Background

Your mole family was taken from you by an evil Oak Tree! He promises to return them to you if you plant his seeds, as he bestows upon you a tail made of his roots. Use your moley abilities to navigate between the dirt floor and the underground. 

Gameplay

You can walk freely underground, but your only form of navigation above ground is to launch yourself with your newfound root-tail! Use the provided mole holes to jump between ground layers. Remember, the tree doesn't like you stepping on his flower beds, so he will pull you towards him if you do!

Objective

Get the seed to the seed hole in each level to continue, and hopefully save your family! 

Controls

WASD - Move (when  underground) 

Space Bar - Move between ground layers at the designated holes 

Click & Drag - Slingshot yourself (when above ground)

R - to restart level

All in-game art and sound assets were made by our team within the 48 hours of allotted time for the jam (except for the backdrops of the opening and final scenes).
We had one brainstorming session before the start of the jam to come up with possible theme ideas.
