This is an awesome game! I'm glad I didn't go with a plant theme because it wouldn't have been as cool as this. Very original idea and fun. The sounds and scrolling with one key reminds me of DOS games I used to play.

Holy cow ! This game is amazing. The interface got big limits but it goes very well. Nice work, the concept is crazy.

I couldn't get past the starting screen in the web version.

Awesome concept and idea, great execution. My only complaint is that the controls are haaaard. I know they're within the theme requirements, but I wish it was easier :D

Other than that, yeah, wow, well done!

Cheers,

Like the concept, great use of the themes and the visual style is pretty nice too, if a little hard to read at times. Overall though, I like what I've been able to play.

Unfortunately that isn't much as I kept getting fatal crashes.

@prymidion yeah like I wrote, thats some weird html thing. click the reload button and press a and d randomly. that should give focus to the game

@AthenaOfDelphi the downloadable jar crashed?

great game! I can't stop playing. wait to go back is a little annoying but so much stuff with only button is amazing.

Very good. I'd like to see a real-time version

I like the game, I just can't stand the menu system. This is one of those cases where earning points in the theme cost you more points everywhere else. I would have enjoyed it a lot more if I could have just clicked some options easily. Still would've given it full stars for the Growing theme and more stars for Fun and Overall. Nonetheless, I can appreciate the creativity that went into designing the game and overcoming both themes simultaneously. Good job!

@Jace239 I totally agree with you, but you have to consider that I made this in 16 hours straight with little pauses. I was in such a hurry, some of the key elements were created in the last 30 min. Any other system would have consumed too much time.

Really enjoyed this

A really well-put together game! Only complaint I have is that the contrast between colors can tire your eyes very quickly. Don't get me wrong, the aesthetic is very nice, but seeing the same, bright background color throughout my playthrough wasn't very pleasing.
Also, the two-button constraint hintered the gameplay a bit in my opinion, since I struggled quite often to go back to the main menu, or even selected an option by accident.
But I'm just nitpicking at this point, you did a great job on this one!

Couldn't start the game by holding a and d simultaneously, neither on Firefox nor Chrome (on Ubuntu 14.04).

@Dining Philisopher thats a the focus issue. click the dark part around the game and then click the game
