Say you're a little boy (but really you're a dinosaur) and in your roaring rampage of dinosaur-ness, you've stomped all the plants you can. Well, the king of the forest would like a word with you, and he wants you to replant everything you've crushed. Such is the premise of Seeds, an adorable new launch game by funstorm. You blow the seed as far as you can by dragging the mouse left and then right. Click while the seed is in the air to drop more seeds and plant flowers. There are sweet spots that give you extra points or other bonuses, so your goal is to aim for them while avoiding trouble spots such as rocks, ponds, and crows. Use the points you earn to buy upgrades that help you make the most out of each launch. There's no distance goal: your distance and score accumulate on each launch to eventually bring you to the next zone.
Seeds is a lovely game, but it isn't without its flaws: the handling could definitely be improved, for example, and it gets very hard to aim your drops accurately as your launch speed increases. But between the vibrantly colored, ridiculously adorable graphics and the way it tweaks the genre just enough to stand out from the rest of the crowd, it's absolutely worth playing.
This game has beautiful artwork. Other games using the same game design have done it better. It would have been fun to have some vertical play involved, including clicking bonuses in the air above the ground. That being said, the power-ups are fitting, and they scale rather well with the levels, as you progress. Other games tend to allow one to scale too quickly, making the game too easy. For the simplicity of design, this one was rather refined. Again, the artwork made me very happy to continue to the end.
Awesome Game
