I don't really get what's going on but it is mesmerizing. Actually reminded me a little of Starseed Pilgrim if that's what you were going for =D

Your description of it being slow, is very accurate!
Dang, this is really cool. It taught me two things. I don't know how to grow things, and I am not patient enough. Love the audio and procedural nature. Great work!
I love this toybox un-game style. Great choice of sounds, I left it turned up despite your advice. :)
Had to play it a couple of times to figure out what to do, so maybe more instructions would be helpful. Not particularly fun (or maybe I'm just too impatient), but definitely moody and interesting. I liked the graphic style that was simple but had lots of detail.
Cool idea, I enjoyed playing around with it.
Thanks all for the feedback!
karsyf: Haha, I've been playing a lot of SP lately, it definitely shows.
Jerm: I agree that I probably should have included more instruction with it (I tend to get the impression that people can read my mind, I should stop that).
I wish I had the vaguest of clues of what to do, I really wanted to enjoy this! Sounds really pretty though. Rated you well for the screenshots of what clearly could have been.
Very moody, not much instruction. Seed selection could use some graphics, but I'm sure you ran out of time. Very interesting work.
Hypnotic!
looks good! =)
This game is a discovery! :)
Now that I get it...I think it looks really neat and I like the sounds. Mechanically it didn't strike me, but the "metal album art" generator aspect of it is appealing. And I don't even like Metal. or Metal album art.
The atmosphere of the game is very engaging.
Loving the abstract visuals even if I have a hard time wrapping my head around what exactly is going on.
Really interesting patterns, and I understood (eventually) what you were trying to do with biological succession. I kind of wish it ran a little faster so I could see them grow in real time. Nice work!
