Tree Ya Later!
Slowly defend yourself from an intruding lumberjack as a tree!
Grow your branches and roots to attack the lumberjack through a variety of means!
Explore this simulated little world and earn achievements to demonstrate your mastery of life as a tree!
Listen to the rain! Groove to some music! Experience time go by! Prune your branches into a funny shape! Commit homicide!
CONTROLS are clicking branches to select them and clicking the button in the top right corner to select an effect mode. Also, use the left and right arrow keys to move the camera.
As a start, I suggest DECAYing a branch while the lumberjack is underneath to drop it on his head and injure him!
DO NOTE that in testing I encountered an issue where running the game for a very long time would eventually cause the browser to glitch and slow down. If this happens, I simply recommend restarting your browser and/or refreshing the page.

Thanks for checking out my game! It was somewhat of an ambitious idea (especially having been made with p5.js), but I did what I could.
Achievement guide:
1. Timber! - Decay a branch so that it and its children branches fall to the ground while the lumberjack is underneath.
2. One in a million - Grow your branches so that one goes above the screen, then wait for it to start raining.
3. Not the bees! - Decay a branch more than halfway, but NOT so much that it falls down. Then simply wait and bees will eventually arrive. Entirely cosmetic.
4. Rooting for the other side - Unfortunately, because of the time constraints of the jam, the lumberjack's AI was cut and he is no longer able to build his house, making this unobtainable. Sorry!
5. I'm cracking up - Grow your roots so that the end of a root intersects with the lumberjack's house, then unselect it and wait. You should see the house start to get shorter.
