Good concept though, and I liked the audio!
I really liked this one, getting into the rhythm of it and just timing it right so Mr. Small is propelled on the next platform. My best score was 10, I got a couple 10 runs, but I can't seem to get the timing right for the 11 mark. Got super into it, I think it has that nice quality where you immediately want to start again after a run to get farther. Very fun game, great job!
Simple yet effective, as it gets quite frustrating at times! Fun interpretation of having to time jumps in an endless runner. As mentioned already, more replayability would come from further use of the mechanic or visual progress in the environment of some kind.
I also managed to continuously create flowers by spamming Space but I received no points sadly as I missed the triggers, that's what I get for cheating I guess!
The music and voice acting was superb, lots of people seem to love the 'Flowahhh', and so do I!

This is on Ubuntu 20.04 with intel integrated graphics. From what I've found online this is likely Unreal's fault and not yours, but I just thought I'd let you know.
Watching others play your game can be extremely insightful, so I recorded my playthrough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU9_b-v4dHQ
I usually manage to get past 7 (unless I'm really careless) but over 10 feels hard! I think that's a good balance, I'm not sure I'd enjoy it if every run took half an hour.
One slight issue for me is that it immediately makes the fan of my graphics card go crazy, I imagine fps isn't limited? (playing on linux).
Got to 9! Simple and fun concept. The game some time doesn't register your input, but otherwise I loved it.
It's a very nice and fun little game and loved the soundwork too. A fine entry indeed. A simple plan executed well!
Thank you all for rating and given feedback.
So I didn't win, but maybe I will have better luck next time. I'm this time just happy I managed to make a small little game. Yes it's really simple, and I could have done more, but I am still happy with what I made.
Hope to see all of you in the next LD. Good luck and have a great life.
