Grow Up! by sergear

[raw]
made by sergear for LD34 (JAM)
Hello!
I and my wife made it 3 days and it is our first jam so do not judge us strictly.

On a distant planet, where life is just beginning arise, started life a lonely flower.

He was unlucky to be born, like his other brothers and sisters, under the warm rays of the sun (possible). The dark cave became his home, full of mysteries and dangers.

Help the flower will survive and grow up.

Are you ready?

Use arrows or A+D to play.

I can't play it:/ Google Chrome can't run WebGL applets, Unity applets, Java applets and many more. Try adding a download link.

Fun game, and very pretty! The music was also good, as in it didn't really irritate me and when I noticed it I liked it. The controls could be better and sometimes you encounter situations that you can't avoid (like a worm crawling out of the wall and blocking of the path when rock thing is also floating down. Good job!

Cute. But it seems that sometimes, obstacles cannot be avoided.

Very impressive and innovative, stunning graphics, and fitting music choice to improve on the mood. Fun to play and addictive. A good deal of wacky things are thrown at you and you eventually learn how to avoid them. I'd imagine this would work well as a mobile game.

Love the aesthetics!
Some obstacles are a bit too fast to dodge :)

Fits the theme very well and the overall feel of the game was wonderful, I loved the art style. The only annoying thing was bouncing balls... they always hit me before I could react.

Wonderful aesthetics, but the randomization of enemies is frustratingly difficult. So many impossible spots...

Good work with both themes, and I really like the graphics. Good sound too!

Fits both themes very well! I love the graphics, very well done! I was never able to make it very far because of unavoidable situations causing me to die -- maybe I was missing something there.

Too hard some time (not fair when you cannot see what's coming) but good mood and nice visuals!

Nice graphics and music. Really like the overall look (except the font I guess :))
A bit hard (impossible?) to avoid some falling things.

Sometimes obstacles can't be avoided but other than that really nice game!

Nice game! very pretty. It is a bit frustrating how sometimes those purple things come straight out the blue and are impossible to dodge, but otherwise, really solid.

Pretty fun game! It was a bit frustrating at times though, the physics screwed me over a few times and the hitboxes are too big in certain places (for example: http://i.imgur.com/hUM09Sy.png) The music/sound was pretty good. Overall a pretty good game :)

It's a bit frustrating to have an unavoidable pellet fall down and instakilling you, but nice game overall!

Congratulations on this first jam!
It was a little hard for me to survive while climbing the cave, but overall looks very good. :)

Really nicely crafted; the sound, speed and visuals work really well together. Enjoyed it!

Thank you very much for your comments!
Sorry for some bugs and difficulties. If there would be more time to balance it better :D

Gorgeous graphics, nice music. Well done! Items come down a bit fast sometimes, leaving you no time to react. Still plays very well though.

Game's very nice-looking, but the obstacles often can't be avoided, the suns and purple balls fall far too quickly giving no reaction time. And the obstacles sometimes hide behind others, again giving no reaction time.
Core gameplay is solid, though (if frame-droppy at times), I just can't get past a few tens of points and level 1.

Nice music. Simple nice and moody game play. Well done!

I think you need to play my entry, it will be like looking in a pixelated mirror :)

Not to repeat the crowd but loved the graphics and thought the audio really fit well with it. Agree about the impossible spots but I have similar ones in mine so it would be hypocritical to complain to much.

I really love this game.
The art style is fantastic and the game play is simple enough.
Good job!

I had exactly the same idea for a growing plant when i first saw these 2 themes.
So what can i say, awesome idea :))
And nicely executed :D

Good stuff you two! :) Works well with both themes. The graphics are nice, but your colors are really well done. I think the colors work incredibly well here. It isn't terribly innovative but it was enjoyable to play nonetheless. :)

I can't feel what is enemy and what not.
But is a prety and cool game, congrats.

Graphics, music and the style in general is great. Gameplay is fun, too, but hitboxes need to be more clear. Also, sometimes the cave generation makes a complete dead end.

Great use of both the themes. Good graphics and I enjoyed the gameplay. It's sometimes impossible to avoid some of the objects though. A very well polished game.

I like the graphics - that's one lovely color palette! :)
The game itself is quite frustrating at times since there is no way of avoiding some obstacles.. some collision issues here and there - but then again it pushes you to play more and try to get a "good draw" :)
Unfortunately didn't manage to get past Level 1 (but tried hard).

Also - you must be very brave people to use Comic Sans ;)

Very cool game. The growth mechanics are pretty cool. Good job!

Nice color palette and graphics.
The mechanics ok, but the collision fail sometimes.

I hope you develop more the mechanics to mobile!

The graphics are cool! The gameplay is tough though, and it's not always clear, what I can pickup and what will kill me

Beautiful graphics! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/Fm6iQk47yZ0
