A'lright, this definitely is an original experience, starting from "remember your Twich login" and ending with the very game. The idea is amazing, reminds me of reddit's "The Button".

You succeed to create an online game with pleasing graphics and made it interesting to play both alone and in company. And all of that in 72 hours. Quite an achievement! 10/10, will play again!

Won't trolls just cut all the trees down and end the experience early?

This is a very cool thing. Awesome concept and it works really well. I've seen a few twitch-enabled games this LD but nothing like this.

@cheesepencil we have a few trolls that constantly cutting down trees but there aren't many. As long as we have people who constantly plant and irrigate trees we'll be fine ;)

@yngvarr thanks! This jam felt like the first LD we took part seven years ago. We made our first game and always tried to bring unique and innovative since then :)

@clevertop it's an upside-down version of the Russian word «картошка» which translates to «potato» :)

Lovely concept, it's really unique and relaxing. Showing the profile picture of who typed the command on the bots is a really nice touch too. Well done!

This is "zenxperience" to watch this stream. Great idea and really cool implementation. Graphics and sound is mesmerising.

Hey, if you turn it back on, can you ping me? I'd love to give it a try, sounds like a unique experience! You'll probably need to turn it on again to get the last fraction of a vote needed to reach 20.

Cool little creation, I was surprised to find multiple people online, and your audience is well deserved, the game is really neat! I like that you can buffer heaps of commands then just keep the game in the background. I also really like the music, nice background ambience! Overall the game was very relaxing, great for multi tasking. Congrats! :heart:

In case anyone's wondering about the status of this - it didn't die! In fact it's still going. (I've been keeping on top of when the bot and the stream have gone down and been notifying the devs when it happens.)

As of right now there are just over 32 days left to go until the game ends at midnight GMT on March 21st, 2021. If you're interested, come check it out!
