Vine Runners is a game in which competing vines weave through obstacles and intertwine with each other. Whichever vine is last standing gets to bloom. Think minimal local-multi snake. Features 10 levels with beautiful palettes.
Don't worry, Vine Runners includes AI so you may play by yourself, but the fun really begins when you grab friends and family to do the vine tango with.
Supports gamepads but also has keyboard controls for up to four players!
*Download the game for higher graphics quality if you like the browser version!*
[Post Jam Bug Fixes v1.1 12/14]: When playing with many human players one or more gamepads could override all keyboard inputs. When quitting back to the menu, the main game theme would keep playing simultaneously with the menu music.
wow, very smooth movement, and best music I have heard so far this ludum dare, and this is my 41st review. graphics were great too. shame the ai were too easy
This is so soft, polished and sweet. Just like die Curve, but nicer. The AI is a bit retarted, but that is understandable. The music is very well chosen.
This game makes me happy. Great music, surprising variation in the levels and cool colors.
I thought it was gonna be another local multiplayer game where it would suck if you play on your own, but this is something else. I enjoyed.
at fist I was a bit confused about which I controlled and I also thought I couldn't hit any other lines. But as I found out, you just can. seeing this is so similar as tron gameplay-like, you probably should point out this is a bit different and you can actually go through the lines. Mabye more of a foreground/backgroud setup for the lines and leaves. the flower in the end is also super nice!
also, I like the white-ish level that is shrinking the most. I feel a this white-ish color works best together with all the colors and it looks nice when it's taking over the color space in this level.
I had some fun with it. the gameplay is not that interesting I must say, so I'm also not sure how long you would play this with friends. But for something in 72 hours, good job. also you make up for it with the level variation. it changes up gameplay a bit.

Great Idea... Fun gameplay, music very good, innovacion 100%... 4.8/5! It´s Really Fun!!!
Finally, a multiplayer game with AI. Thank you for making it.
It was very fun to play even against AI. Music and graphics fit each other, and the gameplay is well balanced between surviving and trying to mess up your opponents.
I was confused at first, since no controls are given. I didn't expect you to prefer spacebar over enter. Also, the fact that only moustaches (of course they are moustaches!) have hitboxes is unclear.
Very cool! I love the multiplayer component. A refreshing twist on a previous idea. Only other comment I have is that it is hard to tell at first which player you are controlling. Great work!
A very pretty and creative take on an idea I've seen a few times before. It must be a ton of fun when you have somebody to play with :D. I like that you can start a new game in a blink of an eye.
I loved this one! Can't wait to get some friends to play it with. The AI is pretty good though and this type of game was a great choice for multiplayer since the AI probably wasnt super hard to code. Very smart, good aesthetic, intuitive controls and mechanics (although it took me a minute to figure out which vine I was in single player)... good iteration time between games for single player; I had some nice relaxing fun with this one.

Very immersive gameplay, like it :)
