Technical Info

-----------------

I wrote this game using Python2.7 and Pygame and compiled it for windows using py2exe. If you want to run it on other platforms you can download the source and run main.py. Ensure you have Pygame and Python2.7 installed.

How to Play

-----------------

There is a tutorial in the game, but basically you try to stay alive as long as possible. Your vine will constantly grow and you control its movement using the A and D keys. These turn the direction of movement your vine. There are two bars in the upper left hand corner. The blue one shows your water level and the yellow one your sunlight level. If they get too low you will start dying. Grow above ground for sunlight and grow in water to get more water. The longer you grow the more sun and water you need. Animals will come and eat you. If they eat parts of you in water and sunlight your sun and water levels will decrease. The gray box with a spinner in it shows you which direction you are traveling in.
