Feels like a breath of fresh air! Really innovative take on the genre. Great job!
Thanks for the kind sentiments!
This is very nice! The sound design and atmosphere really kept me captivated. It gives off an air of mystery and intrigue.
I'm not sure if this is intended or not, but the vines tend to snag me a lot while I'm walking on top of them, which tends to get me killed. Other than that, it was very enjoyable! I'm especially impressed with the vine growth -- that part blows my mind a little, haha!

Thank you for the kind comments!
I'm realizing now I developed a habit of jumping all the time while testing, which makes things much easier. Getting by with mostly walking is still possible, but definitely harder.
Haha, I have the same jumping habit in a lot of games, so I feel you there!
Really like the concept! I would make the first level a bit easier, or at least try to make it more introductory. I wasn't sure what to do at first. Then again, if you just call it a skill issue, I wouldn't argue :P
Thanks for playing! I am a fan of having little to no tutorials, so we'll see haha.
Edit: After playing some other games, I realized that my lack of a main menu gives zero time for the player to "strap in." That and maybe a level zero where the player just walks from point A to point B might help introduce the game better.
Hey I love the idea but I can't beat the second level, not only it's very hard but it seems impossible to me, the 4th vine start growing at the same time of the 2nd and 3rd, therefore blocking the way.
Thanks for the feedback!
Really cool game! I love what you did with the vines.
Hello fellow tree enjoyer, thanks for checking out the game!
