Samara

In Samara you control a seed drifting through the world trying to get to safety.  Spin into the air to drift upward and avoid obstacles till you reach the end of each level.

Gameplay and Controls

• A/D or <- / -> to steer, hold space to spin and lift into the air
  
• Collect Maple Leaves to refill your spin bar, game over if you run out!
• Hitting obstacles and spending too much time on the ground will drain your spin
• Reach the end zone
• Hit ESC at anytime to pause

Also known as helicopter seeds and whirlybirds, I loved collecting piles of these as a kid and making my parents watch me throw them in the air!
