Ludum Vitae by Slothmachine
//There is a random 2-5 second freeze in middle of the game. I have no idea why, yet.
In this LudumDare I did a solo run. And made a thing… Not sure if it is a game.
But it’s pretty short. Time is precious. Have fun!

Would prefer more options in terms of gameplay, maybe colors?
I hit a freeze during two playthroughs, but I really enjoyed this nonetheless!
Great job on this, it's beautiful. This is one of the best games I have played in Ludum Dare so far, well done!
Thanks for the game, I hope to see you make more games in future Ludum Dares!
The mood is perfect, the graphics are neat and the overall idea is lovely.
I wish there was a way to see other's plants online.
Good job :)
Music was amazing
Also it sometimes don't let you grow a pixel directly between two black pixels, that makes it hard to create really great art. :)
Clever concept and the visuals as well as music tied showcased the mood really well. in terms of gameplay it was more open ended and artistic which didn't feel too much like a game, nevertheless I enjoyed it for what it was.
You could potentially expand this further and add some mechanics to turn it into more of a game per se. Either way I think this was a good entry that could have been pushed a bit more.
I felt a bit like the lines screamed to make a penis or something bad with them ... I wonder if it would have felt differently with little round bushes to create your plant out of or something similar.

Interesting experience. I liked graphics and music, really matching together. Fun game.

The aesthetics are great! I really liked how simple but effective the graphics are.
The only downside is the sound which are a too noisy and masked the music while not really corresponding to the overall mood. Well done anyway !
(Animating the pixels wooshing into place was a nice touch.)
