The whole forest is one tree, and it's asleep. Under the soil a glowing mycelium relays nutrients from root to root. Bury a nutrient, press Grow, and watch the network reach the next trunk. Every tree that wakes drops more nutrients, so growth funds growth. How far right can you carry the chain?

Made for Defold Game Jam 2026. Theme: Chain Reaction.

How to play:

• Drag glowing nutrients from the surface into the soil. While you drag, the soil the network can reach lights up.
• Press Grow. The mycelium reaches every nutrient in range and grows toward it.
• Touch the glowing root under a sleeping tree to wake it. It drops new nutrients.
• Missed? Unused nutrients fly back to the surface. No timer, no rush.

Nutrients: sugar reaches, woodchip shoots a line, calcium bursts, water widens the network's senses and softens dry sand.

Controls: mouse or touch. Esc or the PAUSE button pauses.

Use of AI: code and the implementation plan were written with help from Claude (Anthropic). A Gemini-generated image was used only as a mood reference and is not in the game.
