Really fun mechanic! a clever and original interpretation of the jam theme
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!
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.
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
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.
Fun little mechanic! Some sound effects and music would have a done a lot to give the game some personality though.
My favorite game so far! I think making things more visible would improve gameplay.
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
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.
