Growing Up by stevepctech

[raw]
made by stevepctech for LD34 (COMPO)
The goal of this game is to grow your plant from a seed and reach the surface above. The player must dodge rocks placed above them by "leaning" the plant left or right as it grows (only two buttons required). There are three difficulties: easy, medium, and hard, which can be selected at the start of the game. The hardest difficulty generates a random map every round.

Intriguing concept. Speed up mechanic is interesting.

A little difficult at first but once you got the hang of flying it was alright. Not sure how scoring works? I think I went from 11 points down to 5 up to 6 and then 8. Any insight?

I like the game! It's fairly easy on easy but super hard on hard. Like the difference was extremely obvious when I switched. Many times when playing on hard, I would get get a wall of rocks and I couldn't avoid them. Other than that, good work!

Great work! Two buttons game with plant, most typical game in this ld34! The graphics looks really nice. The ending is impressive!

Great entry! Nice take on the combination of themes.

The hard mode is something fierce.

I liked the game-play at easy heaps :D green mode was really fun, however I think the red difficulty is beyond difficult and instead is impossible... idk maybe you can do it but I cant see whats ahead of me at all :D overall though it was a good looking, short and fun game.

Thank you all for playing my game! Sorry the hard mode is too difficult, I realized it can be impossible to reach the top because of its random nature. I recommend medium, since it's basically hard mode with a set (and possible!) path every time.
