Really fun mechanic! a clever and original interpretation of the jam theme

Submitted

95.03m... almost every flower! Great Action game where the main character is a root! LOL very funny.

I actually had a lot of trouble to play: When I press left I expect the thing to turn left, but because the root is going down, it turns right (left of the screen). I see why you did that but consider an update with setting where the player can invert direction and also removing the limit of turning angle... this would be the feature for those who like to extreme score by going around and around as much as possible!

I solved the turning problem by using my keyboard up side down so my score is technically cheating!


Great Game. I really enjoy it!

Neat concept. Simple and well done!

Submitted

I like that a lot. Very addictive and clever.

This was really fun!  Im gonna offer an unpopular opinion and say that I liked how zoomed in the camera was.  It adds a level of difficulty, besides the speed at which the root grows.

I really like this game SO MUCH, but... it's hella hard. I think you should add a button to slow growth. so that we can aim through the narrow gap.

Hi.An interesting concept. I agree with the commentators about the camera. It seems to me that at the very bottom there should still be water, not stones.  We dodged everyone anyway, but missed the water that is higher. Good luck

Submitted

Really good concept, but it is brutally difficult and I died a lot to unfair rng. Maybe make the screen bigger so you have more reaction time?

Congrats on finishing and releasing your project, that is a great step forward. I only wished the the camera would be more zoomed out so there is more space for good reaction. Also in the instruction it would have been nice if it said to also avoid hitting other roots. 

I like it. Kinda wish there was like a lil animation or something signaling that you've gotten it to water giving you a moment to get you ready for the next root.

pretty good idea

Fun little mechanic! Some sound effects and music would have a done a lot to give the game some personality though.

Submitted

My favorite game so far! I think making things more visible would improve gameplay.

Submitted

Super fun game. Hard mode might be a bit too hard with randomly killing you at the start but aside from that it was great

Submitted

Quite unique and a nice way to meet the theme. Despite it's simple concept I did find this quite challenging, but still super fun. I'm glad I played it!

I like the concept and the challenge of navigating the root to water! I don't think moving the camera back and allowing the player to see more of the map would take away from the challenge or concept! Great work.
