Good design! Interesting idea, but don't have challenge :(

Submitted

The theme of growth is expressed by moving background vertically. That is really nice idea!

Submitted

Super cute, simple but solid game!

Submitted

fun game but a little boring

Submitted

Cute game, could use a counter of how many apples you dodge. Great work! Keep it up!

Submitted

Maybe something is wrong the way it's loading in my browser, but the character disappears off-screen and the game ends before even getting close to an apple. Very cute premise and use of assets, though!

Developer

Thats... weird. No-one else has reported that as a bug yet so I appreciate you telling me about it!

Submitted

The game looks fun, but the same thing happened to me.

Submitted

Nice idea and cool concept, cute graphics also. I noticed that the apples seem more like flying than falling, that is because of the speed that they are falling compared to the speed that the background trees (left and right) are falling. if you watch carefully, you'll see that the apples are going upwards relative to the trees. Of course, that is negligible, and it doesn't really effect the experience.

Great job, well done!

Submitted

Cute use of the assets. As other have said it looks like the character is flying instead of growing. Also maybe some kind of score/time indication would be nice? Could be a cute mobile game!

Submitted

Nice idea! I think that the worm should grow instead of just flying upwards, also when I got to the top of the screen I expected it to complete the game? When the tail disappeared off the top too I also got no completion screen? Needs some sounds and polish but pretty cool nonetheless!

Submitted

Nice one! The camera seemed to go a tiny itsy bit faster than the character moved so he ended up disappearing off the bottom of the screen eventually. It was a bit too easy to exploit the game by just going up against the wall. It would be nice if it got faster or more difficult, and you had a score indicator. There were really nice touches though and you put the visuals and controls together really nicely.

Thank you for the comprehensive reply!

I did try to remedy the issues you presented in the last stretch of the gamejam but could only do so much with the time I left myself.

Submitted

That's the way of game jams eh. I enjoyed it nonetheless!

Nice little game. Agreed with what Pretty Fly Games said, needs SFX and music.

Submitted

Great little game. Nice responsive controls but would have loved some SFX and music.
