You must finish a new seedling before all the soil nutrients are used up. Use your launch pod to destroy the hostile seeds before they can land and deplete the soil.
Very nicely done. I wish there was something I could do after a seed has hit the ground. I feel totally helpless after a while, maybe that's part of the design.
@Andrew - this is a good idea, but ... @strega - yeah, I wanted it to be hard because I only had the one level. @Codexus - yeah, I started with ChevyRay's code :)
Pretty well done, but getting blocked in by a close seedling makes me feel really helpless. I think either having the shots damage the rooted ones, or having shots that can pass through them may make it feel more forgiving.
It was really hard to see the yellow cursor on the blue background. The sound was ok, but there was no music! Overall, the second most phallic LD23 game.
Gameplay is mostly what I'd expect from a missile defense game, but the added twist of stalks that grow and block your shots makes it much more difficult. There were times when one landed right on my turret and I had no choice but to wait to die. :p Maybe if there was a way to clear them once you shoot down enough seeds or something like that it'd feel more balanced. Or maybe I just suck at missile defense. ;)
I really liked the organic, dirty graphics, they did their job very well. Reminded me of the eerie feeling I got from watching René Laloux films as a kid, or maybe Naked Lunch. Good job!
I don't like the fact that I couldn't shoot past the growing plants. Also, it could do with a bit of background music. But other than that, solid game.

Nice Missile Command, reminded me of the one in the keynote :)
