UPDATES:
29/04: Updated notes. I was tired when first wrote them.
---------------

THE IDEA:
To me a minimalistic world means something with no color, desaturated. Hence my game world was filled in greyscale.

The poor old bot, which was in itself old and as minimal as it gets (have you noticed that he has a little muffler on his back, oww..), has the power to bring some color in that world, planting some "seeds" (mechanical seeds? what am i talking about?) that bring into the world some mystical powers, that maybe come inherently with the color (color is power?).
---------------

CONTROLS (KEYBOARD):
Left/Right: "A" and "D" or the arrows
Jump: "Space"
Cycle Seeds: "Q" and "E"
Plant Seed: "CTRL"
Restart: "R"
Main Menu: "Escape"

CONTROLS (360 JOYPAD, maybe only on Windows):
Left/Right: Primary analog stick
Jump: "A"
Cycle Seeds: Bumbers
Plant Seed: "B"
Restart: "Start"
Main Menu: "Back"
---------------

TOOLS:
Unity 3D,
3DS Max,
Photoshop,
Cubase.

FINAL COMMENTS:

This gameplay has appeared times in LD. But it's still a good implementation.

I love the idea, and enjoyed, but when playing with keyboard, key setting is somewhat complex.

The music was a bit annoying, but other than that not bad.

I like the game, but I can't seem to get a seed.

Played quite a few levels, despite I was a bit frustrated. But there is some nice ideas going on there.
(PS. Crashed Unity web player when I closed the page.)

Difficult to play with a single hand. But I actually quite enjoyed and it seemed very smooth.

Very nice idea! The controls were sometimes a bit iffy. I dig the music. Nice game!
