Inferno Botanica by QuestionableQuality
As the forest burns grow your spirit vine to heavens as the flame chases you into the sky. Use your spirit branches to grab the remaining spirit spores needed to keep growing.
Instructions:
- Growing the main trunk costs spirit.
- Branching stops the main trunk growing.
- If the green flame reaches the top of the main trunk it's game over.
- Branch off to grab spirit spores to increase the amount of remaining spirit.
Controls:
- Left or Right arrow to create a branch.
- left or right arrow key to bend branch respectively.

Solid mechanics. My only gripe is that at some points when you run out of spirit, you might not be near any orbs to collect. Maybe it would help to add a mechanic where spirit appears after you've run out, but only one of the orbs is within the area where you can feasibly reach it. This way you have to quickly judge which one you can collect, and if you're wrong, you die.
Anyway, good game!
I'm glad I saw a leaderboard on there also, always adds that extra bit of replayability on there ;) I think I'm currently 10th with ~70-80m
I found it confusing that the fire you're running away from is green. I thought it was good or part of the plant at first, and didn't understand why I kept dying initially.
I like how the leaderboards are integrated into the game, that's really cool
