Great artwork, even if a little bit inconsistent and unpolished in some areas. The music is simple and blends with the tone of the game well.

At least at one point in the game the enemies weren't dying when I touched them. On more than a few occasions the enemies seemed to spawn and get stuck in the walls. The UI definitely needed a bit of work to make aspects of it clearer for the user in both of terms of visibility and placement.\n\nOnce I got past a few of these things I was able to progress to about level three, though it was tricky with the unkillable enemies to make it that far.\n\nFor a first attempt it was a pretty solid game, you all did a good job and should be proud of that.","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Draconimous","author_uid":"1143903","time":"2020-04-23T18:57:27Z","epoch":1587668247,"modified":1587668247,"text":"wonderful.

Good job guys!\n\nThe killing enemies mechanic confused me a little bit, as some times they would die if I touched them, but other times they wouldn't? It seemed like for the most part the grey enemy needed to be ran into from the back and the green enemy need to be jumped on? Sometimes though they would die from other areas of running into or just not die.\n\nOverall though I enjoyed the game, congrats again!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Prof.Suarez","author_uid":"1186473","time":"2020-04-24T04:52:00Z","epoch":1587703920,"modified":1587703920,"text":"Cool idea, would be great if you could push the tree around too.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Grizley","author_uid":"1184800","time":"2020-04-24T08:43:42Z","epoch":1587717822,"modified":1587717822,"text":"it has a lot of bugs guys we are fixing it and will make a new version but will be keeping this one","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld46\/184798-9617f10ecb22594f5144a3c617dee8e8.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.newgrounds.com\/portal\/view\/753111","text":"Youtube"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"57178","g_author":"1113135","g_event":"LD46","g_eventkey":"77","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"266186","g_title":"Tree of Life","g_status":"PVT1","g_place":"1534","g_commentcount":"18","g_site2_node_id":"184798","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"184798","n_urlkey":"266186","n_parent":"176557","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/tree-of-life-2","n_slug":"tree-of-life-2","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"113135","n_created":"1586801224","n_modified":"1587717966","n_version":"629045","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":184798,"parent":176557,"superparent":9,"author":113135,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2020-04-21T01:33:13Z","created":"2020-04-13T18:07:04Z","modified":"2020-04-24T08:46:06Z","version":629045,"slug":"tree-of-life-2","name":"Tree of Life","body":"This is a game made by noonegy, Grizley, Noggi and Morcado.
