This is so engaging, a really perfect case of using simplicity. I wish you provided more context about the game. I wonder if there is anything I missed other than dandelions.
First of all: Took me like a minute to figure out who my character was. Should probably have made it a windowed in a small window.
Overall game impression: Overall, I really liked the incredibly simplistic pixel art style honestly. The environment was really pretty, the creatures looks really nice and fitting. The movement speed was perfect. Sound effects are great and fitting. The dying scene is also really cool, something many games don't have. It is a fun and great little game. Don't see much as far as "running out of energy" goes honestly... so not very fitting to the theme I think, the only time u get any kind of "running out of ___" feel is when you're gliding on the dandalion. Gameplay needs more variety i'd say. Gliding and running is fun but having some kinds of obstacles besides an occasional walking around enemy would give a nice variety to gameplay. BUt that's just me being picky. I really enjoyed the graphics and the sounds as well as the physics, movement and overall gameplay experience, it was fun, soothing and pleasant. Good job and good game :D
Suggestions and comments on improvement: Make the game windowed instead of fullscreen. Make the player character more obvious and make it stand out, it's really hard to tell your character apart from all other entities on the screen. Allow climbing down once u start climbing up, I disliked that I couldn't climb back down. And I think an ability to jump wouldn't hurt.
This was beautiful. The sound design was so fitting and it was so atmospheric. I couldn't really figure out what else to do so I just wandered around for a bit and enjoyed the scene, well done!
(p.s. I found a bug where if you climb up a dandelion you've already used once you jump and then fall into the void)
Ok first i didn't get how to get over the enemy until i read the comment with "climb". I love how climb xD... it was really funny to see the little guy move around. Maybe there should been flying enemies too. But i like this little relaxing journey. Nice work.
The minimalistic looks and explaination intigued me. At first I didn't know how to pass the first monster. Then I took a look at your screenshots and found a hint. After that it was smooth sailing. A nice and somewhat relaxing experience. Though I expected the game to continue to another level or end one I reached the far end to the right. The end?
Anyway. Interesting game, with minimalistic but beatiful graphics, controls, sounds & music!

You can FIX this with alt-enter to go to windowed mode!
