Himawari (ヒマワリ) by logorrhea

[raw]
made by logorrhea for LD34 (COMPO)
You are a sunflower (ヒマワリ), and your goal is to grow as tall as you can! But watch out for the birds, they'll want to eat you!

Maneuver the sunflower left and right with Left and Right arrow keys or A and D.

** Important **
Please use one of the native builds, if possible. The Unity WebGL export seems to not be playing nicely with several of my assets.

I love this xD It's so simple, but the graphics and music just pull me right into the game. It's super relaxing too! Good job! :)

Nice job! It seems we had similar ideas for games! The music is relaxing.

Sorry Odnetninl, I should have tagged that as untested. I'll play with it tonight when I get home and see if I can't get a working build.

Really nice aesthetics. A simple concept, well executed.

Nice and relaxing. It didn't seem to get more difficult?

Nice work! The graphics worked well and the music was spot on. Pretty fun little game. I just wish as time went on the difficulty would increase. Maybe increasing the speed of growth, speed of the birds, spawn rate, or all 3? I think that would be a good addition.

It's really basic and fun! Graphics and music are great too! Nice game!

Thanks for playing! Yes, the colour changing was to distract the player, sorry, I should have warned you guys about flashing colours. :D -- My response to your comment on my game.

I liked the idea behind the game, but the way in which the birds spawn more often than not left me with no possible way of proceeding, which was frustrating.
That said, the music was nice and relaxing and, had the birds been a bit friendlier, the core game was itself pleasantly calm. :)

I love the music, it fit the game perfectly. The graphics are also beautiful. Nice work!

Sometimes, birds come in off the side of the screen when it's too late to dodge them, which seems unfair :( Also, the hitboxes in general are rather unforgiving..

Otherwise it's a nice little game. Music is quite nice too!

Plays simple, but certain things feel like they could be polished more. The birds seem to have a really large collider, for example, and I kind of want screen-wrapping so I don't end up being cornered to one side of the screen.
