Ah, level 3 is pretty challenging. I thought this was a pretty clever and well thought-out concept for a game!

Good pun and concept! Its a little bit like an escort mission but for the tree root!

Hi!

The mechanic is interesting, although I wish the tutorial had been a little more beginner-friendly!

Best!

My mom always said that I'm special :)

Digging a tunnel so the roots can follow your path is a neat way to tie the worm and the tree together, and the storm countdown adds good pressure. A tiny hint about which tiles are safe versus the gray rocks would help new players.

Thanks! Readability is the key, got it

The wordplay with "Warm" and "Worm" is pure genius! Very creative concept. I liked digging to the roots, but the second level is too confusing and I got stuck. It needs a bit more tutorial. Good job anyway!

Thank you for playing! I'll try to make my rules clearer next time)
