Definitely an interesting idea! As mentioned by others, a difficulty curve would make the gameplay more replayable. 

What might be another interesting touch but is probably pretty hard to do, is have the background have more dynamic growth. Instead of just shifting the mask back and forth, it would be cool if the newly "created" ground starts barren and has to "grow" (buildings erected and different flowers blooming). That would create something interesting to watch because the sections that last longer keep growing and doing interesting things. Then you could even go so far as to have the things done in those sections be tied to some events. For example, if the bebes start building deforesting materials suddenly they'll start taking over the grassland. The only way to stop it is to help the grassland over-power that section destroying the deforesting materials.

I don't know, those were just spitballs. Congrats on your submission!

tiny feedbacks:

- maybe the masking needs a transition from grass to dirt.

- random events:)

nice work <3

Interesting idea, and very nice music :)

With some additional variation this could be very enjoyable!

I like the art and it's a very satisfying click-smashing gameplay loop.  Got boring quickly though. Maybe additional random events and a story could make the progression more engaging.

I liked it but after getting to 317 it didn’t feel like it was getting any harder. Cool concept though and really well polished. Very nice art!

Thanks for your feedback! Sadly, we figured out lack of difficulty while rating period, so we couldn't make any changes.

No I totally get it, camera on my game makes it difficult to see the platforms you’re trying to land on but gotta wait to fix :D

This game has a good concept and pretty art. However, the game does get boring.

Verry pretty game. The sound is great. I think the my only problem was that is a little bit boring after a while, But I like the concept very much. Excellent use of the theme,
keep it up!
