My first entry in Ludum Dare ever. This is terrible gaem, that took me 8 hours.

The goal is gaining score by growing plant. There are enemies: dangerous plants and kites.

Movement:
Hold arrow keys to move the character.
Press space to jump.
Hold shift for moving slowly.

ATTENTION! Due to bad reputation of yadi.sk fileloader, I just uploaded my game in Dropbox.

Like the combination of the two topics :)
It is a cool small game, I like it.

Sorry, didn´t see the controlls (I played it at the first time with only the arrows) nevertheless, still cool (if you play it with only the left/right arrow keys, it makes it a bit more challenging

Theres something about the start of this game that I really like, how the plants grow wherever you walk. Game itself is nice too. Well done :)

walking on the ground making all the plants come out is just hilarious

nice idea! i tried several times to find out that it would be better to step on ground at the beginning to grow more plantforms XD

Hey this is a really cool game. I enjoyed strategically making lots of branches to try to ward off birds. Simple yet challenging! Good stuff

This is a fun simple little game. The beginning with all the plants growing is an interesting mechanic - the player has to decide how many plants they want in the later parts of the game. Too few, and it might be hard to avoid obstacles; too many, and the player may become trapped.
