Gameplay is solid an clear how the game mechanics work. Has a nice look and feel too. Really like the inclusion of the leaderboard, although Ry is over powered. Nice work guys! Good luck."},{"author_name":"tharealjohn","author_uid":"30568","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 2:03am","epoch":1450144680,"text":"Nice work!

The audio on the fire also carries over into the menu. Not bad, and an interesting concept!"},{"author_name":"TheBreakfast","author_uid":"62232","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 2:23am","epoch":1450145880,"text":"Everything from the music to the art, to the font you chose really supports the mood! The implementation of a high score mechanic made me play this entry more than most of the other entries I've tried so far! I was really gunning for the top score. I ended up getting seventh or something. Very impressive work.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>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.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyway, good game!"},{"author_name":"PlymouthJam","author_uid":"66143","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 1:32pm","epoch":1450186020,"text":"Awesome work here guys!

One miss when branching to a spore and you're done, since there's no way to cancel back out of the spirit branch and keep growing the main one.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>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. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I like how the leaderboards are integrated into the game, that's really cool"},{"author_name":"Jupiter_Hadley","author_uid":"27744","time":"Jan 6, 2016 @ 5:10pm","epoch":1452099900,"text":"Really interesting game!
