@TerraCottaFrog Oh yeah! oops! I meant to change the distance and height of the camera before submitting... I wonder if that's allowed.

Great graphics, fun gameplay, only thing I didn't like was that some times I couldn't see the obstacles and ended up dieing. I got a score of 1975!

Beautiful, I really like it :)
I had a problem that when I click Start it clicks the Exit button. So I have to click above the Start button.

I really like the music in this game!

This is one of the best, most polished games i've seen so far. Excellent work, taking the rotation concept and expanding it into something more interesting!

This looks really neat. Any chance for a web or mac build?

Really cool game.
I honestly don't think the camera being close is that much of a problem, it means you have to make sure to not end up on the wrong side of the vine, adding to the gameplay.
On the other hand I don't think the game gets difficult fast enough.

Gee this was really fun. The core gameplay was great. I think someone might have said this, but a changing camera position would be better, because sometimes it felt like there was no way you could see upcoming obstacles. Fantastic game, and great use of theme!

Fun gameplay, simple concept and decent graphics. Good job. :)

The WebGL build didn't work that well. The Unity web plugin works great in Firefox, so it would be nice to have that version available for better usability. Not scoring for now because of the download-only versions.

The graphics look nice though! Like Grow Home meets Wipeout. Nice audio too, though you don't have an audio voting category.

@GAFBlizzard I've swapped out the WebGL Build in favor of a webplayer. :)

Very good mechanics. Only problem for me is sometimes it's really hard to spot obstacle and it gets kinda random. Solid entry nonetheless!
GAFBlizzard14 Dec 2015, 20:27
@mactinite the web player works a million times better, thanks! I'll play and rate. :)

I enjoyed this. Good job!
Just as a heads up, the .pdb files in Unity 5 builds aren't needed - I don't know why it puts them there, but you could shave some size off the download by removing them. (Not that it's terribly big to begin with.)

Great job. Really good game. Reminded me on another entry "Pete and the Beanstalk", but your 3D game is really cool. Fits the themes nicely. Well done.

I felt like is was on some kind of party ship headed to the club at the top of a beanstalk, nice work!

really fun game and controls really smoothly

Fast past and addictive, I like it. I was going to praise the music especially, but I guess you didn't create it since audio is unrateable? Ah well, good choice anyway and a great game overall.

Seems like someone played too much of a certain Mario Kart 8 track :-)
The game plays really smooth, nice physics. Feels right. It could have used some sound, but the rest is pretty cool!

Good music choice though I guess you didn't make it since there is no audio category? The graphics look nice. I got 1574!






The controls felt a little off, however, but that wasn't a big deal. The camera was, though. It seemed to close in and didn't give enough time to react with the large curve of the vine.
Great work!
