You should put it on mobile, I think it would do very well there. Making the plant connect when you change direction should be a priority if you are going to update this game.

One suggestion: it seems that you used key up event to change the direction, did you try with key down?

I suppose my only feedback is that I was on the side of the world and a plane spawned there and I died without a chance to react. Not a huge piece of feedback, but there it is, heh.

Why have two measures? If you added the height to the score at the end it might make it clearer what you're going for.\r\rBecause of the ambiguity, the water feels like just something I should avoid to not go faster, because going faster is bad because it makes you more likely to hit planes. But it's presented as a positive thing because it does feel good to go faster. So there's a design opposition between "feels good" and "is a better idea to do". If anything right now growing faster alleviates boredom, as there's really not much to the game if you don't go faster.\r\rSo I think there are some design things to think about in this game :)"},{"author_name":"cudabear","author_uid":"25773","time":"Dec 18, 2015 @ 6:27pm","epoch":1450462920,"text":"This was a great use of both themes! I'm not a big fan of the art, it would look nicer if the plant was one long contiguous thing. Also, it would be cool if the plant turned as you pressed A and D, not just when you let go! Besides that, I'm glad you made an android port of this because it would be a great time waster on the go.
