PSA: As of Chrome 42 (Released April 14th), NPAPI plugins are disabled by default! That means Unity Player, Java, and Silverlight games will not work in the Chrome browser! That said, Flash in the Chrome browser continues to work fine (PPAPI).
To Developers: Consider using HTML5 and WebGL instead. Having troubles with the export? Don’t worry. See Ports below.
To Players: A workaround is to enable NPAPI plugins in your Chrome settings. Click or Copy+Paste this URL in to a tab:
As of September 2015 however, this option will no longer be available.
Other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and Flash are unaffected, but FWIW there is no Unity Player or Silverlight for Linux.X
Sir Sprout returns hence, from lands far off, to an infestation of Semi Aquatic Rodents! Using his trusty seeds as weapons, he must traverse various obstacles.
This was our second time doing Ludum Dare (first time for Ian and Chris S). Hope you have as much fun playing our game as we had making it!

I quite enjoyed this game; the mechanics of attacking versus block placement were much more highly polished than I was expected. I appreciated the slower, pleasant pace of gameplay and also appreciated the phenomenal animation work. Great job!
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.
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!
Had a lot of fun! Great game, loved the part were u have to jump from mushroom to mushroom to pick the falling seeds
A pretty cool game design platformer with nice mechanics. Not so fan of graphics.
Really cute. 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. Some good old-school "this is a special area and you should do something to it" messaging.
Wow this was really cool! 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.
Great game. Really fun tree-growing mechanic, although it was a little hard to figure out at first. Loved the animation of the sprout :)
Interesting mechanic. It would have been nice to not have go through so much work deconstructing/reconstructing a setup when I failed a puzzle. Maybe have the dirt kill the player so you get a clean restart if you mess up?
Cute game and fun concept, but sometimes I feel it is hard to climb on the stem I created
So at the end you're just trapped? :P
Nice graphics, innovative game mechanics, and pleasant puzzles! ;D
That was really cool, immediate fun and innovant : great job!=)
Sir Sprout's animations were really cute. The attacking/growing trees mechanic was really well executed!
Cool concept. An expanded version with some polish would be cool!
Really great! I love the sprites and their fun, silly animations and there are TONS of levels (I got stuck tho). Yay HaxeFlixel!
Cute graphics and animation! I liked how the seeds had multiple uses -- nice interpretation of the theme!
Well well :) This is a gem, albeit a hidden one! 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.
If nitpicking, some visual feedback of level completion could be nice - currently the game just pauses for a moment.
Haha, we made a game about shooting seed too! Great minds think alike, right?
Anyway, great entry, very well realized.
Very nice mechanics and fun idea! Would love to see more levels! (and hear some sounds, it's amazing how even the simplest sfxr sounds could benefit a game!)
One of the best entry for me. The last level is more challenging and that's for the best ;)
I really like the feeling of tossing a seed, the different ideas, and the smooth difficulty curve. Great job, great entry!
there were a few collision issues with the logs, and I lost some seeds outside the level.
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.
once again : great entry
Great game! In general terms everything is nice, but it's remarkable how well the game progresses, adding more mechanics and getting more difficult.
Great stuff! The platform-puzzle mechanic is real nifty. Sprout's animations are great too, simple but very effective, good use of gesture. Well done guys, I dig it!
the graphics turned me off at first, but i admit, i played through the whole game because the mechanics were great! good job!
Nice concept. There is a good difficulty curve. The seeds match perfectly with the theme.

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Actually pretty cute! Didn't realize at first that I could grow trees, though.
