this is a really cool idea! i did struggle to find out the mechanics and possibilities at the start, perhaps the tutorial could be a bit clearer. the game itself is really cool and i love the atmosphere!
Play incredible experience

How does your game tie into the extra theme (optional)
You play as a tree and use your roots to move a piano !

I made my life pretty hard for myself by only using one tree/root at the start haha, got it figured out though. Such an out-of-pocket idea, but I love it, nice stuff!

A Murdery Fall MysteryYou had me at "You are a tree trying to move a piano". The house scene with the tiled roof and the colorful trees looks lovely. This was a fun mechanic with a great art style. Great solo effort!

Zero is HungryIt was certainly an innovative game. The piano bgm was probably created by the piano that had fallen (sorry for my terrible jokes)

MonkE ParkThanks you ! There is actually a lot of way to beat the second level, the intended way is to pull the piano from the window, but you could also get your left root to the right to get more force, or even just brute force it with one root up the stairs (the stairs apply vertical force on the piano, it give it the littles bounces you see).
But anyway, even with a puzzle game if you work with physics there is a lot of things you didn't think of, that actually work. And a physic game is also a cheat code for fun gameplay XD
I usually plan a lot for the music, but this time I just improvised on the piano, and am more proud of this than some other work I did XD
Thanks you again for playing !
I really loved the leaf design and colours, they are very beautiful. The music was very fall-like and made for a very cozy background while playing. The rest was quite a strange but amusing physics game. Nicely done!

Leaf and LearnHey Virtual Boo! Thank you so much for appreciating the music <3 I’ve indeed written the music for my team’s recent games. This was a particularly inspired session, perhaps I felt more nostalgic while recovering from a Covid infection, ahaha (I still am!) Anyway, I don’t know which is my favourite but perhaps one that didn’t get to the final game (you can listen to it as an extra on my soundcloud page, it’s called Landscape, people felt it was too heavy for the much needed cozyness). You were very kind to bring this up! Thanks again :)
I love how wacky this concept is! I did struggle with the controls a bit - couldn't figure out the level with two pianos where you had to get a piano onto the second floor with no stairs. Your lovely piano music helped keep me calm and cozy though, despite the chaos of my flailing root-limbs.
