The 2 POV's mechanic is what stood up the most for me, really creative mechanic... it's like a co-op game with yourself.

Made it to the Leap of Faith (I don't know if that's far or not lmao) and my lack of skill didn't allow me to keep going.

Really good job as a solo dev, and I liked the dev notes you left in the game page :)

This gotta be the most creative one I've play so far in this jam, that's for sure.  I think it's quite hard to orientate myself while in the root mode (specially since I'm colorblind and can barely differentiate walls that the root can move in and those where it can not). Apart from that, it's dead simple and truly creative.

Pretty fun, although that was limited by the fact that the root can only go forward (just the possibility to go backwards would have been great), and there wasn't really a clear path to follow (although that may have been intended, and it didn't really ruin the game anyways). Other than that, it was good!

Not going to lie I was super confused, does it have any objective or currently is just a walking tree simulator? The idea is quite cool, with so little time it could be a bit impossible to do much more features, great work!

Quite a fun idea! The control of the root is rather difficult at first, but you get used to it. I still wish there was some way to run the root on the surface, so that you could clearly see where it is.
