Description

A game for the Ludum Dare 29 Game Jam.

Theme: Beneath the Surface

Youโ€™ll only have ten minutes to plant your tree, grow roots, absorb resources, and expand above ground before winter gets here, so try and build the best tree you can!

How to Play

Place Trunk/Roots: Left Click
Place Leaves: Right Click

Earn a point for each block of wood you place, and two for each block of leaves.

Collect sunlight by placing leaves and absorb water and nutrients with your roots. But watch out: nutrients are limited and disappear when youโ€™ve exhausted them.

Wood blocks cost 30 sun, 30 water, and 20 nutrients. Leaf blocks cost 30 of everything.

I don't know about the idea of nutrients running out completely. Maybe the idea of random fungi and bacteria, renutrifying (yes I made that up) the soil. Or earthworms churning it to bring nutrients back or something. Cause the water seems like it should dry up, but it's always there.

Admittedly, regenerating nutrients was something we didn't think of until after the competition.

A reset button would be nice so you don't have to wait the ten minutes if your tree is not doing well.

I'd really like to expand the game in the future, and I definitely plan to do that. Life just sort of got in the way, and I can't really add that feature once the competition is over. Thanks for playing.
