~POST COMPO VERSION 1.1 OUT NOW~
Hey so please play and rate the compo Web or Windows versions, and after you do that, check out the post compo versions! I overhauled the controls and took out the music cuz they both sucked. I'll eventually finish it with good music, more levels/art/water instead of a ball/etc. Thanks for the feedback y'all :)
CONTROLS:
WASD and mouse to move around (E and Q as well)
Hold shift to slow movement/rotation.
Click and stuff. physics make things happen.
4 Levels, and once you beat level 4 it flips back around to Level 1 so you can leave after that happens. I'd love to make more, but I spent most of this weekend being social for some reason, which is why this is a jam game.
The music was conceptualized and made in like 10 minutes using only a violin, so it's not very good.
The idea for the game came from the Taoist concept of Wu Wei, or action by inaction. Applied here, the seed's natural state is to fall, so the player has to guide it to it's destination.
Also The Incredible Machine.
[UPDATE 1.01]
Fixed a bug where selecting anything but a selectable object caused the game to freeze. Forgot to put in that one line of code that makes that not happen ;p
[UPDATE 1.1]
Fixed all the controls, took out the music, and fixed the graphical glitches. More updates to come!

@Julian Yeah I've got a new version now that fixes the awful controls :P. I'll post it as an addendum once I work out all the kinks.
