Liked the design a lot, but the camera movement is very annoying. Music is pretty good and I liked the platform/puzzle mix. I would've loved some extra mechanics though. I did play the entire game, so good job!

Nice start. Start menu audio is a bit obnoxious, but the rest of the music is cool. Nifty graphics and a fun "dancing" mechanic - good start!

Bah my other comment was for a different game, sorry. DX

I really like the wall-climb mechanic and the dual play of raising the platform/climbing. The music is a bit short and obnoxious but the sounds are pretty decent. Overall, fun stuff.

I liked the ending! Overall I think it's a nice little game to play. It wasn't too hard though there were some parts that threw me off but I managed to finish it.

The music gets a bit tiresome after a while and the growth power up sounds were starting to get to me. It might be that my volume is a bit high, though.

Good game!

Cute game. Relaxing. I wish my choices had a little more impact.

I kinda liked the mechanic but at one place it failed, I respawned on the flower thing. I don't know if that was intentional or not. Sound and graphics should be reworked for sure. I think you can do better. Also about writing, it wasn't really funny for me, you may try to work on that. Good luck!

The game idea is nice and it works well. If there were some type of hazards or things to avoid it would be even cooler.


Good work!

Fun game for the vertical climbing. I felt like it was always pushing the game forward with the plant growing in the center the whole way through. Wish the music loops were a little longer but considering one person made everything, it is quite impressive.

Interesting game, but really could've used more elements to it, as it was very very easy to figure out and finish.

Really nice platformer! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/eeRk2tDl2JU
