The music's great too, upbeat and exciting, perfect for the way it plays. The graphics are beautiful and polished, the gameplay is smooth, my mind is blown by it all. I have no idea how you'd begin to program that, I still have a lot to learn...\r\rAh but anyway, this was fantastic. My only complaint is that as it gets faster, it becomes -almost- impossible to grab the flowers due to the delay between teleporting to a side and then jumping. You pretty much need to just be lucky enough to have a flower heading towards you on the same side of the plant (though this did happen).\r\rOverall I love this game, and I see why Modoc73 recommended it.

Perhaps pete would have to jump quicker over time to compensate for that or make them spawn a bit sooner. I might have to experiment with that!\r\r@ajopart no extra lives unfortunately heh\r\rTo people who were interested about the "tech" behind it:\rThe beanstalk itself is a procedural generated mesh and follows an invisible target that moves at random intervals. The thorns and flowers spawn on the side of the stalk at random locations and intervals as well, so that every run is different from the previous."},{"author_name":"DieBackStudios","author_uid":"62053","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 9:18am","epoch":1450170780,"text":"Awesome i loved it :) best ld-34 entry i have seen till now simple yet addictive :) and music amazing man.
