i want to be a tree (but life has other ideas)
A short game about climbing and putting leaves back on trees (or not)
(please have sound on)
(also web build doesn't seem very stable.. if anything looks shaky try download instead!)
a few notes:
there is no goal. when you're ready, hold still for a few seconds to sing a song.
if you're confused about how to play, spam keys (or buttons on controller) to ask for help.
controller makes it easier. but it's also ok to suck at this.

this is beautiful, ian :') it's pretty amazing how moving it is to just amble around. it's like a heartfelt GIRP haha which is an amazing thing!! just gathering leaves in my basket, swishing around on screen, it all just feels very tactile and delicate and additive into something that feels so sweet, and quiet, and meaningful. and the ending!! just lovely -- grateful for a new ian game!!! :))
(ps congrats on the amaze nomination!!!!!!!!!!!!)
yayy grateful for a joey comment!! wasn't so confident about many decisions but happy to hear they make sense to some :)
So beautiful! I like to collect as much as I can and climb to the top and let myself fall down all the leaves come out lol. I love it!
im glad! i also did that way too much when half of the game werent even made..
