Rise by Crafting4U
Hi, I'm Crafting4U. I'm a 13 year old programmer, and this is my 6th time going into Ludum dare. I think out of all my entries, this one has been the best overall. I had a lot of fun about making this game, and I would like to know what you thought about the game.
I chose growing as the theme, because I didn't really like 2 button controls. The game only has 4 levels (not including the tutorial level), so its short but believe me, level design is a lot more time consuming than you think, especially with the amount of mechanics there is in the game.
I decided to opt out of audio, because eclipse was being mean. First of all, it didn't let me export the game all together, second it exported but it didn't play sound. It was fine with me because the sounds were used using a 16-bit sound generator, and they didn't affect the game that much overall.
There are a few bugs (like the game saying you didn't collect the coin when you have), but overall I am very happy with this game!
There is a tutorial/instructions in the game. Enjoy! :D

One of the levels crashed on me, though, and I had to restart. I think it occurred when I moved the mouse over a water tile. Here's the terminal output:

Awesome job!

I can't actually beat the first level since this happens too frequently.
You can hover in the air slightly if you hold the jump button down, and rubbing against walls while jumping boosts your jump as well.
The hitboxes on the obstacles are a bit unforgiving as well.
Good concept, though.
