Photoresynthesis

This is a solo project for Mini Jam 131, and my first submission for a game jam.

In this game you use limited energy to grow a plant towards the sun, through a randomly generated maze.

Use right click to switch between a leaf stem and a normal stem, and left click to place.

Placing a normal stem consumes 1 energy, while placing one with a leaf consumes 3.  The stem will wither and cease to grow if it is too far from a leaf or the pot. Whenever your plant dies, its remains fall back into the pot and absorbs into the soil, providing more energy based on the level of each stem segment, allowing you to begin again as an even mightier plant.

This is my first game made for a game jam, and it is a bit unpolished. The bulk of the work was creating the algorithm for the maze that randomly generates.

Again, the maze is randomly generated so it will be different (but completable) every time you load the game. Try it a few times if you enjoy it!

Update 1.1 - May 5, 2023:
A flower has been added upon reaching the sun which sticks to your plant.
Added sound effects and music.
Changed the maze to be taller, and therefor take longer.

Have fun!
