The character you play as is a girl with the magical powers to make plants grow (instantly!) and to spin/fly through the air.

Which theme(s) do you pick?
5. 籠原, but a different bad translation.

How does your game fit those theme(s)?
籠 translates to "Cage" and 原 translates to "Meadow", so the game is in a meadow of cages.

I liked this a lot! The low-poly artwork is fun, and the character controls quite nicely. I would love to see this implemented into a full game, with fully fleshed-out environments and mechanics.

Thankyou! Wanting to see this as a full game is very high praise :o

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Really nice! There's a good amount of movement options that all feel pretty nice to use and maneuver around with! I think this would be a game that'd be really interesting to speedrun!

Just a bit of a nitpick, it seems like the nectar counter on the first two levels don't have accurate nectar counters (unless I was missing another 50 or so). 

Developer(+1)

Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed the game!

Speedrunning kinda works, but the skips in there at the moment aren't quite what I'd hope for.

Also, whoops, I forgot to change the max nectar counter across levels. (>﹏<。)

Thanks for playing!

Played this on brower and mac, it works well but would be great if there’s a keyboard version for “Dust” since it doesn’t work for me TwT)b also adding an option to run would be great too

I enjoyed playing it ^^) spinning to attack is fun and I like the theme interpretation :D

Developer

Hi, thanks for playing!

For the "Dust" move, is it that the right-click isn't registering, or that it isn't very comfortable to do? I think I'll have to make a menu for re-binding controls to fix this kind of issue in the long-term (>_>).

I was worried my theme interpretation would accidentally come across as "dungeon of cages", so I'm glad you liked it!

The character moves too slow.

Also, the HTML version doesn't load the game. I must download the Windows version to play.

It is a good thing to give the option to use a joystick to play.

I like the sweet character. I just find it a bit difficult to use the attack when jumping. Is there a way to activate the “spin” via the keyboard?

Developer(+1)

Thankyou, I worked really hard on them!
The spin can also be done by left-shift. (I uh... didn't figure out how to make re-bindable controls in time)
Thanks for playing!

I had a random crash too when I pressed right click after getting to the top! I like playing it just wish the character would stop quicker rater than sliding. Really good effort though :) 

Developer(+1)

Hi, thanks for playing! The sliding around was a bug I missed just before the submission deadline (; n ;), and I've fixed it up now. Glad you liked the game despite that! :D

The game froze up for me for a bit too, and returned control after a long delay; otherwise, the polish and platform design is great!

Developer(+1)

Thankyou! The game-freezing lag should be a lot better now, but the fix makes the game take longer to load.
I'm glad you enjoyed!

the game crash when i try to jump/spin the sapling.
But overall i think the game is great. the art style is good for a game jam. the game mechanic works quite well (until i hit the game freeze problem). I like the idea of a platformer game with the protagnist doing ballet to attack and dash.  it's so elegant

Developer(+1)

Hi, thanks for playing my game! I think I've fixed that kind of crash. If not, there's now a downloadable version (for windows) which should hopefully run better.
The art took me super long to do, so I'm glad you enjoyed it! "Elegant" was the kind of feel I was going for with the movement abilities :D
