How does your game fit the theme?
We implemented it in a core loop of our game, helping a small sapling to grow into a big (and deadly) tree. As our carnivorous plant devours more and more people, it grows and its hunting ground scales, making the difficulcy scale as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed this game! Colors are awesome, gameplay is fun, music is groovy. One thing I'd change is the rate of enemies spawning in the later stages, because I had multiple roots I could use but nobody to use them on, so I was just waiting. Anyway, nice job!

Submitted

in love with the colour scheme! great work. Also you guys made it under 48 hours, oh boy! Kudos to everyone

Submitted

Awesome concept! Nice music and art. It would be cool to gain more attacks as you grow and for more enemy variety, but really well done in 48h. :D

Really enterteining game!

Submitted

great style, funny story, love the ui design, nice sound. the gameplay got a bit repetetive after the 3rd growth and there wasn't really any satisfatory ending, but overall I think it's very impressive for a 2 day game!!

Submitted

Loved the game! I like the setting!

I loved the gameplay. I would have liked to see more variety in what you can do. But for 48 hours, that’s really good.

I really enjoyed this game, the visuals vere really well done and the game loop was quite fun. I would like to have more than one screeming sound, to add some variability. I was able to get to the ending, however I have no idea which one, as I instantly clicked it away, while I was immersed in the game and did not notice that it is end, until the menu appeared :D
I admire that you did this game in 48 hours, good job!

Fun game! and impressive for 48 hours. If you add some variability on the vine lash and speed inital progression you have something very promising there. Well done!

What a game! Really satisfying to grab all those humans up, never got tired of their screams. I think the "spotting" mechanic was a little unclear, I never knew when one human would see another one being devoured, sometimes it had to be really close by, other times much further, it felt like. Really well done!

Quite fun. I liked the style of the game, as well as the lore. There were periods of time where nothing would pass into my range, which left for gaps in the gameplay. Otherwise, great work!

Developer

Hi! Thanks for playing! The gaps were probably caused by you alerting the preys and them scurrying away in fear <3 You have to be stealthy in this game
