February 2024 Tree Game Jam for the Video Game Development Club at ASU

"If there are trees you aren't alone."
"I can't tell if this is supposed to be encouragement or an ominous warning."
"That's entirely up to the trees"

Life can be tough as a lumberjack and single father of eight daughters. Sometimes, the world seems too dangerous, and he spends countless nights worrying about his daughters' futures. That isn't made more easy when he hears word of a new entity called "the Sporax" that's going around infecting trees and attacking innocent villagers. Now, it's up to him to save the forest and kill the Sporax residing within.

Controls and Hints:

• Movement: WASD
• Jump: Spacebar
• Attack: Left Click
• Hit the Acorns for ranged damage! And kill the trees to advance to the next stage

The Ones to Blame:

Cami Lee - @CamsterDragon

• The SFX designer. All those squishes and haunting melodies are her fault.

Ian - @StorythreaderFox

• The combat coder. Upset at how difficult the game is? Blame him.

Jacob Kaufman-Warner

• The level designer. Are you bitter that there are two trees there instead of one? You know whose idea that was.

Joshua Day

• The background creator. Are the trees giving you nightmares? Good.

Sanchi Patel

• The sprite creator. I mean, let's be honest, all her stuff is super cute. Blame her for making you think this is a happy-go-lucky game instead of the nightmare it is.
