Make your way from one shore, to the other!\r\n\r\n=== Gameplay ===\r\n\r\nRight-click (or any key) to throw seeds, which grow trees and rarely bushes.\r\n\r\nLeft-click to swing on trees. Note: click just _past_ the target.\r\n\r\nThe distance you throw seeds depends on whether you're swinging, stationary, or moving through the air.\r\n\r\nOnly two seeds can be thrown at a time - time your tosses strategically!\r\n\r\nWhen you reach the far end of the island, a few stats will be shown. Have fun swinging around and planting seeds until then!\r\n\r\n=== Stats ===\r\n\r\nNUMBER OF TREES: How many trees you've planted\r\n\r\nMAX SPEED: Maximum player velocity, in pixels per second (lag-adjusted)\r\n\r\nMAX HEIGHT: How high you've reached relative to the bottom of the ocean, in pixels\r\n\r\nFURTHEST FLIGHT: The maximum distance you've traveled without colliding with the ground, in pixels\r\n\r\n=== THEME ===\r\n\r\nWe chose \"Growing\" as the primary theme, and limited ourselves to 2 mouse buttons (and mouse position) in order to have \"Two Button Controls\" as as secondary theme.\r\n\r\n=== TEAM ===\r\n\r\nEthan \"Soron\" Kaminski: core programming\r\n\r\nBilly Fluid: art, music, sound\r\n\r\nJames Peng: additional programming","title":"Gaia Vine"}
