I really love the atmossphere on this game and that you had time to do an online leaderboard! Well done! Though the controls on keyboard were a bit hard, maybe change that up a bit. And also some custom UI sprites, would've been nice. But this game is in my opinion one of the most impressive so far, good job!

(Also it would be pretty cool if you could check out my game too ^^)

Well this game awakened something in me.  Any time I see a leaderboard you'd best believe I'm gonna get on there one way or another lol. This game was simultaneously satisfying and infuriating. I loved the feeling after weaving through a dense area, but those little bug things are my new nightmare fuel. I understand and kind of like how when you die you respawn on a random bud, but It at times feels a bit unfair to be sent 50/100m back down after working so hard to get to that point, so I'd maybe suggest only respawing on a random point of the most recent 10/15 buds or so to make it a bit more encouraging to the player after a crash. I will probably come back to this later today because I barely broke the top 10. Thank you for such a fun entry!

Edit: I just broke into the top 5 so I am plenty happy with that lol

One of the most well made & polished games I've played in this jam, I think you utilized the assets and your time really well and it could easily be ported as a mobile game and I would instantly download it! :) Well done!



3rd place is good enough for now x)

Really fitting graphics and also a really good difficulty level.

Now and then you spawn really stupid that there is no way out, but that is probably part of the nature of the game =D

Veeeeery intersting!!! I love your game !!! XD

I even want to save all the screenshots of my best results. lol

(And the face of the enemies is very cute when approaching, good job!)

This is a game jam gem of a game.  On theme, beautifully executed and challenging.  The vining felt organic (especially the branching to form a new vine).  The turning was quite sensitive which is needed as times and at other times works against you if you're not careful.  The location for branching a new vine wasn't very clear...sometimes is sent you really far back.  Perhaps it sent you 50% of the way back from where that branch started?  

Loved it.  Thank you for making it. 

This game goes perfectly with the theme is my first comment! Great game, I had a lot of fun playing this. I do agree with what others have said about the respawn system being too punishing, RNG dictates if you will have a good second run depending on the path you've taken before and how many times you've died. In contrast to that, it definitely adds a layer of depth and strategy when you do die to make a recovery. Thanks for the submission it was fun!

I had a lot of fun playing this! The gamplay is very addicting. My feedback is that I think the respawn mechanic could be less punishing. For most runs I reached the furthest before dying and then couldnt get back to where I was after the respawn bc it was hard to avoid my own path
