Buttons:
Arrow keys - Move
x - Pickup/throw/open crate
space - Change to flight mode
Needs XNA 4.0 redistributable (included in rar file)
This game is very low on the gameplay and intended to be heavy on the atmosphere. Unfortunately, we ran out of time when adding the atmosphere so the air might not be entirely fit to breathe.
The balls are seeds, if they stay in touch with the ground long enough they become trees. Red and orange grow slow, white grows really fast, blue grows fast but is unaffected by gravity, so it's a bit tricky to make them turn into trees :)

I'd really like to see something actually grow, or even affect the world around me in some way, but have no idea how to achieve that. =/
Tadaaaa! A whole forest was growing! Awesome!
I can't say that I understood everything, but I played a lot.
Good game, nice work on the mood.
Notes:
* There is only one way to plant the blue ones. Pretty hard as well.
* I wish there were more seeds in the world. The world is fairly large.
* The white seed seems impossible. I had a time where one just rushed away from my screen as soon as I broke the box. Another time where I did manage to get it but after I tried to place it, it flew right away in opposite wind direction.
* I would take extra care on the wind controls. Either you need to give the play a hint on where the seeds are or something else.
Keep it up since it is a pretty good concept.
I enjoyed this a lot, the lack of gameplay wasn't hindering it at all in my opinion.
