Seeds can do a lot of things in casual gaming land. They can turn the entire world into cubes. They can be cross-bred into hyper-flowers. They can listen to your thoughts of how they should grow. They can go on island adventures. And, with a little care, they can even take on the undead. Yep, when you plant a seed, it seems that anything is possible. Never has that idea been better expressed than in I am a seed. Once you start making choices for your little embryonic pod, theres no telling what the result will be.
At each stage, you are presented with two choices for your seed. You choose between them by clicking. Each choice will lead your seed growing into a new creation, which leads to another choice. This repeats until the process is complete, and cyclically begins with a new seed. For instance, you start with a choice between a bird and a pot: choosing the pot causes the seed to sprout, and offers you a choice between fertilizer and a watering can. Choosing the watering can causes the sprout to grow into a beautiful flower, and offers a choice between a bowling ball and a box. Choosing the bowling ball crushes it into a mess of petals, and so forth. Believe me... each choice makes sense at the time, but once you start seeing a chorus of flies performing Hamlet in the center of a cardboard castle, youll being a little confused as to how you got there.
I am a seed is very strange and not too deep, but very fun to play with. The visuals are beautiful in their photo-realism, and is animated smoothly enough to look cool, while jerky enough to look off-kilter. Its interesting enough that youll keep clicking through at least a few cycles. Favorite probably was the helicopter elephants being launched into space by the rocket-carrot ? ... yeah, its one of those kinds of games.
Right from the elephant-hamster wheel pre-loader, it is clearly not something that takes itself seriously. Its goofy and dreamlike and insane. I think youll like it. Go ahead... seed it for yourself.
