Seedling by Spacefarmer
Keep your seedling alive by summoning the elements with Rain and Sun dances. The larger your tree grows the more followers you will get, the more followers the more fruit you will need to harvest at the end of the seasons. Leaves will appear once you have branches and they will turn into Fruit that can be harvested.
W- Rain dance
S- Sun dance
H- Harvest the red fruit

Then suddenly the tree grew, and I figured it worked afterall, called on the sun to test that.
Sun did nothing, so again I called rain. And then I lost the game. :(
I love the idea, It's got a populous sort of appeal, god game trying to get your groove on and grow a world tree type deal. But Yeah, feedback to players is important.
Otherwise, the concept is great. Good job.
I think despite just being outline blocks the graphics work perfectly for this game.
It would be interesting if you made a post-compo version with more elaborate follower sprites (and dances). However, I really like what you've done with the daytime and seasonal changes, and the rain cloud is great.
