Is this future (in your game) possible?
Not in a literal sense, but in a poetic sense, yes.

The concept reminds me of the story of how the Algerian military (if I'm not mistaken) once dropped seeds over the desert like bombs. The seeds took root, but they were all the same species of tree, and they ended up dying not long after they grew.

I loved the gameplay - especially the part where you recruit people to help you. And throwing grenades to grow trees is rather satisfying and magical!

Yeah, seed bombs was something I had in the back of my mind for this.
Thanks for playing!

Interesting take, seems a bit strange to have rewilding guns sounding like...real killing-people guns?

There might be some poetic and fun concept to dig there, like adding a win/loose condition.

Congrats on the jam!

Thanks for playing! Yeah, I think the obvious win/lose idea is that the player is against the clock and needs to rewild a certain amount in that time.  🤷

Notes from gameplay:

  • Install is taking FOREVER...
  • Oof, need visual c++ redistributable as well...
  • Pretty splash page!
  • Flowers are pretty
  • Nice use of similar low poly graphics across the game, creates a cohesive image
  • These NPCs are wild, one grew a giant tree!
  • Reload takes quite a long time
  • How do I grow a treeeeeeee
  • Aha, tree grenade!
  • Movement feels fluid
  • Lighting is awesome, I love how the trees cast shadows!
  • Aww, I'm out of treenades :(
  • I fund a random gun on the ground? I rewilded it and now it's a green gun!
  • Ran out of ammo. Ran around until the F button prompt showed up, but not sure why it did, doesn't seem like there was anything on the ground

Interesting take on the jam theme. I liked the humor in the text!

lmao "in a poetic sense, yes"

best title in the jam, hands down! also turned my PC into a rocketship but that might be a me problem

Developer(+1)

Ha! Thanks 😀. Not a you problem - I forgot to change all the default graphic settings. I think everything is set really high.
