NOTE: Because of the Theme tie, we allowed everyone to pick either Theme. Using both was optional. To keep things simple, there will still only be one Theme category. Every category in Ludum Dare voting is an opinion, so you’re welcome to rate them as you see fit. But we encourage you to be fair in your scores to people that chose only one Theme, and not both.
ALSO: Itch.io has an experimental game downloader over here. You may find it useful.

This fit perfectly for a mobile game. It's funny to see how our brain want to click on the side where is the rock :D
I love the music :p
Nice little game, but sometimes the growth triggers more than one time, especially when I held down the button. If I were you, I would change it so it triggers when you let the button grow. I died because of this sudden growth every time :/
HAHAHA super cute! love it, and I agree with Ogniok - fits both themes perfectly
Well done!.
Uh, nice chiptune music. Also fits very well with the graphics , gameplay and sound of the game. The jump sound when growing really made me feel like playing an old nintendo game.
Themes fit both perfectly.
Very nice solid execution. Enjoyed playing it a few times.
Really good game. My highscore is 59. Flower Power! Good Job :)
Perfect! Fits the jam and has a fun, simple and addictive gameplay. It could be a hit with more variety and a better looking HUD. Props to you!
Wow, you just hit the nail on the head with this game. Simple, captivating and repecting both themes. Hats off to you !
Both themes incorporated, nice!
This game is a lot of fun, infuriatingly hard the further up you get, but always feels fair.
Good job!
Nice and simple entry that's fun to play. You managed to make a very addictive game, I stopped at 97.
Brilliant game! Fit the theme perfectly, music was awesome, graphics were spot on. A really fun, well thought out game. My highscore was 150, though it took me about 15 minutes to get that xD Good work! :D
GREAT JOB. Fits both themes, is challenging, nice graphics. The sound is good with the background beat only starting to get noticeably repetitive after several plays. Agree with the comment that this'd be a good mobile game and I imagine you'd be able to add features/amp difficulty with additional effort.
Great work! I really like the idea of switching buttons when flower's growing. But sometimes when i'm playing she dies without pressing any button. It's perfect for a mobile phone
It take me a little time to understand the timing part ("but... Why am I die ?!") but entertaining game, good job ! :)

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Woah, it fits for both themes perfectly, good job!
