Pretty nice game, I really like the art, music and general vibe. The gameplay is simple but pretty fun, though it would be good if it got faster or more difficult as it progressed. There seems to be a few missing art assets. I feel like the game could be really fun and polished with just a few more hours dev time :)

Developer

Awesome! We're happy to see that you enjoyed our game! About the art, we're definitely gonna work on that. As for the difficulty increase, it may take some time, but we'll see if we can get it done!

This is some truly amazing art right here! That and the game is great too, a light auto game where you have to watch your water and health, as you grow plant leaves to overcome your obstacles. The pests aren't so much bugs as they are black squares. I agree that if cubes of dark matter start appearing in your garden, I would also consider it a pest. Some art replacing them of bugs and such would have made it more immersive, compared to the rest of the amazing visual style of the game. I think the idea for the game is solid, make a stem and you can stack it, but only having it be 1 meter wide limits the creativity a bit. If you were able to hold right and make it a leaf platform, that would be pretty interesting, having incentive to collect water and health up high while dodging pest in the air. Depending on your generation start of the game, that's where most of the pest will be, in the air. And you'll have no real reason to go up there when you takes little effort to stay on the ground and collect and your plant stem goes only 1 meter wide. A great artsyle, a good core concept, fantastic game, add more.

Like the comrades, I would like a little introduction to the basic commands. Very nice and good game otherwise!

Thank you so much, we'll work on adding a simple control creen since you only need one button

The gameplay, music, art, simply amazing! I love this idea as its a simple, yet creative idea for 48 hours. I would of liked the difficulty curve to have been increased a bit, but overall, this game was awesome!

Developer

Thanks! we'll see if we can shift around the generation a bit to increase the difficulty

I really like this and keep coming back for more punishment! It can feel a little unfair sometimes but it's nice to play.

Not much instruction so I was avoiding the things which give you life for the first couple of goes because I thought they were fire. 

Shame you didn't have time to create some artwork for the black boxes because, like others have said, it otherwise looks and sounds really polished. 

I like the zoom out effect when you grow several plants underfoot - it would be good if the player could also control this so you can see what's above you and decide whether it's worth growing a tower of plants or not.

Developer

Alright, we'll work on those art pieces right away! as for The camera effect, we'll have to look into thta. ALl in all, we're glad you enjoyed the game!

Liked the art! Gameplay didn't feel super smooth because the player stopped every time planting a plant. Other wise good game!

Great art!

Was very unsure how to play this game. 

There was no indication for controls inside the game or on the game's page. 

However, I found the art for this game excellent. 

Developer(+1)

thank you, the control is "space".

Submitted(+2)

Looking really good visually. I didn't really see any indication of what the controls are? But from what I guessed "Space" grows a platform(didn't see any other controls?)

Cool little endless runner. Not quite my taste but seemed to work well.

Developer

thank you, the page has been updated, the control is {Space} to grow...

Did you really make the artwork in just 48h? amazing! Regarding gameplay, I'm not sure I understand everything but I enjoyed it! Great work!

Developer
