Nice game, but very hard. The water effect looks pretty nice tough.

Can't... let... the game... beat me...
I'm hooked. If I don't rate the other games that's your fault ;)
I see a successful iPhone game coming out from this game? You should port it :)
Hardcore. Just what I need.
Dammit. Couldn't get further than 1531. Awesome, iPhone port approved. Also, addicted.
Solid game. I agree that this would be a successful iPhone game.
When I saw the screenshoot I thought the boat was a slime xDDD Great game, I find it quite hard at the begining, maybe it could be more progressive... and when I reset sometimes the boat crashes without even start to run :S
A nice combination of frustrating yet addictive. Good job :)
Amazing! Port it to Android as well!
Haha, nice timewaster (in a good meaning of this word). Your game is a bit hard, or my hands are too slow for it. You should definitely make it a phone game!
Gaahhh, This game is annoyingly addictive. Would work well on a Ipad with the accelerometer for controls.
Great job.
Don't know how it relates to the theme tho..
Thank you everyone for the kind words.
I am working on an android release this week, just need a day of rest after the weekend. iPhone will be more difficult, but I'd love to make that happen.
My personal best score is 3555. Has anyone done better?
Regarding the theme: The idea was that you're playing in the 'tiny' world of a single leaf, trying to navigate a tiny stream of water, with the occasional firefly buzzing past you and lighting the way.
Great job! This game was totally fun, and also quite a challenge. Your voxel work makes it something outstanding.
Cubetastic!
So what's the special prize? ....You're not playing a practical joke on whoever gets 10000 and demands a prize are you? :)
Erm...when I double click it starts to open a wondow and then abruptly stops without even giving an error sign--it just blinks onto the screen for a split second.
There is definitely a prize if you beat 10000. More than one person can win the prize.
It looks good and plays alright. It would benefit from an analog control input - joystick or even h-axis on the mouse. Or possibly not instantly re-centering on key-up.
Fun. Hard. Like the water.
very nice! There went 15 minutes!
Good job on this one, very hard but definitely fun. Water effect is very interesting.
Amazing how satisfying it is to find a comment you've left in the game just a little bit further downstream...
Fun: 5/5. Pretty hard, but fun to play!
***I'm posting this on all non-browser games I bring up in an attempt to encourage folks to make browser games next time around. Do not take it personally.***
When hundreds of people make non-browser games, that means that, to play all of the entries, I would need to download hundreds of games to my computer. I typically use OS X, so Windows-only entries are particularly inconvenient.
Please consider making a browser game next time.
looks very pretty, but gets hard pretty quick
I have to say this game is really fun and addictive, but one slight problem, I don't see how this goes with the theme. The game is pretty awesome though! :D
I really love how this looks. I'm hypnotized by it, and don't ever want to stop.
Wow, really good! The narrow sections are really hard, but it's nothing that some tweaking on the collision side of things couldn't fix. I absolutely love how it looks, and it does seem to have a lot of room for adding cool stuff such as obstacles on the wide section or ramps for the leaf to jump from :D nicely done! I definitely can see it work as a mobile app.

Thanks again everyone!
I really enjoyed playing your game, I like challenging games and I liked this one. I think there should be a little bit more incentives to reach farest, maybe adding some color or music after some distance (of course is just my opinion). Thanks for the fun (my record ~5500).
edbadiux: that's a great score! i haven't managed to score that well after many tries :) remember, there is a special bonus at 10000.
Tough, but well made. Love the graphics. Boxes are in right now :-)
Awesome game, sometimes suddenly real hard, and then real easy, graphics also look really cool
Neat water effect! But yes very hard and unforgiving.. Not saying that's a bad thing though!! Still had to try it over and over again just to get that little further.. Nice entry
Awesome graphics and effects, but dang hard. After ten tries I couldn't get past the 3rd turn where it gets narrow.
It´s hard, ahuAHUahuha!
Also, more leafs as IA will be awesome! :)
Nice effects for the graphics.
Awesome, loved it.
Hard... but I enjoyed it overall, well done :)
Think I managed 4525. Very tense and fun. Procedurally-generated levels would make this great... greater, even!
Pretty tough, but fun game, I like the simplistic look and the water looks nice.
Awesome game!! Pretty hard though
Fun game, impressive style for a bunch of basic shapes. I got to around 2500 before I crapped out, is there actually a prize or is that an empty promise?
These levels are in fact procedurally generated. They follow a sine wave of varying amplitude, with a random +/-1 added to give it the smaller details near the shore.
I ran out of time before I could test more complicated waveforms with varying frequency, but I'm working on an android version that includes that an much more :)
Thanks for the feedback!
Oh, and yes, there really is a prize if you reach 10000 or greater. Many people have reached 5000, but 10000 is possible if you can stay focused long enough.
I just scored 10559!!!! It is officially possible to win the prize :)
6533... I'll give it another try.
Challenging!
:D
I HATE this game >:( I never gonna play it again... err... one more try...
That enough (for today)!!! Every time I hear the (deadly) crash sound (of dead, of course) I want to burn something.
Cheers!
PS.-Great game!
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!! 6431!! What piece of creature from hell have programmed you!
PS.-Last comment I promise :)
Sir, you have wasted my valuable time, that could have been used to play other Ludum Dare games, by uploading such an addictive entry. Shame on you!
Full points for fun :)
Also, forgot to say, I loved the blocky graphics.
It get's too hard very fast. Sadly, because it's a fun game!
