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.

The art is really good and loved the grace hitbox so you don't have to perfectly hit every object. The game scales very well! Congrats on completing it in under 48 hours!
Thank you<3 It was a challenge indeed
The art is very impressive or 2 days! I thought the gameplay got fairly repetitive as the game progressed, however. It never really felt like I was in danger of losing. Congrats on submitting!
Really well-crafted setting. I love the eldritch feel that this game has. I found it a bit challenging to see where my roots were ending up as I got bigger, which I imagine is an intended part of the scale challenge. Nice work!
Everything is not a bug but a feature if you squint <3
I love the visual design of the character and the music of the game.
great visual design, very artsy!!
thank you<3
I love the visual design of the game, and it's impressive for two days. I do wish there was some more content that varied up the gameplay... I think enemies that you need to avoid, or eventually being able to eat the houses would do a lot for the game. I wasn't quite sure how hunger or combos worked, but I never felt like I was close to losing. I was getting a little bored halfway through the final section. It's a good chunk of criticism, but I do love the idea and the aesthetic. Great job, this is a cool game!
thank you!<3 we will take everything into consideration and add features after the jam <3
The art is fantastic, and I can see the tremendous effort that went into it. The IP is undeniably strong as a product. I was hoping for a bit more in terms of progression, but overall, it’s a solid achievement. Great job!
thank you<3 our artist did all the work ALONE working non-stop. she's a real hero
Ima big tree!
I found it was pretty much impossible to catch the witnesses because they ran so fast, but there also didn't seem to be any consequence for letting them get away?
Without going into details: the more witnesses, the fewer people there are for the harvest :D
Such a cool game i love the music and the art style
That game is so polished, I love the art, you can really feel the sense of scale, I love it :D
Love the art and music! Very creative concept too!
Really dig (haha) the art style, nice and gory. The music was also great.
we totally dig it too <3
fun idea with great art!
thank you<3 loved your game
Very cool design on the tree. The hot pink was a nice look and it was cool to watch my tree grow each time until it was this massive monstrosity with eyes all over the place.
thank you<3
Cool game!
Gorgeous artstyle and addicting gameplay loop. I like the yells when you capture the guys, haha.
HA-HA-HARVEST
reminded me of plants vs zombies! sound design and music could have done with some variation but really cool otherwise! xx
thank you!~ it was done in a rush, we will work on it~
I loved the art, though the game became a bit tedious in the beggining as you can only shoot one root each time
It's built to scale^)
Great visuals and cool take on the theme.
The hit boxes acted a bit strange sometimes, but that's my only issue.
Great game overall, congrats!
thank you! we will work on every feedback~
Took some time to discover multipliers, then it was super fun!
