Experience growth with a ball of marimo moss. Grow in water to the size of the goal rings and enter them to complete each level. We support the latest Firefox and Chrome browsers on platforms with WebGL. Thanks for playing!
Some notes:
- Only some levels have the option to split your moss ball.
- The active ball can be split with the spacebar.

- Good number of levels.
- Visual style is effective and consistent.
- Innovative growth mechanic.
- Very polished UI.
Things that could be improved:
- Controls are rugged.
- Some levels (especially earlier) are repetitive and don't use the growth mechanic much.
- Judging size relative to the rings can be hard and unsatisfying.
Pretty good base for a game, nice work.
@jcmonkey We did have some issues with terrain collision that we didn't fix in time -- we were banking on the reset button carrying us through. =P
@mattlevonian The audio increase was meant to indicate that the ball is absorbing water. The range is admittedly large. I'll clarify the instructions in the description.
I would've liked to have some sort of "sprint" button though, sometimes it felt like it was taking quite a while to get to where you needed to go.
the music getting louder when you get into the pool for indicating it absorb the water a little bit weird to me, and it'll be nice if the music volume change had a smooth transition
overall very nice game :)
