That's a really nice game. Love the graphics and adherence to the themes. A score (plant height) would have been a good addition.

That's a really nice game. Love the graphics and adherence to the themes. A score (plant height) would have been a good addition.
That's a lot of fun! The graphics are simple yet very good. Having a score as well as moving obstacles would be good.
Addicting! I like the effect of the of offshoot vines, and I was pleasantly surprised by the non-infinite ending :)
Love it! The graphics look awesome, the gameplay is strangely sathisfying and the sound effects.. ahh.. the sound effects...
Adictive and beauty, i love it!
fun!
I have to admit, that's a novel mechanic if I've ever seen one. Good job!
The parts growing off to the sides really makes it look great and organic :)
I just loved this game. Missing a highscore to give it some replay perspective. I love the art style and the way that the plant is handled. Beautiful job!
Nice flowing art. I really like the fire effect upon impact!
very neat! Certainly not the only "growing vine" entry into this compo, but definitely one of the more polished ones. The pixel art and color pallet is clean and pretty, and the burning effect when you fail is very well done. Overall, an excellent submission!
Nice job, good idea and interesting mechanic.
Nice to play. There doesn't seem to be much of an objective however.
Really great theme interpretation!
poor growy :( you were inconveniently long but we still loved you even more than you can imagine!
Very solid. The visuals are a reward in themselves.
Very pretty game. It's probably not doable with Pico-8 but it'd be kind of neat if you could export the final version of Growy you made. Sometimes I just 'wandered' around making circles for fun.
great growing effect, love it
The graphics are very pleasant, I could totally see this as a mobile app in the future :D
Very nice growing algorithm, and graphics are fitting. I like the how the vine handles too.
Couple of powerups (which you'd need to entangle to get), more kinds of obstacles, scores - this game have the potential to grow =)
I can tell you're an artist so I'm going to go hard on you, the boxes are awful! Hideous texture. However the plant is orgasmic, although if it had a bud at the end I would get less long :P But good job overall.
I like that plant visual. Keep up the great work !
I love the graphics and the visuals of the game.
Growy is awesome!
Excellent idea, beautiful visualization!
Very nice growing animation and effects, very style!!!!
Loved this! I love the look of the vine as it grows. Very well done, very addicting. I wish I could just zoom out and draw pictures with this effect.
cute
I like it! Was pretty hard to understand what to do in the start, but it's fun once you understand the basics :)
The stem generation and look is very nice!
Quite engaging and visually pleasing! It could use more challenge though. Nice work!
I love that you made this with pico, and it's really well done too!
Amazing graphics! however a scoring system would be nice. i really liked how smoothly the plant generated, while still being pixelated!
I really like the visual of the planet growing. This could be a really relaxing and fun game with the proper music and polish.
Very fun!Growth mechanic is fantastic! Good Job! Should have a good soundtrack to play and relax!
wow, really great job, especially for your first pico-8 game, it looked nice, sounds were fitting, and the death animation was really cool.
the control was nice and tight, and I could easily spin the plant around, avoiding obstacles, and forming some really pretty formations.
overall, this is an excellent entry, nice job! :)
Nice art and controll of the growing, but no fun Gameplay.
Pretty damn well put-together. A fun little game.
I like how fluid it's growth feels :)
Nice graphics - good to see generated art and not only tiles from Pico-8 carts. Would have loved a little bit music as well.
It's a good base, but there are many things missing, I know it's LD but a better background e.g. would be nice :)
This is quite relaxing to play! I love the way vines spread out from the main branch. It's a pleasurable experience.
Beautiful style of your growing! )
awesome mate!!
Nice game. My favorite part is the vine growing animation. Looks really nice.
I think the game could be greatly improved by one simple addition: a score. I can't see how far I've come. I can't compare my runs and I can't progress or compete so there is very little reason to play more often.
Nice quiet game ! I loved licked rendering of the plant and smooth/addictive gameplay ...
Neat entry !
Surprisingly fun and nice to look at. Loved the animations and death sequence.
Lovely game, thanks for making it!
After seeing your game on a lets play I came here to come check out the source because I found some of the things you did cool but by submitting it the way you have you putting it behind a $15 paywall. I know within in the rules of the compo it's allowed but it doesn't seem within the spirit of why the source is there in the first place
Nice and simple! I was just getting the hang of it and saying it was too easy when I lost horribly, so that's moot. A "high score" and music is all you need to publish this!
Very nice entry! A general goal (score or ending for example) would have make it better though... But them leaves look güüüüd!!
@cynicalmonkey: You are right.
At the day of the release I wanted to upload and go to sleep. I had an FTP which is still down. Later the next days I thought to upload to bitbucket, which I forgot. I did it now, updated the source button.
Amazing graphics!
Great game! I liked the difficulty curve.
A very pleasing little experience, thanks :)
I like the game, though I would have liked some kind of leader board or some kind of score. :)
Very nice looking game! It was calming and enjoyable to play. Nice work! :D
