Cute artstyle and easy controls! It was not immediately obvious to me who i was playing as at firstbut figured it out quickly!

Just like @louiejams it was unclear for me who I was at the start, but I quickly figured out how to play. Nice little game. Had fun playing. Thanks for the game!

Nice platformer :) Cute art :)

Loved the pixelart of the game. I didn't know how to put that protective seed around the tree, but other than that, it played nicely. Good job!

I like this game a lot! Nice artstyle, the audio is good, but it lacks some cool UI, i had some trouble noticing what object does what :/ But outside of this, this game is really good!

It is a fun game with nice graphics but has some bugs that need to be fixed. It also wasn't very clear at first what I needed to do but other then that this is a good entry to the jam!

Nice game! Great artwork, even if a little bit inconsistent and unpolished in some areas. The music is simple and blends with the tone of the game well. The gameplay is quite enjoyable and the difficulty curve escalates quite well. More polish, more visual indicators and more game feel elements would go a long way in enhancing the game. Good work!

Overall it was a nice and simple game with a lot of content. There was a lot of bugs(hit reg, spawns, etc.). If you could I would try to make the UI(health) more clear - it was quite small and i didn't notice it until later. Otherwise it was great

Cool game, I like the concept of keeping a plant alive with some action platforming! I like the art style and the music. Sometimes monsters can get stuck inside walls, it's no big deal in a game jam game :grin: I think the game is a bit too easy, but that's understandable given the time constraints.

Good job on this one!

fun!

Fun concept. A little buggy as others have said (I mostly had problems with hitboxes). Overall an amazing game for your first attempt! Keep up the good work.

I struggled with some of the platforming elements, either jumping off the edge of the screen, or the hitbox colliding when I wasn't expecting it to. At least at one point in the game the enemies weren't dying when I touched them. On more than a few occasions the enemies seemed to spawn and get stuck in the walls. The UI definitely needed a bit of work to make aspects of it clearer for the user in both of terms of visibility and placement.

Once I got past a few of these things I was able to progress to about level three, though it was tricky with the unkillable enemies to make it that far.

For a first attempt it was a pretty solid game, you all did a good job and should be proud of that.

wonderful. Congrats guys!

Fun little platform that fit the theme pretty well! Good job guys!

The killing enemies mechanic confused me a little bit, as some times they would die if I touched them, but other times they wouldn't? It seemed like for the most part the grey enemy needed to be ran into from the back and the green enemy need to be jumped on? Sometimes though they would die from other areas of running into or just not die.

Overall though I enjoyed the game, congrats again!

Cool idea, would be great if you could push the tree around too.

grizley 2020-04-24 08:43
