Growth by Flaid

[raw]
made by Flaid for LD31 (COMPO)
You are a plant cell that must collect sunlight to sustain your chloroplast levels.

I wanted to do something with perspective, so as you score, you "level up", which zooms the camera out and causes the cell to grow. Since there's no background, it doesn't really make any sense. The only enemy is time.

I'm not sure how they want us to include source, so here is my awful source: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fvtrdlxykodqtu2/Growth.zip?dl=0

That darn cell gets moving too darn fast after awhile and I can't get it to the chloroplasts!! SPEED GATHER!

Stuff I like you could improve: You can run off the screen, I ended up losing my character that way the first time. The hit detection range on the chloroplasts makes it tricky to pick them unless you are exactly on top of them. I was moving so fast I had difficulty controlling myself.

This was a nice little entry! :)

Became too fast to pick up the sunlight. Liked the concept, though! The game really needs some kind of background to show the size. That white background made me realize how dirty my screen is. ;)

best score 680. Really weird that the difficult rely on your excessive speed.
You should have take tim to draw some backgruond so we can enjoy the zoom effect.
