Very cute art, chill music, super simple two button mechanics, not terribly difficult but not super easy either. It's fun not knowing which path to choose cause you can't see what's too far ahead of you.

A game so nice I played it twice :)
I dig the chill vibe. I guess it would be nice if I looked more like a tree. Thanks for the fun game :D

Simple but cute game, more levels (or randomly generated ones) would have been great :)

A nice, chill game, with a pleasant color palette and just overall good vibes. I did find it easy to the point that it was almost impossible to lose. It might have been nice if running into a tree killed you, to add some level of difficulty.

I didn't feel that "limited space" was really all that relevant in this entry. I wonder if you designed this based on the 'overgrown' theme that was one of the potential last round picks ;p

Overall, despite some issues, it's a fun and relaxing game, I had a really nice time with it and played through a few times to see the alternate paths I could take. Going for the sides did add some difficulty. Nice job!
