Actually pretty cute! Didn't realize at first that I could grow trees, though.

Wow so cute and very good game!

I quite enjoyed this game; the mechanics of attacking versus block placement were much more highly polished than I was expected. I appreciated the slower, pleasant pace of gameplay and also appreciated the phenomenal animation work. Great job!

Adorable game and the various applications of the seeds made you have to think about what you needed to do. Could have tied in with the theme a little more strongly, but I see the inspiration nonetheless. Really nicely done.

Really nice game. The gameplay is fun and the use of seeds for attacking and planting trees can bring some interesting puzzle mechanics. On top of that the animation is awesome, there is an old cartoon feeling to it!

Had a lot of fun! Great game, loved the part were u have to jump from mushroom to mushroom to pick the falling seeds

A pretty cool game design platformer with nice mechanics. Not so fan of graphics.

Really cute. I thought it did a good job letting me know that there were certain things I could do in certain places, even if I hadn't realized that there were seeds following me. Some good old-school "this is a special area and you should do something to it" messaging.

Wow this was really cool! I love the tree mechanic. I started gaming the system by jumping off trees while turning them back into seeds. I really love the animations, Sir Sprout looks so squishy and happy when he jumps! Fun level design too: I was sad when it was over.

It's adorable! We need a puzzle game of this!

revx 2015-04-21 14:46

Great game. Really fun tree-growing mechanic, although it was a little hard to figure out at first. Loved the animation of the sprout :)

Interesting mechanic. It would have been nice to not have go through so much work deconstructing/reconstructing a setup when I failed a puzzle. Maybe have the dirt kill the player so you get a clean restart if you mess up?

Super cute and quite fun!

Cute game and fun concept, but sometimes I feel it is hard to climb on the stem I created

winmac32 2015-04-22 19:42

You've got an interesting game mechanic here. I like it.

ianb96 2015-04-22 19:44

Pretty solid mechanics and nice animation!

novadream 2015-04-22 20:31

So at the end you're just trapped? :P

Nice graphics, innovative game mechanics, and pleasant puzzles! ;D

louis-denizet 2015-04-22 21:20

That was really cool, immediate fun and innovant : great job!=)

designernap 2015-04-22 21:29

Nice audio and good clean fun!

roving-stone 2015-04-23 01:52

Sir Sprout's animations were really cute. The attacking/growing trees mechanic was really well executed!

spotlightor 2015-04-23 01:57

Really like animation effects!Good job!

teamquadratic 2015-04-23 02:22

Cool concept. An expanded version with some polish would be cool!

stvr 2015-04-23 02:36

Really great! I love the sprites and their fun, silly animations and there are TONS of levels (I got stuck tho). Yay HaxeFlixel!

themeorch 2015-04-23 03:29

Cute graphics and animation! I liked how the seeds had multiple uses -- nice interpretation of the theme!

flickta 2015-04-23 03:37

Well well :) This is a gem, albeit a hidden one! Animations/characters are great, these enemy beavers (?) are very funny. Growing mechanics is very nice (not easy to find, but then it works great - including horizontal growth!), and there are lots of other gameplay elements, which was unexpected for me - jumping mushrooms, stone walls.
If nitpicking, some visual feedback of level completion could be nice - currently the game just pauses for a moment.

jellyhard 2015-04-23 03:41

Haha, we made a game about shooting seed too! Great minds think alike, right?
Anyway, great entry, very well realized.

mortus 2015-04-23 18:38

Very nice mechanics and fun idea! Would love to see more levels! (and hear some sounds, it's amazing how even the simplest sfxr sounds could benefit a game!)

wan 2015-04-24 00:47

One of the best entry for me. The last level is more challenging and that's for the best ;)

papygaragos 2015-04-24 11:22

I really like the feeling of tossing a seed, the different ideas, and the smooth difficulty curve. Great job, great entry!
there were a few collision issues with the logs, and I lost some seeds outside the level.
I also feel like the quality of the levels is a bit inconsistent after the one were you have to bounce back and forth above lava to catch some seeds.
once again : great entry

voider 2015-04-25 00:17

Great game! In general terms everything is nice, but it's remarkable how well the game progresses, adding more mechanics and getting more difficult.

6downstudios 2015-04-25 05:11

Great stuff! The platform-puzzle mechanic is real nifty. Sprout's animations are great too, simple but very effective, good use of gesture. Well done guys, I dig it!

pythong 2015-04-26 15:27

the graphics turned me off at first, but i admit, i played through the whole game because the mechanics were great! good job!

arche-san 2015-05-02 16:49

Nice concept. There is a good difficulty curve. The seeds match perfectly with the theme.
