Trees Hate You

Experience the thrill that Trees Hate You offers

In the action platformer game Trees Hate You, you must navigate a dangerous jungle environment, teeming with angry trees, falling branches, and unexpected dangers. The game challenges the popular notion of "peaceful nature" by turning your surroundings into your worst enemy.

How to Play Trees Hate You

Basic controls in the game

• Movement: To move, use the left analog stick or the WASD keys.
• Interaction: To read signs or interact with items, press the E key.
• Hint system: If you're having trouble, press the Tab key to "check the trees." This is a calculated prank that can cause more problems than it solves!
• Perspective/Other: Because the game uses a fixed or semi-fixed perspective, timing and position are more important than precise aiming.

Character creation is added at the beginning of the expanded demo, allowing you to personalize your hiker (appearance, possibly with some minor stats affecting shame). Choose a fun look because your character will still be fooled.

Learn Movement and Timing

Most of your actions will revolve around running and jumping. Practice timing your jumps carefully, especially when avoiding falling branches or shifting terrain.

Tips for Surviving in the Forest

If you're venturing into Trees Hate You, a few strategies can help you last longer:

• Never forget to anticipate surprises. Stay observant and prepare to react quickly.
• Momentum is crucial, but careless movement can put you in danger. Balance alertness and speed.
• You'll learn something new after each playthrough. Consider the reasons behind your most recent loss and adjust your strategy accordingly.
