A very interesting and atmospheric game, especially because of how the root object was used. The core mechanic is really engaging, and the tree transformation effect is fantastic, even though the game felt a bit heavy at times. At first I thought it had frozen, but I guess it was just loading everything.

My only minor criticism is the music. It's relaxing, but it gets repetitive after a while. I think you could have found something more fitting for the overall experience.

That said, great work and congratulations on a really well-made game!

Very cool game! The game doesn't tell you really how to play it very well with the controls alone. For anyone confused, you select X - Green, Y - White, Z - Blue, and drag your mouse to push the nutrients along, you can change the size of what your pushing with the scroll wheel. You want to match the nutrients your feeding to the marked color under the saplings. I noticed when the tree on the top right grew, it was hard to see the nutrients down the root for the top left tree. Very cool concept and could be the start of a very interesting game!

Love the concept. But sadly I couldn't really figure out how to play but maybe that is just me.

Interesting idea here - reminded me of those little metal ball mazes that used to be a thing. I liked the idea as well of the music getting more elaborate as you grew trees, however I wasn't able to complete all the trees because I did ones closer to the camera earlier and then couldn't find a way to rotate the camera to see the ones in the back. That would be a helpful addition. Definitely a unique approach to the jam tho!
