Awesome music and graphics. A great concept too. You should let people rate on the Innovation Category because it is really original. Great job!

I absolutely love the music, and the gameplay is quite nice, well done!

Nice entry!

Great work, love the graphics and the music. It's all good except the control is a bit weird.

Cool concept with a pretty well balanced difficulty curve. I would have liked if the audio was a little bit quieter, but that's really just nitpicking.

I really like the music, the colors compliment each other nicely, and it's a very interesting idea!

The graphics were... okay, That one tile looked nice ;)
But my main problem is how the framerate dropped a lot which is strange considering how simple it seems.

But that's forgivable! Good entry nonetheless.

Awesome Graphics and Audio. I liked the combination of the two to make a nice playful mood.

I couldn't figure out how to get past the 4th level of the vine. I looked for things to break, or things to jump on, but I couldn't find anything. Did I miss something?

Good job overall!

Good concept.

You should make windows deployments executables for people who don't have the JRE and don't want it. :(

Good game. Controlled nicely. I didn't make it to the top but I enjoyed it even when I lost. A few more animations would have been nice, but overall good work

This game was pretty fun, though I wish the controls were either a bit more tight, or the camera was further back, so I wasn't jumping blindly as much. Graphics are simple but nice, I like the animation on the character. Audio is nice, but I wish the looping wasn't so obvious. Well done!

really cool! I like how the single world space is broken up into mini challenges based on the vine height. performance was a bit rough on my Mac, in particular the framerate seemed to stutter and drop when jumping and causing the screen to scroll. mad it a bit difficult to pull off some of the jumps.

Thanks for all the feedback thus far, I rushed to make a simple entity framework but had no idea of the bad decisions I was making at the time, basically I am getting the enemies too all do too many tests per second its silly.

Main lesson learned is to write a map editor/ entity framework prior to the compo.

I lost too many hours on day two to really sort out the controls and admit they are not clean enough!

I will look into making an .exe for Windows and upload that, thanks for the tip SSJMetroid.

I really like the music, and the overall apparence.
I don't like collision detection and general movement too much, though, it feels unpolished.
Interesting idea to use twitter for accounts...
