Great game. I am sad I could not kill the tree.

Click the thing - number go up! Good execution of the genre.
To echo the sentiments of others, I'd have loved more things to be able to do, but I can certainly appreciate jam crunch and time restrictions.
The choice of mythos exposition via the avatars and chat popups was nice. The light effects were neat. The animations were pretty. I liked the "axe constellation" for the upgrades.
I liked it - well done.

Nature's LabyrinthI have to be honest and say for a 300MB download II was expecting more than a couple of screens unless I am missing something. I was really looking forward to playing this based on the thumbnail and felt a little more could of been done using the pixel art look. Please say if I missed anything and I will revisit but it seemed all I had to doo was click on the tree to earn credits and then buy an upgrade but as you say this is the point of the myth.

The Bell Rock LighthouseHey, thanks for playing my game! I appreciate the feedback. While the jam was 2 weeks long, I only had about 20 hours of time I could devote to working on the game so I had to keep the concept super tight. I mostly entered it as a test of what I had learned and could do without outside help/ tutorials in that time.
There's a tonne of depth I would have loved to add if I had more time; more skills, interactions (I had a concept for interactive animals and playing through the encounters that the narrative describes), locations, complexity (balancing the regeneration of the tree for example), things that would have allowed me to explore the concept of man vs his own nature. But I really had to dial that back to fit into 20 hours.
Fun game (a bit ripetitive, but…). I’ve mastered all of the stars :D
