Not sure how scoring works? I think I went from 11 points down to 5 up to 6 and then 8.

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!"},{"author_name":"guoboism","author_uid":"24432","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 5:10am","epoch":1450069500,"text":"Great work!

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."},{"author_name":"dx0ne","author_uid":"11733","time":"Dec 17, 2015 @ 3:23pm","epoch":1450365480,"text":"Ending makes it worth!

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.  ","title":"Growing Up"}
