This was AMAZIIINNNGGGGG. Easily the best entry I've played so far, and I'll be genuinely surprised if it does not get first place because this to me is a proper 5/5 on every category. I played it for a full hour and had a ton of fun from start to finish. The design of every room was really engaging, and the progression was a proper perfect metroidvania progression. The story was really interesting, the way it fit the theme was flawless, and it just felt great to play. You really knocked it out of the park with this one!

Thank you so much for your nice comment. It really means a lot. Sincerely glad that you liked it.
I designed the levels. In what order did you get the abilities? The usual order is: Fertilize, Vine Crook, Pollinate, Tether, Wall Climb, Sprout.
There are two sequence breaks in the levels, which allow you to acquire the abilities in different orders and even skip 2 of them. These sequence breaks are in plain sight (not fake walls or hidden doors). Maybe you found them?
Also, what do you think of the last room? Was the puzzle with the box interesting enough to engage you to think a bit and solve it?
Thank you again,
Cheers
I did a sequence break with the blocks in i believe the east marsh area. I positioned the blocks in a way that allowed me to jump all the way up instead of climbing the vines, which I believe game me sprout before wall climbing.
I'll be honest though I accidentally cheesed the final room, the collider on the final heart thing was a tad too big, so I randomly attacked when i first entered the room and just beat it. So I didn't actually get to properly experience that final room
