A solid game. The lighting was gave a good atmosphere to the game. I wish the window size was perhaps a bit bigger and there was more navigation space left and right. Perhaps some other types of obstacles. Overall, the game needs a unique twist for the experience to really impress, but this is a functional arcade classic.

Simplistic but efficient ! I felt weird at the beginning because there was no music, just sounds of water drops. The mood is special, and I think you should have improve something here to make it a innovative game. Few Lights, Piano music, Drop Sounds, they are the beginning of something but it stops here. It's average to me, but congrats, you have done well !

Got high score of 6100ish~
At first I was like "could this just start to speed up allready..." and was ready to give up. But then the music fired up at just the right moment to make me keep playing ;)
The game is very nice (if we dont count the slow start!)

Nice good little game.

*If you want a high-score don't get the water droplets just be patient and slow
*Why press space to play? you were so close to both themes!

Seems like the Linux and OSX versions seem unstable and not playable. Instead of trying to fix it. I decided to remove them. Sorry for the trouble and thank you for telling me. :)

Nice and simple!

I like how the music gently walks you through the gameplay: it makes the whole "underground" setting very believable.

Also, nice use of lights for visual feedback. Congratulations! :)

If I had a nickel for everybody who made a plant growth game this LD, I'd have like 3 bucks.

In all seriousness, cool game. I like the lighting effects.

Nice little game! I like the ambient lighting and sound effects along with the gentle music. Makes me feel like I'm actually growing through the earth.

I enjoyed this game, got fairly repetitive after a while though.
