Very nice graphics! Game plays well and hits up both of the themes.

I can't play it:/ Google Chrome can't run WebGL applets, Unity applets, Java applets and many more. Try adding a download link.

Fun game, and very pretty! The music was also good, as in it didn't really irritate me and when I noticed it I liked it. The controls could be better and sometimes you encounter situations that you can't avoid (like a worm crawling out of the wall and blocking of the path when rock thing is also floating down. Good job!

anael 2015-12-14 16:58

Cute. But it seems that sometimes, obstacles cannot be avoided.

floatingghost 2015-12-14 16:59

That was cute

Very impressive and innovative, stunning graphics, and fitting music choice to improve on the mood. Fun to play and addictive. A good deal of wacky things are thrown at you and you eventually learn how to avoid them. I'd imagine this would work well as a mobile game.

Love the aesthetics!
Some obstacles are a bit too fast to dodge :)

sydan 2015-12-14 17:00

Fits the theme very well and the overall feel of the game was wonderful, I loved the art style. The only annoying thing was bouncing balls... they always hit me before I could react.

juin 2015-12-14 17:00

Really like the art!

justinooncx 2015-12-14 17:00

Wonderful aesthetics, but the randomization of enemies is frustratingly difficult. So many impossible spots...

oal 2015-12-14 17:01

Good work with both themes, and I really like the graphics. Good sound too!

arowx 2015-12-14 17:01

Nice Work. It worked fine for me in Chrome on PC.

nitinmdsu 2015-12-14 17:01

Looks beautiful!

koalabot 2015-12-14 17:02

Fits both themes very well! I love the graphics, very well done! I was never able to make it very far because of unavoidable situations causing me to die -- maybe I was missing something there.

rockford 2015-12-14 17:02

Too hard some time (not fair when you cannot see what's coming) but good mood and nice visuals!

rplnt 2015-12-14 17:02

Nice graphics and music. Really like the overall look (except the font I guess :))
A bit hard (impossible?) to avoid some falling things.

icereci 2015-12-14 17:03

soothing game. I like the atmosphere. Nicely done.

x92rwzb 2015-12-14 17:03

Sometimes obstacles can't be avoided but other than that really nice game!

studiosaurus 2015-12-14 17:03

Nice game! very pretty. It is a bit frustrating how sometimes those purple things come straight out the blue and are impossible to dodge, but otherwise, really solid.

r-t-sonneveld 2015-12-14 17:04

Pretty fun game! It was a bit frustrating at times though, the physics screwed me over a few times and the hitboxes are too big in certain places (for example: http://i.imgur.com/hUM09Sy.png) The music/sound was pretty good. Overall a pretty good game :)

ranseur 2015-12-14 17:04

It's a bit frustrating to have an unavoidable pellet fall down and instakilling you, but nice game overall!

teamross 2015-12-14 17:05

Congratulations on this first jam!
It was a little hard for me to survive while climbing the cave, but overall looks very good. :)

aaants 2015-12-14 17:05

Really nicely crafted; the sound, speed and visuals work really well together. Enjoyed it!

yamzho 2015-12-14 17:08

Damn... I did a similar game and you did it 10 times better ! ;) Great game. Love the whole thing !

sergear 2015-12-14 17:26

Thank you very much for your comments!
Sorry for some bugs and difficulties. If there would be more time to balance it better :D

sergear 2015-12-14 18:19

Steering updated, stone improved, also added windows downloadble build.

et1337 2015-12-14 18:39

Gorgeous graphics, nice music. Well done! Items come down a bit fast sometimes, leaving you no time to react. Still plays very well though.

amras0000 2015-12-14 18:54

Game's very nice-looking, but the obstacles often can't be avoided, the suns and purple balls fall far too quickly giving no reaction time. And the obstacles sometimes hide behind others, again giving no reaction time.
Core gameplay is solid, though (if frame-droppy at times), I just can't get past a few tens of points and level 1.

sputnik 2015-12-14 20:42

Nice music. Simple nice and moody game play. Well done!

cynicalmonkey 2015-12-14 20:54

I think you need to play my entry, it will be like looking in a pixelated mirror :)

Not to repeat the crowd but loved the graphics and thought the audio really fit well with it. Agree about the impossible spots but I have similar ones in mine so it would be hypocritical to complain to much.

pusty 2015-12-14 21:05

Looked amazing! Sounded amazing! Overall amazing!

dusho 2015-12-14 21:15

heh.. similar idea :)
very nice graphics and music.. has nice mood..

disdanes 2015-12-15 03:52

Very clean graphics, nice use of both themes.

ndebruyn 2015-12-15 08:54

I really love this game.
The art style is fantastic and the game play is simple enough.
Good job!

tyrants-not-found-team 2015-12-15 09:16

I had exactly the same idea for a growing plant when i first saw these 2 themes.
So what can i say, awesome idea :))
And nicely executed :D

logon13 2015-12-15 09:29

Really cool use of lighting

korvexx 2015-12-15 10:05

Good stuff you two! :) Works well with both themes. The graphics are nice, but your colors are really well done. I think the colors work incredibly well here. It isn't terribly innovative but it was enjoyable to play nonetheless. :)

pedrorossa 2015-12-15 12:22

I can't feel what is enemy and what not.
But is a prety and cool game, congrats.

madball 2015-12-15 17:14

Graphics, music and the style in general is great. Gameplay is fun, too, but hitboxes need to be more clear. Also, sometimes the cave generation makes a complete dead end.

riftpoint 2015-12-15 19:57

This game is so beautiful! Good job!

troma 2015-12-15 23:19

God theme execution. I like it.

seconddimension 2015-12-16 16:36

Great use of both the themes. Good graphics and I enjoyed the gameplay. It's sometimes impossible to avoid some of the objects though. A very well polished game.

mrmordem 2015-12-16 23:09

Nice job, good concept & fun to play :)

inbetweengames 2015-12-17 13:02

I like the graphics - that's one lovely color palette! :)
The game itself is quite frustrating at times since there is no way of avoiding some obstacles.. some collision issues here and there - but then again it pushes you to play more and try to get a "good draw" :)
Unfortunately didn't manage to get past Level 1 (but tried hard).

Also - you must be very brave people to use Comic Sans ;)

blancohugo 2015-12-19 17:08

Very cool game. The growth mechanics are pretty cool. Good job!

2015-12-22 20:31

Nice color palette and graphics.
The mechanics ok, but the collision fail sometimes.

I hope you develop more the mechanics to mobile!

scorched 2015-12-26 15:58

The graphics are cool! The gameplay is tough though, and it's not always clear, what I can pickup and what will kill me

jupiter_hadley 2015-12-28 17:09

Beautiful graphics! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/Fm6iQk47yZ0
