Application Description
UPDATE: A few bugs have cropped up in recent iOS updates. Until I am able to work them out and release an fix, Sprouts 1 will be FREE on the App Store!
A combination Science- and Nature-themed Meditation game, Sprouts! is a 2.5dimension / 3dimensional platformer that is somewhat similar to "golf-marbles-pinball with a football-like growing spore," and has everything you would expect from an expansive exploration and puzzle-solving game. The perfect kid's game, with deepening fascination suitable for all ages (careful, toddlers may drop your iPhone, and adults might find themselves shaking the iPad like a cereal box). The gameplay strives to approach a virtual zen, and symbolically reinforces the fundamentals of biology, ecology and math in the form of puzzles, competition, fractals, exploration, and good old video game reaction time. The introspective puzzles are suitable for any audience.
QUALITIES:
• Experimental = meditative exploratory gameplay
• Approaches a Virtual Zen
• I think this is the most explicit nature-based platform game yet released
• Calming levels, paced with a delightful music soundtrack
• Science-themed
• Inspired, in part, by J.H.C.'s game theory paper and pencil game
• J.H.C. is a mathematician and the inventor of the Conway's Game of Life
• It plays sorta like a famous hedgehog game, only it's as though you are the golf ball golfing game
• Suitable for kids, serious gamers and grandma
• Caution: Toddlers may drop phones!
SUPPORT SPROUTS 1! By purchasing this initial (1.0) release, it will entitle you to FREE upgrades to all of the upcoming 10 sprouts levels (releases: Levels 2-4: Spring 2011, Levels 5-7 Summer, 8-10 Fall), and first dibs on Sprouts 2!
