I liked bein a plant.
But the end part is really hard.
Nice work.

Pretty cool, but the camera makes me dizzy.

Good game, I played about 10 times before I realised that the anglerfish give you health back.

Simple game, well implemented.

Is there an ending? I got 742. It seems impossible after taht point.

Anyway, I really like your fusion of themes here. I think it should be clearer that you are supposed to eat fish. Also, it would help if fish were facing both directions. The artwork is.... interesting.... I really like the art on plant though. I also like the feel of progress with the environment getting lighter.

It could use some music or something like that too.

Why didn't I think of this and that :)

There is no ending and i think it's getting way to hard at one point :/
Anglerfishes are happy -> eat them
Jelly fishes are angry -> avoid them
Just like real life :)

nice, love the tree generation process and how the game starts to zoom out and become harder. good use of both themes

Wow, that get's really hard at the end! Also I felt that collision detection wasn't completly working. Sometimes my plant was touching a fish or yellyfish a little but noting happened.

Liked the game. Matching both themes nicely.

Nice job here! Maybe add some smoothing to the movement left and right, but other than that a well implemented little package :)

wow, for something so simple looking, it provided a lot of fun, nice job!

the plant growing effect was cool, the controls were tight, and overall I found myself playing this for quite a while haha, I guess it's just relaxing to grow a little sea-plant

Excellent work :)

Fun is here, the difficulty curve is a bit steep and mb could be enhanced by adding slowly moving ennemies rather than densifying medusas :)

It reminded me of the game Ridiculous Fishing :) That's a good thing!
The graphics are minimal, but it doesn't matter in my opinion. The controls are responsive, I had the feeling I was in control all the time.
Good job!

That got a bit too fast pretty quickly and I didn't understand what I had to do at first. Well done otherwise.

interesting take on the infinite runner. The pan out when you speed up is a nice touch.

A frantic little game that seemed challenging and was very satisfying to play. The graphics could've used some work, but otherwise I liked the game, good job!
