Puzzle 2D platformer incorporating both the "Growing" and "Two Button Controls" themes.
Controls are left and right arrow keys.

The project was a bit too ambitious for my first Ludum Dare, especially since I've never finished a game before. As a consequence the game never really made it past the prototype stage and I didn't get to use half tiles I made.
Oh well, I hope it's still somewhat enjoyable.

I like the look and groovy feel to this game. Although, I feel like the 2-button controls held the platforming of the game back a bit. Still, nice work :)

I enjoyed this, though the moving platforms were a bit finicky. I loved your interpretation of "growth"!

I don't like how it felt that the game made decisions for me. For example automaticly jumping. Some of the animations and gameplay was shuttery. I liked the graphics though and the idée.

This is good! Really cool ideas and mechanics, for the short time I was able to progress in the game there were quite a few surprises. Nice level design as well. Having played no less than 3 games already, this surely is the most original one. :D

The animation was a bit weird a times, but overall the game was great. Good job using both themes as well!

Very good platformer (liked the smaller screen like in the handheld consoles)
The biggest growth felt satisfying after dying many times to the platforms ;)

Really, really good.
I really want to see a full game now.

Nice start, but don't get how to get to second stair to the torch, even if I eat the seed...

Cool game, the auto-jump mechanic was odd at the start, but I got used to it pretty quickly. I like some of the puzzles it offered too, like having to go under the floating block rather than above by backtracking a little bit for the second 'seed.' Fun idea!
