NOTE: THE GAME MIGHT TAKE A WHILE TO LOAD, SORRY ABOUT THAT!


Travel through a floating island, all the while avoiding  hostile insects and taking care not to destroy the whole thing in the process. And you get to do all this with a gun. 



MEET THE FLORA

Stockbush

This orange-leaved plant is renowned for its medicinal properties, as well as its incredible ability to survive underground where there's not sunlight. Nobody fully knows how this works, but that hasn't stopped them proliferating throughout the cave systems.

Flutterleaves


These elegant plants are much more delicate than the above bushes, but still manage to eke out an existence in the cold, uncaring underground - how resilient! They also seem to be slightly more intelligent than other plants; one of them has found a gun and started running around. I wonder who that could be.

Doodlevines


Known for constantly getting in the way of tall explorers' faces, these hardy vines are found everywhere where gravity is greater than 9.81m/s².  When you're not looking, they curl themselves together in a big knot to keep warm, but unravel when something approaches - they think it's embarassing to hug their friends!

Skykelp


A distant cousin of the doodlevine, this plant shouldn't actually be able to live up so far away from water, since it's aquatic life! Luckily for them, being so near to the clouds means they can get the moisture they need to survive so far from home.
Cloudberries

The only thing that's actually edible so far up in the sky (at least for most people) is the cloudberry produced by the cloudberry bush. You'd think that, being so rare, it'd be delicious - but no! The thing is so bitter and tough that there's no real point in eating it. Such a shame that they taste so bad!

MY THOUGHTS

Making this game was stressful - the final WebGL build was definitely unstable! Despite that, I still enjoyed making the game and I learned a lot in the process, particularly with particles systems. I might have gone too far with the amount of particle colliders I added but it definitely was fun to add. I also learned that WebGL is unreliable, and that sometimes it just randomly breaks, and I'm not salty about that at all. But it at least worked in the end, and I apologise that I had to use the development build!
