I appreciated the slower, pleasant pace of gameplay and also appreciated the phenomenal animation work. Great job!"},{"author_name":"LeftRight92","author_uid":"38834","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 4:11am","epoch":1429589160,"text":"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."},{"author_name":"spreadtheflow","author_uid":"51220","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 5:18am","epoch":1429593180,"text":"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!"},{"author_name":"muromets","author_uid":"14188","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 5:22am","epoch":1429593420,"text":"Had a lot of fun!

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.

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."},{"author_name":"Kahztein","author_uid":"51703","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 9:27am","epoch":1429608120,"text":"It's adorable!

It would have been nice to not have go through so much work deconstructing\/reconstructing a setup when I failed a puzzle.

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.\r<br\/>If nitpicking, some visual feedback of level completion could be nice - currently the game just pauses for a moment."},{"author_name":"Jellyhard","author_uid":"42032","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 3:41am","epoch":1429760160,"text":"Haha, we made a game about shooting seed too!

Great job, great entry! \r<br\/>there were a few collision issues with the logs, and I lost some seeds outside the level. \r<br\/>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.\r<br\/>once again : great entry"},{"author_name":"psychonull","author_uid":"31386","time":"Apr 25, 2015 @ 12:17am","epoch":1429920720,"text":"Great game!
