Sprout

Sprout is a cute game about a little bean that dreams of someday becoming a big oak tree. While I can’t necessarily sing the kinds of praises that the Jay is Games guys are singing, I did find the game to be extremely endearing. This is definitely trial-and-error type gameplay, but because your options are so limited, it never gets frustrating.

Very charming little game. Seems like most games these days lack simple charm…

That was a fun distraction from work. I do like the graphic style of using sketchbook drawings. I’ve seen it done before, but it’s always great to see it done well.

Nice game and worth the 10 minutes of your time.

I must say that I am VERY fond of this game… so many things about it (limited options, repetition, no timing/hand-eye-coordination) seem like they should make it not fun, but the “story” (if you can call it that) still makes me love it. I hesitate to call it a game in the traditional sense… it’s just a story.
