These gnarly looking plants are doubt manifested in Johnathan's mind scape. They are dangerous and will restart the level if you come in contact with them.

Thank you

This is my first game jam solo (and game I've ever made on my own), I will be honest I had no idea what I was doing most of the time. I had a ton of fun though and I will definitely be making a habit of doing more. I wanna thank Lost Relic Games a huge thank you for hosting the jam and having such a wonderful and helpful community. I look forward to play some games!
