Branch Out

Branch Out is a game all about… branching out! Your goal is to expand your tree and keep it alive. Build branches and roots to obtain resources. Then, use those resources to build more and get upgrades.

Instructions

• Start by building some simple roots. Roots collect water and nutrients. Nutrients are essential for building more in the future.
• Add some branches up top. Sunlight can be used for upgrades.
• Get upgrades! The bugs can become a problem. You don’t want them hanging around.
• Get even bigger. There is nothing stopping you. Only rule, stay alive!

Resources

The three resources are water, nutrient, and sun. If any three of these reach 0 your tree will start to die. Be extra careful with nutrient, it is essential to expand and it is impossible to obtain it again if you run out.

Building

To start building roots or branches, press the build button located on the top of the screen. Then, use your mouse to select a starting location. This location must be on the tree. Next, pick an ending location. This location will be the point the branch will grow out to. If the line is red, it can not be built. The amount of nutrient required to build is shown next to your cursor.

Note: Branches can’t go down and roots can’t go up. Also, they can not cross.
