Trees Hate You (demo)
You just had a picnic in the woods and now it's time to go home. It's just a short hike, and there's nothing in your path except a bunch of trees...should be fine, right?
Works with a controller (left stick) or a keyboard (WASD or arrow keys).
Update: I recently revisited this project and plan to expand it into a bigger game. So this game posted here is like a demo of things to come (Basically the first chapter, although I'll expand and polish it more for the full game)
You can wishlist the full game on Steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4171850/Trees_Hate_You
Please share any feedback either here or on my Discord server.
(Another note: Some people have been reporting low framerates on the web version. If that happens, it may work much better with a different web browser or through the Itch.io app. Or you can try the downloadable version.)

THIS GAME WAS AMAZING... even with the trolling

Maybe deforestation is okay. 10/10

I'm often apprehensive about games designed for the sole purpose of making the player rage (mainly due to the doubt I have that I'll possess the skill required to actually progress in games like that), but this game looked really fun and I'm so glad I decided to play it.
The gameplay itself was very enjoyable, just the right amount of frustrating that doesn't fully ruin your mood, with checkpoints positioned in a way that felt far to travel to, but did not feel so far that respawning felt like an overwhelming punishment.
The art style is wonderful, very cute and playful, which I feel contrasts well with the rage-inducing intent of the gameplay. Couple the art style with the comedy the game provides (absurd, bizarre and somewhat slapstick in nature), and the experience feels very balanced between frustration and humour; you can enjoy the game for its properties beyond just reaching that next checkpoint. I consider that to be a very well thought-out game design.
The character customisation was most certainly a welcome surprise, I always adore it when a game gives you the ability to design your own character.
Definitely looking forward to playing the full game when it releases :D
damn, what did that guy do to make the trees hate him so much?
I dont know. lets ask him!

This is my first time playing a rage game. I cant believe how much fun I had getting my ass kicked

Is this a troll game? It's fine if it is, but it really feels like a troll game.

My god, I am so glad I haven't seen this game before and I playing it was my first experience with it. Even though the name hints at it, for some reason I so did not expect THIS! This stuff actually made me laugh. Was not able to play it through atm, but I might come back to this

i have a love hate relationship w this game. overall very good ragebaiting game
sooo I kind of skipped the how to and don't know if there's a jump cause how do I get to the steps I just got jumped by trees 🌳 😅
Beat the game first try in about 15 minutes and because I managed to first try a lot of the hardest sections by basically per luck, I genuinely did not notice that when you died, new trees would spawn until I watched a play through of this game.
the tree who pulled out a 35 7 magnum i did'nt expect..5 stars
btw guys when u get the hat click tab >inventory > put no hat on > escape the tree that breaks ur hat > put the hat back on and you can get the hat till the end :D
If its already ragebaiting me, then who knows WHAT the full game will be?
