How far can you grOw? Combining Ludum Dare 34's two themes of 'growing' and 'two button controls', grow your monstrous plant as large as you can in this simple arcade game.
Like the design, it's cool and has the potential to be addicting. a few additional powerups? make it so when you hit things it slows you down like if you haven't eaten a pellet for a while instead of just dying instantly?
There are tons of games like this, even within LD34, so can't give many innovation points. However, this is one of the best executions on the concept. Smooth gameplay, fantastic level design, gorgeous graphics. Add some relaxing music and throw this on the app store, it's a gem.
I love the visuals! And I like how eating the pellets makes you physically grow in all directions, naturally making the course harder as you go. couple bugs though: you can press 'down' to set your speed to a low amount, but consecutive presses speed yourself up greatly, allowing you to go all the way up without eating any pellets. also I got to the end eating all the golden pellets but 1, and the game says i got '8/8'. Nice job otherwise!
I got 180! The starting area is really nice, but then as you go up the terrain is more and more bland (and game-ey? Like not real or themed, you know.) I also found it a bit strange that you couldn't "grow" downwards at all - gameplay wise that restriction is fine, I just didn't expect it because there's no logical reason not to be able to grow down? Also had a bit of an issue where I couldn't figure out a restart keyboard shortcut. Overall really good!
This is definitely not the first game to interpret the theme in this way. Even still, this was a competent use of the theme with appealing graphics and a nice use of optional collectibles.
Cute game. What if pacman were a plant? It'd be a little like this, I think :) Love the simple storybook graphics. It works fine with no sound but some cute, warm sounds and music would add a lot! Good job on this.
Really polished and smooth gameplay! Nice work. It's challenging, but eventually you learn how best to approach each section of the level and you get further each time.
I liked this I played it for quite some time. Nice graphics (when I saw that first dot inside the O it made me smile, I like nice things like that) Nice job on the game!
