Hi,
Yes, that helps/explains a lot. Looks like I'm still to bad to collect enough branches before i get killed. ^^
I really like the style and the music of the game. But sometimes I think it is a bit hard to see, what's going on. E.g. I saw the branches falling in my first try, but they fall down on the right side. As they were not highlighted, I totally forgot about them. Maybe you can make them stand out a bit more from the background.
I hope you keep working on the game and look forward to playing an improved version of it.
