Cool game mechanic! The ball was very fast so it was a bit hard to control. Great use of the theme!

Suits both themes well.

Great game, you've made a tricky puzzle game that has really taken both themes and worked them into something that is a lot more deep than it initially appears.

Only comment I have is when I got trapped the first time it took me a short time to see the reset button in the top left.

Good job.

I don't enjoy your average puzzle game as much as some, but this is one of those exceptions that comes along every now and then. It takes a few levels to understand the mechanics, as it should. The mechanics are beautifully simple but make for a challenging game!
Due to the way the levels are designed and loaded, a level designer could make for incredible replay value.
The art is delightful, the mechanics are great and it makes for a fantastic game. I do hope you intend to develop this further, I'd be more than interested in playing a fleshed out release!

The concept was a bit hard to understand, but other than that great work!

Cool little puzzle game, very original! Nice progression of difficulty that let me learn the rules without much instruction.

Nice game, but the kind that would benefit greatly from relaxing music and controls that were limited to two buttons. You should make music and put this on the app store.

Simple, but clean graphics!
Gameplay nicely fits the theme, but sometimes the ball won't go where I think it should.

Really good stuff! Kudos for writing an Emscripten port as well. OS/X users like me really appreciate it!

I didn't understand how to use the white-flowered plants, but figuring out how to change directions to cover the most ground was neat. Understanding how exactly I was going to jump or change floors was a bit of a challenge at first, but I found that playing with it usually gave me the results I wanted.

Thanks for the upload! Super cool!
