I liked figuring out what the seeds do. Really easy to get trapped though.

I played the HTML5 version. Colourful graphics. Some variation in sounds would help a lot.

I dug a bit, couldn't get out. Figured out I was getting some sort of seeds or gems.

I restarted then climbed a bit into the sky, got onto a platform, found a flower.

I could see that I was supposed to find 12 things, but I wasn't sure how.

I liked this a fair bit, and the art is fantastic! The idea is pretty unique, but takes too long to actually get anywhere - being able to break a tile while in the air would make progress a lot quicker. And the goat is absolutely busted ;)

Got stuck on my first game. Second game I knew better and managed to make it all the way, get all 12 things. Got quite OP after double jump and wall jump =). HTML version worked great, and was easy, thanks for that =).

Really great game! It's fun and innovative. The graphics are good and the seed planting is really satisfying to make the blocks grow as the tool

Nice production work for the graphics. A bit confused as to what I'm doing, but had fun doing it. :)

A very innovative platformer, and excellent use of the theme! It's a keeper.

That was fun, I found my very absorbed in the game until the finish (BTW the ending throws an error, says it's trying to move to the next room after the last room). I like how you forced experimentation with the different seeds. Good game!

I love the idea and character animation, they're really lovely cute :)

Pretty cool game, but sadly the controls are so fast, that it's almost unplayable to me. I collected 7 things, but then I had to quit, because I kept falling off of things.

If you make a post compo version with tighter controls, I'd galdy hear about it. Drop me a line on twitter if you do!

I loved the art style, it's so colorful and pretty :-)

Really dug this concept... Great amount of content for a LD game. Really enjoyed coercing the growths to go where I wanted them.

This game game me vertigo. It was a lot of fun though, i first went to the underground powerup and very nearly got myself trapped but managed to slowly escape by digging a tunnel up and flooding it with blocks. It can be pretty frustrating when starting off, especially with such fast movement, but once i started memorizing what each block did i started building proper stairways and safety nets, and it became much more fun. Great work!

Also, after collecting the final powerup, the game crashed with a fatal error, attempting to move to a non-existing room i believe. The game also started slowing down when growing blocks after a while (Windows version).

Very much Starseed Pilgrim, but I really enjoyed it; it's a solid mechanic for the theme! Nice platforming and puzzle combo, figuring out the seed behaviors. I liked how the objectives also gave you powerups; that helped progress feel good.

Also the goats were so awful I now hate goats IRL.
