About the game

An astronaut has crash-landed on an alien planet, and it's started to rain... seeds. Featuring a campaign and an endless mode with leaderboards, Germination is an arcade platform-em-up about stomping your way to the highest combo, excruciatingly detailed with hand-crafted animations.
