Pretty cool game, I love the mood and the graphics are kind of cute nwn!
Btw web versions says it couldn't load the data or something like that.

web version worked fine for me on firefox.

graphics looked cool (though, why that weird blurriness on the tree ?), music as well.

the only thing that would prevent me from trying to beat my record (46) would be the fact that it's completely random and you end up just doing a left-right and hope that you will find the next zone to grow which seems to be completely random ?

The controls work well and the music is nice :)
Some ideas for improvement I had were
1. decrease the speed when the sunflower is small
2. show the next lightbeam with an indicator to make it less random, but maybe add an obstacle (like a cloud) which stuns you, for more tactical depth

Addicting! Mood is perfect. love the music, but it cut out a bit awkwardly at one point. Player on this page does not work, but the GameJolt link works well. *SPOILERS*...

Don't know why it explodes at the end, but I loved it.

I'll admit, I laughed when the sunflower exploded. This game is basically one big game of high/low, when the light moves you gamble on whether it's to the right or to the left. The more you get it right, the more you grow. It doesn't make it very intriguing, but the music is groovin'.

That was fun :) (scored 34 !) I agree with Yazara though, it feels a bit too random for now

Have to say I didn't expect the flower to do that at the end. Got to 58 pts. Humorous and good BGM.

good music and good concept of the games makes it to play.
can improve on showing some indication on the sunlight is left or right,
can show some more contrast image to show the sun rays,

Nice blasting at the end
