This was fun, the growing vine was a nice implementation of the plant special object.

The only thing it could have done with is more clearly labeled controls like the others said. Once I worked them out though it was a nice little game!

I love the concept! I did find some bugs; whenever your vine hits something, you usually can't back out, your vine is just stuck. I couldn't find a reset key, so I just have to restart the game. You could add a pause menu where you can reset/quit the game, or add a reset key!

Also, I love the art and the audio, along with how satisfying it is to see the vine smoothly grow out!

Developer

Thanks!
You actually can make the vine go back with the "X", I should put some text inside the game to notify the player more directly
Thanks for the feedback

You have to hold left click to grow your vine in that direction to free yourself, it's not a platformer

Developer

Yes, sorry
I should've put some tutorial in to make it more comfortable for the player
You click and drag to draw the vine and with the "X" you can make the vine go back!
