My current high score is 8430 Joules! I loved the visual style in this game and chasing down each of the bright spots; I would have liked to be able to move faster, but I guess when you are a flower you take whatever movement you can get. I liked strategizing about which of the two available spots would be better based on the likely distance to the next sunspot. Also creative use of the sunset theme!

Developer

Thank you! You have one of the highest scores so far :D Glad you liked it!

The sunflower is so adorable with that happy dancing animation :D I like the core idea of collecting sun energy and grid worked well with that. Only thing I would consider to add is some indicator when flower is collecting light (besides points) Maybe particle effect or some sound effect. It would feel more satisfying ❀(⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)❀

Thank you so much! Actually there is a small visual effect when the sunflower is on the lighted grid but we can add sound effect as you said :D

nice game. i like the idea. I found a bug where if you are in the bottom corner and hold down the up arrow then you break free from the map and escape into the sunset which is fun. 

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! We found that bug too, but we enjoyed it so much that we left it as it is :D

Simple but fun idea! Nice music choice as well. I had no problems with the controls and everything seemed to work nicely.

Great fit for the theme! I did not get used to the controls so fast. Best soundtrack so far :-). Well done!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! Yes, the controls are a bit confusing, this is the only challenge of the game :D
