In Alpha Aphid you play as an aphid trying to make his way to the top of the tree. Only by collecting dew, growing stalks, evading evil aphids, and outwitting the tree can you make it all the way!

Alpha Aphid is an isometric puzzle game with simple controls and punishing levels. Climb high to jump large gaps. Get to the end and grow the final stalk to move to the next level.

I liked the gameplay. Difficult to tell when you need to restart though.

Cool challenging puzzles. Relaxing music. Beautiful green and red colors. Checkpoints?

I really like how it gets more foggy when you're higher. :)

Growing stalks is a really nice mechanic, and the game looks great!

With the isometric views it can be a little hard at times to know exactly which button you have to press though.
