Caterpillar Crawl

Description/Controls

Play as a caterpillar, to transform into a butterfly.  As a butterfly, make your way to the flower to win the game.

Use 'A' and 'D' to move, 'Space' to jump (or fly once you're a butterfly).

There are two resources: health and morph.  When health reaches zero, the game is lost.  Health can be traded for morph by holding 'Q' (not enough to die, though!), and morph can be traded for health by holding 'E'.

There are health (heart) and morph (leaf) pickups around the map to help, which respawn after a time.  But watch out for the ants!

Your morph is empty to start out.  Get some either by exchanging health or finding a leaf pickup.  Once you have some morph, the 'W' and 'S' keys can be used to attach as a chrysalis to either the branch above or below, respectively.  Letting go of the key will drop to whatever is below, pressing 'Space' while attached will jump you to the branch above.  Holding on will gradually start to drain your morph resource, so don't wait too long.

Once your morph meter is full, attach to a branch using 'W' or 'S', and then press 'Q' to turn into a butterfly.  Fly to the center of the flower without dying to win!
