About the game:

In 'Botanica: Leaf or Die' you lead the last remnants of human kind. Earth is gone, and a desperate colony ship crash-lands on a new world. But it’s a harsh place! No sun, violent storms, and worst of all: the stranded Motherplant came with you.
This is an early prototype containing a short session, fast onboarding, focus on game feel, readability, core loops, and bug hunting.

What to expect in this prototype:

  • Top-down 2D gameplay (early build)
  • A quick session (10–20 min)
  • Early colony basics: resources, building, a small sense of progression
  • Exploration on a dark, unknown planet
  • Feedback focus: What feels good? What’s unclear? What’s missing?

After playing, we’d love:

  • 1–3 things you enjoyed
  • 1–3 things that felt frustrating/confusing
  • Bug reports (ideally with screenshot/video + steps)
  • Feature wishes: "I'd love to see …"

How to send feedback:

Prototype note:

  • Expect bugs and unfinished content
  • UI/UX, balancing, and systems will change frequently
  • Saves may be reset between builds

Thank you! 🙂 Every bit of feedback helps a lot.
