I was hooked! This game is simple but it makes you stay. Kinda reminds me of that one Tiktok filter. Nice Job!

Thanks! We tried to make a nice little addictive loop with enough upgrades to keep things fresh!

Pretty nifty game! I loved that procedurally generated levels. It's a bit RNG based IMO but aligns well with the theme.

Root Route

Thank you! It is rng based but the  further you go down the more water spawns so there's a bit more strategy. Even though in the final game you can just stay at the top and still be fine.

Absolutely loved this game, my favourite that I've played so far. Highly addictive. The game gets easier the higher you climb in the tree. I did find the rocks easy to avoid in most cases though so I didn't even get the rock nodes.


Very well done!

Thanks for playing! I do have to agree that the rocks could have played a bit more of a part as you can kind of ignore  them and still win.

Really cool idea, and pretty addictive, especially once you get almost as much energy back from picking up water as you use up.

Thanks! once you get to the end you do almost get an infinite build to regain the same if not more energy at all times.

This is a really nice game! A good take on the classic clicker genre. And I really dig the artstyle. Also a surprising amount of content for only 72 hrs

Thanks! We were inspired by a sticker tale for the art style using big white outlines for interactable things while using almost painted style for the background.

I agree strongly with the core message of this game, stay hydrated folks!

It is as important to a tree as it is to us, human beings. Stay hydrated!

Thanks! we through around the idea of not having a leaf counter in the corner but ended up thinking it was too hard to tell your leaf amount otherwise

Thanks! We tried making a good selection of upgrades for some different playstyles even.

Reply
LittleChaosGamesSubmitted1 day ago

Ah that’s cool! I didn’t think about different playstyles as much for my game. I do have different species you can choose in the beginning, but it only influences the dialogues. Maybe I should consider that as well for my next game/ iteration

Amazing submission. I had to make sure my tree was set up for success and played it until the end! It was super satisfying hitting those extra leaf from water upgrades!!! Great job on the game as a whole! Even the silly SFX haha.
