5 stars of enjoyment for our Root Brother!
I was very intrigued that you could extend roots from any node!! Thats a cool engineering aspect in terms of code!! I very much enjoyed this game!! Style and graphics are left to be desired but thats a minor thing!! Played at https://twitch.tv/hedge_in <3 vod Day 4 @ 1:59:16
Great work, although I had to remove some originality evaluation for not being entirely original, as I saw a similar game for the Ludum dare jam (yours?).
I would still like to see something like this, but with more content and more exploration of the mechanics (eg. animals, rocks, etc.), But overall a very enjoyable game.
Not ours, hadn’t heard about it until now. Just searched for “Ludum Dare Jame Root” and found The Root from Ludum Dare 48. Very cool to see a similar take on a different theme. Thanks for the info and feedback!
I was thinking of: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/root-down But yeah.
Apparently there’s a whole universe we have tapped (root pun!) into that we didn’t realize existed.
Very cool concept. I think I was locked pretty quickly from proceeding, cause I couldn't find a further water source I could reach. However, that didn't detract from how original this game is. Nice work! :D
Satisfying and enjoyable game. Good work!
If there were more levels and more obstacles I'd keep on playing.
A really unique and enjoyable concept. I wonder if there's a version of this as a puzzle game with different obstacles each level.
