Growy the Flowy by Optimus6128
This is my first Pico-8 game. It follows both on growing and 2 keys themes. You are growy the flowy, a growing plant that tries to reach the skies and avoid all danger above and below. Left and Right to control plant direction.
p.s. The source is inserted in the PNG cartidge link, then you have to use Pico-8 framework to load the cartidge and edit the code. Or maybe I'll try to upload the P8 somewhere.

Couple of powerups (which you'd need to entangle to get), more kinds of obstacles, scores - this game have the potential to grow =)
Excellent idea, beautiful visualization!
the control was nice and tight, and I could easily spin the plant around, avoiding obstacles, and forming some really pretty formations.
overall, this is an excellent entry, nice job! :)
I think the game could be greatly improved by one simple addition: a score. I can't see how far I've come. I can't compare my runs and I can't progress or compete so there is very little reason to play more often.
Neat entry !
At the day of the release I wanted to upload and go to sleep. I had an FTP which is still down. Later the next days I thought to upload to bitbucket, which I forgot. I did it now, updated the source button.
