This was so fun and addicting, I sat there for a good while determined to beat it. I finally got there in the end, but I had a few runs dashed by a bug.

Sometimes leaves would fall on top of the larger bushes and get trapped, this happened to two of them and ended some runs early.

Those pterodactyls are so annoying, great design choice to have them able to knock the leaves around, adds another layer of difficulty. 

Honestly put some music/sfx and fix the issue with the bushes and you've struck gold.

Also forgot, all the artwork is top touch too, so well done. Great work.

I had one glorious run where I made it pretty far but those pesky dactyls got me. Super hard but cool concept! It was very satisfying when doing it well. Love the artwork, so cool!

Fun idea. Very difficult. I like the graphics. Good job!

I liked the concept. My only conplaints are that I was also trying for a few minutes to find out how to go up and after finding out that you need to eat the leafs (the stack of leafs next to you and the ones falling down) I was still struggeling to keep up with the speed of the rising water, especially at the start. Maybe you could change it so that the water starts rising after consuming the first leaf?

The graphics are cool!

Couldn't figure out how to actually play though. Tried for ~5 min and hit every button on my keyboard, tried to click on everything, and just couldn't figure out how to go up :(

Super idea, took me a while to figure out how I can go up. Very hard, but nice hand drawn images. Good job.

This is actually a fun game, super simple and straight to the point. Also love the graphics you have here. Only concern was the game was too hard, the water rise up quickly that the falling leaves cant keep up.

Congrats!

Really nice concept. The controls didn't feel frustrating for me as I'm pretty used to mouse-only games. That said, the difficulty seemed a bit arbitrary at times. Sometimes I died almost inmediately due to a huge swarm of pterosaurus spawning all at once.

Also, it took me a few tries to understand what was going on and where my spikes were. A simple image or short tutorial would be really helpful for first-time players.

I think adding a high score marker of sorts based on survival time, height reached or something similar could be an awesome addition to keep players playing and coming back to beat their high score.

Such a cool concept and I loved the art. The controls were pretty frustrating, and I could barely make it out of the first 30 secs or so, but I think with the difficulty tuned down a bit it could be super fun.
