanted to make a simple casual game. So I made one. Without artist I prefer Paint art. So I used one.
Every level is possible, checked by hand.

If I have only one advice, you could have made a more detailled presentation for your game but it's fine, we are rating the game :D.
Also, sometimes the colors can be a little bit confusing.
The puzzles were very well made. They got to be very difficult by the end. The root generation was fun and satisfying as well.
While I did appreciate you adding commentary on the sides of the game, it did kind of through off the vibe a bit. Not a huge negative, I was just so immersed in the rest of the game that it kind of took my out of it.
Good work !
I also like the music.
Suggestion: the "Next" level button could be placed in better location. Now it's a bit too far from the game area and it feels awkward to me. I would show it somewhere in the center of the play area after level is finished.
Moving to the next level is a bit clunky, and I sometimes pressed reset instead of next :x
@pookipoot you don't have to grow root to the star. grow blue one a little bit and then grow other 2 colors over it to get purple and green
Mixing color is always a good gameplay mechanic and your roots concept work perfectly.
I see nothing to improve :wink:
The commentary-text also added a bit of personality to the game :)
Had a great time figuring out all the solutions!
