Growing theme. You are a plant that wants some sun. You can spawn other plants and climb them to get what you desire. Touch the sun (yellow square) (pointed by yellow line) in every level to beat it. Avoid the fire (red squire). Levels 1-4 are easy to play, but I haven't beaten the 5th yet. Please comment if you did. If you are stuck - press ESC and Enter to restart.
The spawn mechanic could be a challenge itself, but to my mind it's interesting enough to understand how it works. When you spawn a plant, you respawn at previously spawned plant (pointed by green line).
Controls:
Menu: Enter and left-right arrows to choose the level
Game: Arrows (up-arrow is jump) Space (to spawn a plant on your current position and respawn at previous)
Simple, but it does the trick. The platform mechanic is interesting, though the jumping was difficult to control, especially a few levels in. There was an odd shakiness to the picture for some reason, not sure if that's just me but I thought I'd mention it. Any, good work!
Pretty neat concept. It was an interesting puzzle trying to position myself to make the best platforms. I also liked the rotation physics. It added a nice challenge, since you had to consider the angle of your character when making platforms. Nice work!
Also, for my game, there should definitely be audio. If you can't hear any, just remember to score "N/A" for audio.
Neat concept. Needs a lot of polish. There is no information about the buttons in-game. The "grow" mechanic was not explained at all and your character seemed to jump to previous "block" instead of the one you created.
@DrTeaSpoon, if player dies, he will appear on top of the last placed block. If Space pressed, he will appear on top of the block placed right before the new one.
The grow mechanic was explained above, not in the game, my fault. You control an abstract plant that wants to touch an abstract sun and (here it is) grows avoiding abstract fire.
The idea is great. I think the passages could be a little (or a lot) wider. The fun parts are to build you own way to the end of a level with your copied. The non-fun part is dying after every jump because the ceiling is low =)
Difficulty curve is off the charts, level 3 is way too hard. There isn't enough introduction to mechanics in-game. The death sound and motion of the camera is very jarring, makes it extremely unfun to die. Spawn point mechanic is broken and is very easy to bug out the game with.
Cool concept, but the inconsistent jump heights render the game almost unplayable. I managed to beat 5 levels, but there was an error message when I hit enter after that. Also, I would have like an introduction to the "make checkpoint" mechanic, I didn't know about it until I peaked at the walkthrough for level 4.

Still, it was almost very fun :)
