It gets easily lost against everything else going on visually). It's also not entirely clear that you're growing at all until you look at the text at the top. You seem guaranteed to run into a certain percentage of the rockets by design, meaning you make it about the same distance every time you play. If you could make it more feasible to dodge the rockets, and perhaps added a way to get health back over enough time, it could be a lot of fun trying to beat your own high score, but I don't think the mechanics are there yet.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>On a positive note, I like the programmer art. It's oddly charming."},{"author_name":"DesignerNap","author_uid":"21374","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 6:28pm","epoch":1450117380,"text":"THE PETALS ARE HEALTH! Nice touch!

Nice touch the detail of the petals as health.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Fun 2\/5: Funny for 3 or 4 attempts.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Theme 3\/5: Grow doesn't affect directly to the gameplay, also, controls are a reference to the two buttons theme?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Graphics 5\/5: Good combination of pixel art with the meme-faced flower :). Good enough for a 72 hours game.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Audio 3\/5: Two sfx. At least it have something.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Humor 5\/5: Loved the flower faces and absurd story.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Mood 4\/5: Some music would be great, but graphics make a funny atmosphere.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall 3\/5: Not bad, but needs improvements.

The gamelay it's very solid, and the grahis are really cool, for the next LD, i'd suggest to work a little bit more on the design of the gameplay, you've a lot of room for improvment in that area ^_^"},{"author_name":"thirteenthspiral","author_uid":"63900","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 11:38pm","epoch":1450135980,"text":"I'm confused on how to run the Windows download.
