An astronaut has crash-landed on an alien planet, and it's started to rain... seeds.
Germination is an arcade-style platformer about surviving an onslaught of carnivorous flora by stomping on their heads. Chain consecutive stomps to double-jump endlessly and combo your way to bonuses and powerups. You'll need to make precise work of your jumping - the only platforms you'll find are your enemies' heads.
Features:
- Difficult campaign hiding a deadly boss.
- Endlessly-looping Hard Mode for overachievers.
- Nursery with Unlockable Plant Biographies and artwork.
- Hand-drawn pixel animations and original soundtrack.
