Interesting and looks great.  More save points would stop a lot of the frustration.  It wasn't communicated that any powerups were awarded, or how to use them. I was stuck until I realized I could down attack on the green pod things, and I think the down attack was a powerup. The enemies seemed to be a little relentless, they had no knock back, so you were pretty much guaranteed to take damage. Also the flowers that had the homing seed things appear to persist for a really long time. While having the dialog with the giant, they appeared and I took damage from them and died.   Again, interesting and looks great but was a little frustrating.
