cool game, I liked having to manage my orbs by running around to see which trees need them most :3 the art for the player character and dragon are really nice, would be cool to see what you could do with more time for environment art

What a cute idea to save the forest! I found it quite difficult, I was never fast enough, but I like the drawings and to throw glowing balls :)

Man, that's pretty difficult...! I wasn't a massive fan of the arc that the projectile takes when you launch it, but once I got used to it, it wasn't a problem, just a little unintuitive.

Simple visual style, but everything works well in unison and it's a pretty easy premise to get quickly, but that doesn't make it easy!

Good work! :smile:

The dragon looks so cool! It would have been nice to have some variation in the trees or the background so the levels don't feel quite as repetitive.

Got some really cool potential for art there! Would love to see it developed more.

I was a little confused at first but don't worry about that, I'm not very smart but I got the hang of it eventually and has a fun time, great stuff!

good entry! I like managing the power behind throwing, I wish there was a visual or audio que when I did it tho.

So sad that the death of the forest is inevitable D: Nicely polished, I really love the design of the main character and the forest spirit! Nice entry :)

Very cute little game. I thought the throwing felt a little odd, and i wasnt really sure when exactly the levels ended. Neat concept regardless, i like how the dragon looks
