My submission to the Pirate Software Game Jam!
In this Tower Defense strategy game, players grow trees to capture land and generate resources while defending against spreading corruption. Defensive units, like wolves, and auxiliary structures, like mushrooms, can only be placed within reclaimed zones. Players must expand their territory, purify corruption zones, and ultimately close all enemy portals to win.

I was hooked on this game instantly so very well done! I wasn't a big tower defense person but oh boy I can see myself playing this for hours and trying to find the best way to manage this forest. The art is well done and the music was pleasant and would be cool to hear a whole soundtrack of the same vein while managing this little forest. it could be just be me but I couldn't see an active counter for spirit essence. I saw the forest health bar in the top left but if I didn't miss it seeing and knowing the number of essence I gathered can help with planning. Overall I really enjoyed this game and great work on your jam entry!
Simply a beautiful game, really great art and music!
Beautiful game with some really nicely thought out gameplay. Figuring out the building combos while spreading the forest is really fun, excellent work!
Nice ambiance and gameplay, well done :)
i dont like it ever singal time i get overweld by the enameys 5 days i play d and i die in 2 minats
I struggled a lot trying to balance it. Some people find clever strategies that almost break the game. Still tank you for playing, I appreciate it! :)
Fantastic, hooked me right after my first fail :D, wonderful art very similar to the Kingdom games which I absolutely love.
I'm the best at this game. Jokes aside I had a nice experience, failed a couple of times before getting the hang of it. Could benefit either from multiple levels, or a higher difficulty. It's a game i could come back to with those features.
Edit : spelling mistakes
This was all I could do in the span of this game jam. Maybe I’ll come back and release a patch once the jam is over with all the stuff I’ve learnt. Thank you for playing. :)
A truly relaxing game with a well-thought-out concept and excellent execution. The atmosphere and design create a soothing experience. Congrats on a job well done!
Thank you for your kind words. Truly means a lot :)
The game is pretty fun, and the music is just amazing.
Wow, the game hooked me!! A really cool idea to develop and I like the idea of mushrooms being both offensive and defensive (harvesting power for you)
I really like it, well done
This game is awesome! Great job!
Hi there! This game was really fun to play. I enjoyed it a lot. I especially though the wolves were a great thematic choice. I liked the sprite work a lot.
One feedback I have is that I found the font for the game instructions a bit hard to read!
Great work!
Pretty fun game, sorry i don't have much commentary. I like art and think this game has a lot of potential
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it :)
Fun game - I think you should add building placement obstruction though. I just stacked a million trees and used the blast ability to take out the portals and win. :)
