Could have used a little bit more polish but the idea is good. I think the best thing about this game is the graphics. (Though the text feels a bit low res) Gameplay feels a bit simple since the difficulty stays the same. (Or I suck and didn't get far enough for it to change :p )
Would have been nice if coins couldn't spawn inside a cloud. For the score I would recommend to always make a highscore display. At the moment it's kinda hard to know your best run. (+maybe add distance to score)
Nice game! The music fits the game well and creates a peaceful mood. I second Decentsauce's comment on how some coins spawn inside clouds and an increasing difficulty, but overall very well done :)

The music was really good, and I liked the way you could keep going at an angle, rather than moving left and right statically.
I gave the graphics a 5 because, for some reason, this was the first time 3D graphics really made me feel like WebGL was making cool new things. I know that sounds a little silly, but the bright colours and pacing just felt right. I'd love to see this more polished at a later date.
Really fun game! Like the Nintendo-ishness

Nice game, makes me think of Grow Home :)
Simple gameplay, but fun, and the graphics (excluding the text) are beatyful. The stalk seems kinda buggy sometimes, but overall great work :)

To make the font look better in unity. Increase the font size instead on scaling the object. Other than the text the game looks really beautiful
It is better to make this game in 1:1 screen.
Good idea, I wish you could turn at harder angles. The music was really good.
Its so hard. But music is cool.

Good job combining both themes. Would be nice with some changes to the restarting of the game, like one klick only and not reseting the audio (nice song btw).
Love the music and art. Has a really nice feel to it. I've played a couple like this now and this really pulls off the idea nicely.

The game is quite simple but very challenging, I think the turning speed could be a bit faster to make avoiding obstacles less difficult. The music is very zen and calming, give a nice feel to the game. Graphics is good as well, very bright and colorful, I liked it. The text was a bit distorted though.

Cool concept, some more balancing is needed though.
Sometimes it's really hard to evade obstacles since you change directions too slowly.
And a tip to make the text less blurry: scale the UI down and increase the font size ;)

Really liked the music and mood, very light-hearted and relaxing. Despite being quite slow for a 'runner' it was really tough due to the balance of cloud positioning and the turning speed.
I love the happy mood and how you used both themes at once!

This is a really cool game, and i love how you used both themes. however, this does technically break one of the rules of a compo entry. "I created all of the Art, Sound and Music myself" yet you credited jukedeck.com. the music is very fitting though, however, scince you credited the website, i don't think you made the music. if this is the case, you can always change your entry to a jam, and mention in the description that you made it solo in 48 hours. lots of people do that when they don't have the time to make good music. however, i am definitely glad you didn't leave your game without music. it really helped set the mood.
I love the music in this game, and the use of theme was good! I do wish the plant would have been a little quicker to respond to the commands it was given for moving in either direction, but it was fun anyway. Nice job :)

I did not break the rule.

You can check it in the rules :)
