This game is made in 72 hours for Ludum Dare 48 Game Jam. The theme is "Deeper and Deeper".

- How to Play -

  • The goal is to make your tree alive and grow.
  • Make sure your energy and water is above the daily use before clicking  Next Day button to survive. Generate Energy button will change your water and CO2 into energy. 
  • After certain days of survival, the tree will grow, which means you can get more CO2 everyday, and you have to use more water and energy to survive at the same time. The tree can grow four times in total.
  • You can root or root deeper at most three times everyday to improve your daily water get. Root button cost 1 energy, while Root Deeper button cost 2-3 energy depending on how far your root reaches, and the reward of Root Deeper is higher, as well as the its risk.
  • The weather is changing everyday randomly. In sunny days you get more CO2 and less water, while in rainy days you get more water and less CO2, and in cloudy days everything is just in-between. There's chance of forest fire in the sunny days, which will make your tree lose large amount of water.

- Post Jam Bugfixes - 

  • Now the roots image can show properly when maximized the roots. (Fixed on Apr 27, v1.0.2.1. Thanks @risk4bisk for bringing the issue to my attention).
  • Now the WebGL build's default resolution is changed into 540p to match the itch.io page layout. Please feel free to download the Windows build if you prefer 1080p and better sound quality. (Fixed on Apr 27, v1.0.2.2).
  • Add "How to Play" instruction on this page and in the Windows build zip file as readme.txt. Thank y'all for the feedbacks about it. (Added on May 3, without changing the game).
