Very innovative gameplay! Levels are fun, and mechanics are really cool. Make sure you do the tutorial, it explains a lot!

Decent little game, but the controls felt weird to use and I glitched through a wall into the void on the second level. Still, nice implementation of the growth theme!

Clever design! This was a fun little game.

One of the levels crashed on me, though, and I had to restart. I think it occurred when I moved the mouse over a water tile. Here's the terminal output:

Good game, make sure to do the tutorial though!

Great job with this. While it was a bit buggy and the controls weren't all that smooth, the mechanics were very unique and well used. Well done.

Pretty cool little game! It locked up on me a couple of times though :(

Cool idea. Very nice to include a tutorial. I like how the non linear level layout makes you have to explore around to find what to do. I had the same problem with levels freezing up, though.

This was a really good little game! I liked the main mechanic and the use of the theme. My only two complaints were the jittery camera and that it sometimes didn't recognize clicks.

Awesome job!

Very good game mechanisms and level design! But crashed and also, and the spikes are way too dangerous...

Sometimes crashes for me with this exception:

Exception in thread "Game Loop" java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.util.LinkedList.node(LinkedList.java:577)

I can't actually beat the first level since this happens too frequently.

minuskelvin 2015-12-14 10:33

Ooh, the crash didn't happen until level 3 this time. Interesting game.

The concept and mechanics are solid, but the game feels very unstable and rough around the edges.
You can hover in the air slightly if you hold the jump button down, and rubbing against walls while jumping boosts your jump as well.
The hitboxes on the obstacles are a bit unforgiving as well.

Good concept, though.

Can't run the game, but the game looks so interesting. All in all, sucks to be me

Nice innovative game, I liked the mechanics a lot and there are a lot of gameplay elements for a LD gamre. The level design was also pretty good. I liked the first level in particular. Main downside is that it was a bit buggy. And those damn spikes are way too sensitive >_>
