Woot, awesome. I love the concept of it. It's too hard though. But who cares, this is so amazingly well executed!

Aaaah, a fellow swede, always nice. Retro feeling! me like. It was quite hard, can you win? There are some swedish text in the scroller: "Ha det gott och lek inte med maten". It means, "Have a nice day and don't play with the food".

Excellent pixel art, and the grappling hook is very fun. I found the lack of progress frustrating though. It would be nice if there were levels to work through or at least a highscore to beat. Also the pigs were frustratingly difficult to kill.

Wow, this is an excellent game! Great graphics and sound, and really fun to play, too. And the grappling hook... you can jump to certain death, grapple a platform, and sling yourself around while shooting flying pigs and collecting their eggs! I love this game! The only reason I stopped playing was because I have to eat, and there's more entries to vote on. ( Also, love the scroller in the title screen. The world needs more scrollers =) ).

Cool Game, although short-lived. I found the graphics to be similar to the Sega Genesis, so instant 5 from me there

It looks and sounds really nice. And having the beanstalk shift around is a nice touch. But even though it's set up like a good platformer, there's nothing much driving the gameplay after messing around with it for a minute or two.

Oh so cool. I love the entire retro arcade feel. Sound, music, graphics, gameplay, controls. It's all there. It comes together as being very complete. Very finished. Very polished.

This is just excellent. Docked a couple of innovation points because it plays pretty standard, though the grappling hook is really well-integrated and the never-ending beanstalk provides an excellent base from which to build randomly generated levels. I thought your graphics were gorgeous before you redrew them all, personally, but they're still excellent now. Music and sound effects fit in perfectly with the low-fi theme and don't get old.
My biggest complaint is that I seemed to "run out" of ammo at random, especially when doing battle with a fast-approaching pig. This made the pigs a lot more annoying than they should've been. The only other improvements I can really think to offer are things that would be basically new games; like, what if you ditched the pigs and made the plant grow a lot faster and maybe reworked the grappling hook more so that it was more about fast-paced swinging from leaf to leaf? Yeah, good luck fitting that into your last couple of hours and finding out it didn't work so well anyway.

This is awesome.. just like xjump, but fun, challenging and stylish! It sometimes feels a bit too difficult, though. Maybe a few more heart drops would have helped.. and the pigs could take on less candy to die. Also, I'm used to have the shot/jump buttons the other way around, so I frequently press the wrong one... but that's of course not your fault! (Men du bestämmer inte om jag får leka med maten)

I had a great time playing this game. It doesn't have any particularly innovative elements but they combine together quite nicely to produce something which feels new. It's a shame you can't see your highscore after you die though.

MikeHommel: - Fun=5 Innovation=3 Production=4 Graphics=5 Sound=3
At least competent in every way. Really great graphics, and great gameplay - dealing with the constantly changing landscape as the pigs come at you is tense. And of course, you found my weakness: grappling hooks! Hooray! I can't rate it too high for innovation, as it's basic platforming. The only really unique thing is the nature of the landscape, but it definitely works well. With a tweak or two, it could be the next Icy Tower.

My favorite Excellent theme compliance.

Rale: - Fun=4 Innovation=4 Production=5 Graphics=5 Sound=5
Best entry there is! Looks and sounds really good. Background colorslide is superb G. Hook and possibility to drop your character from a platform make the gameplay interesting. You can do lots of weird moves and tricks to avoid the flying.. porks. This gives a lot options for player and so makes the gameplay have quite a lot of depth, which is what most games here don't have. And Hey! Normal people don't come up with ideas of games where little girls are in a evergrowing flowerworld with flying porks to feed candy to.. Wonder what medication you are on (just to get some for next contest)!

It isn't really playable on my box, I can't imagine it is supposed to run so blazingly fast that you can not even read the scrolltext. Or is it?
Note from DrPetter: It depends on vsync to keep the speed reasonable - make sure you do not force vsync to off in your gfx drivers

Best production, interesting style. Very nice smooth controls and player movement! Currently not to much to do in the game, one level / one monster / etc.. but could turn into a funny platform game. Nice work for the 48h.

A very fun, highly polished jump'n'run game! I liked it very much. The only unfortunate element is that a jump'n'run is not very innovative.

xaver: - Fun=3 Innovation=2 Production=3 Graphics=4 Sound=4
Randomly-generated platform type game, maybe 'too' random at times. At least the grappling hooks adds some depth to the gameplay, otherwise it would've been just standard fare. The growth theme is used in several ways, with the enemies growing when hit and the beanstalk. I found the controls a bit awkward (why not a single button for the grapple?) and health powerups too infrequent based how easy it is to get hit.

I really like this one, great platformer action. Quite difficult, I will be trying again later (its in my keepers folder). Funky little sound track to boot - very retro feel. I like it

Deepflame: - Fun=5 Innovation=5 Production=4 Graphics=3 Sound=3
Awesome game! I had a lot of fun playing it, though at some points it was hard to figure out the next step. The flying pigs were a nice addition too.
