Well, I'm already stuck on the first room. All I know is that I can die to the spikes, for whatever that's worth.
Neeever mind, I'm stupid.
Really good game!

absolutely incredible
ohohohohoho, devious. impaling myself on my many children and watering the earth with my blood is a very compelling game mechanic. final plant has me stumped >:P
Fun game!
Nice! Nice and tough but ultimately solveable.
nice! i enjoy killing myself on spikes now :)
This is probably my favorite of these games so far!
So much puzzle in such a small space. Loved it!
Excellent! I really enjoyed the progression of learning more and more tricks, in the same one-screen world. Very cute!
lots of interesting mechanics in such a tightly designed puzzle! loved it
