A fun premise with a minimal set of weapons, enemies and levels with an hour or two of play, plus options for modifiers and New Game+, neatly packaged for your Video Home System.
I wish there were more games like this! I really like a game to be a one-evening deal, but I also love having an excuse to come back for a "victory lap" with weird modes and challenges.

Neat! I love pulling the veggies out of the ground. It's simple but cute and fun. I love trying to replay the game as efficiently as possible - it would lend itself well to more optional challenges or different levels
Another review complained that the game doesn't teach you about the multiple-sell mechanic, but there is a clear tooltip that displays whenever you hover the sell basket. I found the game clear and fun to learn.

I love a lot of what this game does. It's a cute little builder/manager survival game that lets you explore the game's systems in a very organic way, and there seems to be a good amount of game to explore. I particularly like that you have to manage the distribution of knowledge between your sproots, since sproots age and die and crafting recipes are unlocked for each sproot individually (it looks like there's a way for one sproot to teach another sproot, too.)
It can get a little hard to manage everything after a while, as there aren't any automation features. This could still work, but I don't think you can queue orders and giving orders often feels clunky/unresponsive so it ends up feeling rough. I also had a cascading failure from the fleas stripping all my bushes at once and I hadn't seen one do that before so that felt a little brutal! Half of my sproots starved :(
The main thing holding it back for me is that the game crashes! It crashed after about 80 minutes and it lost my progress. I would love a more user-friendly version of this game some day. Edit: with a minimap!
