Okay I figured out how to play the game.
So, the main problem is those huge fire trees always push you back so it becomes a matter of luck not having those spawn, right? Well, to an extent, but there is a way to advance. What you have to do is intentionally jump early on the other trees, so you hit near the top-right of the tree, and the tree will then push you to the right. So for all the fire trees that are forcing you left, you'll have to use this early jump technique on some of the normal trees to counter it. Otherwise you definitely lose after a few fire trees. The bad news? If you're too early and land on the top-left side instead of top-right side of the trees you'll get pushed even further left.
