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.

such a nice style
I'm such a sucker for such stylized art, absolutely adore it!! So well polished too :D Loved the animations, simple yet effective (tbh loved the bouncing/swaying houses lool)
HUGE thanks! The animation was done by someone who opened such a tool in Photoshop for the first time in their life. Everyone had their doubts, but I'm sincerely glad you liked it :D
It's always fun to play as the villain and I had fun playing this! The art all worked really well together and was altogether good quality. A good use of the scaling theme. A well polished entry, well done!
The little sprout of evil just restores justice :D
Love the art style. Cool, dark and slightly gory aesthetics. Could use some variation in terms of gameplay.
we'll surely work on it!<3
I love it, idk why but it got me super invested, I was sad when i won 😂
After you win, you can restart the game and enter endless mode. Not a bug, but a feature!
Cool! I'll have to play it again
Few things I love more than becoming an unstoppable horror. Good stuff!
thank you, Mr. Beaver! promise not to chew our little tree!<3
Your tree is a friend, no matter how they look! We CAN offer the tree a house, although it might end up like Gillean Goldfish (bad times)
Plays well, feels polished. Overall, great experience. Just took me a moment to understand
thank you! we will work on the clarity of the tutorial~
Havent seen a tree this evil since AKU! Well done on the game! Really well polished!
Extra thicc!
Really enjoyed this game. I loved the art, color palette, humorous sound effects. It reminded me of Audry 2 in Little Shop of Horrors, which had me leaning into this game with a dark humor point of view. Overall a really fun game!
thank you<3 we are fans of your art style
It is very visually stunning, maybe there could have been some more challenge in between the growth stages, and it felt like the fat people should have given more points than the frogs
haha yes, rich people will cost more in the fix
Really loved this one! Amazing job with design, music and atmosphere!
thank you<3
Loved the art style! very creative and fun to play :)
Just wonderfully silly. I love me some good nature vs man... or carnivorous tree vs village, I suppose. This is super creative, addictive, and fun! I especially love the sound design, both music and sfx-wise; it adds so much to the atmosphere. I didn't get to see the ending sadly, because I accidentally clicked through it, but I really enjoyed this (:!
thank you! <3 don't worry, the nature kinda triumphs over man in both of our endings~
Loved the art and colors! One of my favourites so far
we were VERY lucky to find our amazing artist<3
Wow this game was so fun to play and the idea is so creative
just as yours! <3
Great animations, squishing people with the roots feels very satisfying in an evil way :)
ah, the timeless joy of evil...
I liked to play this one :D
I like the eyes pop out when making a combo. Nice theme and cool game!
thank youuuuu the otter king!
Such a cool game! The concept is great and the execution is even better! I kind of wish your growth was more gradual instead of being by levels, but it was still really fun and cool!
thank you! your game is the cutest~
