Thanks for the feedback, main reason for the rotation is because I was going to add some obstacles but didn't get to it and every once and awhile a leaf will get stuck on an edge and rotating it will let you get to it.
I did think the opening cut scene was a little lone, I though that was all it was going to be at first since I couldn't do anything except move the giant leaf with my mouse!
Overall I think it was well done. The only thing I would like to see is visual changes of the leaves well they are on the tree. I had the first leaf and then I was sitting there waiting for them to change, must have had bad luck/timing because every time I clicked a tree they were still the same leaves!
Finally I got all the leaves and set about finding the recipes. I liked that discovery aspect of the game, well done!
Although I really liked the story it would be nice to be able to skip the dialog, not sure I want to sit through it every time if I wanted to play again.
I really enjoyed the game. My only complaint would be that I found it almost impossible to not get hit at the start of a level, maybe there is a trick I didn't figure out but with the enemies coming from every direction there was no where to go.
The upgrades were a great touch and give it some replayability and I really liked the look of the game. The music and sounds fit really well with the game.
I had some strange issues with the controls where my character kept looking down. It then crashed when I lost the game. I really like the concept though and with a little polish could be great.
My son has been making mario maker levels for a couple of years so now we are trying to move him to the next level!
I agree with the speed, the parallax is a good idea. The road and buildings are actually parallax layers so we could implement something like that pretty easily, thanks for the suggestion.
Great concept, it is surprisingly hard to stack but I had a lot of fun with it and kept wanting to try one more time to see if I could get a new high score.
