Ahh...I got stuck in front of first obstacle. Summoning flowers at the right time was actually harder than I thought.

Ahh...I got stuck in front of first obstacle. Summoning flowers at the right time was actually harder than I thought.
I chuckled a bit hearing the dramatic "flowerrr!" sound in all its variations
Flower Power! Interesting take on an infinite runner type thing I could see this getting built out into something with a lot of variety, roguelike style where your build and timing/skill matter.
Simple but effective - I could definitely see this being turned into something good, but in its current state it felt a bit lacking. There wasn't really any variation or randomness to the levels, and there weren't any decorations or anything. The environment felt a bit uninspired - even a few trees or bushes in the background would make it feel a lot more finished.
Good concept though, and I liked the audio!
A simple game but I can play for a long time! The sound is quite interesting and graphics are comfortable! Nice work.

I really liked this one, getting into the rhythm of it and just timing it right so Mr. Small is propelled on the next platform. My best score was 10, I got a couple 10 runs, but I can't seem to get the timing right for the 11 mark. Got super into it, I think it has that nice quality where you immediately want to start again after a run to get farther. Very fun game, great job!
The voice acting is definitely the best part. Otherwise, pretty simple but enjoyable enough.
Simple but good enough to make me want to try to beat my score a few times (got to 12). I like how I have to time it differently as the level gets faster.
very simplistic but it works perfectly. Mr.small is a cute little character who makes you want to help him on his climb. Maybe a little too simplistic, but I'll just end with "FLOWER" Thanks to you!
This is a great twist on an infinite runner. Its harder then I thought to pick the right time to summon a flower. Also this is very well polished with some nice background music and great animations. I love how Mr. Small waddles, so cute. Well done!
Nice work. It's a simple idea, but fun to play for several runs. And the voice acting is a great touch :)
A reincarnation of Flappy Bird :D
Your game's charming concept and memorable "Flower~!" sound have captured my heart
I like this game! You guys are great!
Charming and deceptively difficult. I love skill games and the timing is actually really tough. Some variety in the gameplay would give it more re-playability.
love the "flower!!" sound hahahahaha cant stop laughing lol
Flowah powah
Charming vibe with the music and art, the font and color choices were especially pleasing. Nice touch to have color variation in the flowers :)
Simple yet effective, as it gets quite frustrating at times! Fun interpretation of having to time jumps in an endless runner. As mentioned already, more replayability would come from further use of the mechanic or visual progress in the environment of some kind.
I also managed to continuously create flowers by spamming Space but I received no points sadly as I missed the triggers, that's what I get for cheating I guess!
Fun game to kill some time with indeed ^^ The game gliched out at around the 8th or 9th platform: it would spawn in right in front of me. After that the platforms stop spawning and mr flower falls into the void. I think I found a bug there ^^"
The music and voice acting was superb, lots of people seem to love the 'Flowahhh', and so do I!
It's an interesting concept, good job!
Neat and simple!
The linux build crashes on launch for me with the following error: ``` LowLevelFatalError [File:.\Runtime/VulkanRHI/Private/VulkanUtil.cpp] [Line: 1131] VulkanRHI::vkDeviceWaitIdle(Device) failed, VkResult=-4 at .\Runtime/VulkanRHI/Private/VulkanDevice.cpp:1408 with error VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST Signal 11 caught.

Good bye. Segmentation fault ``` This is on Ubuntu 20.04 with intel integrated graphics. From what I've found online this is likely Unreal's fault and not yours, but I just thought I'd let you know.
I love this cute bird! Nice visual!
It is harder than it seems. It is full and working, the only thing I don't like is the file size, which is a bit large for my taste. After all a very well done and cool game!
i vibe hard with this, awesome bird, phenomenal sound effects
Charming. I wish there was a leaderboard, and the game over animation was a tad bit long.
Watching others play your game can be extremely insightful, so I recorded my playthrough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU9_b-v4dHQ
Very cute and surprisingly fun! Really liked the "flower" sound effect.
F L O W E R :sunflower:
This was a fun game to play for a bit, smiling all the way through! The "Flower!" sound every time you summon a flower is great :)
I usually manage to get past 7 (unless I'm really careless) but over 10 feels hard! I think that's a good balance, I'm not sure I'd enjoy it if every run took half an hour.
One slight issue for me is that it immediately makes the fan of my graphics card go crazy, I imagine fps isn't limited? (playing on linux).
~F~L~O~W~E~R~
Got to 9! Simple and fun concept. The game some time doesn't register your input, but otherwise I loved it.
I like the sound effects a lot! The timing is pretty brutal, but I like that each run doesn't take too long. I wish it was a bit quicker to restart after dying, but otherwise this is quite a cute little idea.
Loved it, simple and fun!
My LD buddy @frank-gevaerts beats me! 7 is my limit!
It's a very nice and fun little game and loved the soundwork too. A fine entry indeed. A simple plan executed well!
Well that's... an interesting game. Lol :D
Nice game, I liked the sound effect, it's fun!
"Flooowaah..." :D :D

Thank you all for rating and given feedback.
So I didn't win, but maybe I will have better luck next time. I'm this time just happy I managed to make a small little game. Yes it's really simple, and I could have done more, but I am still happy with what I made.
Hope to see all of you in the next LD. Good luck and have a great life.
