Gameplay notes (spoilery,  read if you're unsure about something):

  • Sometimes the flower is hidden behind an obstacle, in level 1 and 2 hit the root/branch to unlock the path
  • In level 4, you need to hit the teleporters on top to access the flower
  • Even though this is a platformer, you move on a grid, plan your movements accordingly and explore a bit to get a feel of where you can move.
  • Peasy difficulty has no enemies if you just want to explore the levels
  • You can kill enemies when going down vines
  • You can kill enemies when falling
