How does your submission fit the Jam theme?
Place down artificial trees to connect the forest together. Chain reactions are required to solve the puzzle, as pulses connect trees to each other, forming safe chains between them towards ancient trees. As the keeper of the forest, the player's goal is to create enough connections to reach all three ancient trees.

(Look at our game page for more info on how to play. (It may take a while to understand the mechanics!)) :)

Really interesting premise. I got greedy a couple times and went too far away from my trees. The font is quite difficult to read, especially in an already garbled and dark game, and the tutorial prompts weren't the most accurate all the time. The sound effect for the trees connecting was very satisfying

This is super cool! How did you manage to get an online leaderboard working?

I'm just using a free online sql database (I use supabase cuz its free and im broke), and I read and write to it after every run.(tbh there's no security rn, and if someone knew what they were doing, they could prolly break it all😭) Thanks for playing far enough to see that part though!
