Space Sprouts

This is what we called an indie gem. Unique, Creative, Fun, Charming Art, Weird (in a good way), and with a good price.

This is E3.

I loved this game so much!! Space Sprouts is a time loop puzzle adventure where you explore a colorful and rather messy spaceship. There is a framing narrative where you are much older and explaining to your grandkid exactly how it went when you traveled on a spaceship for the first time (so the time loop consists of retellings of your eventful flight). Technically, you are supposed to sit still and do nothing during the flight, but of course that's not what you're going to do, right?! There are 100 different memories to gather, each one is of things that you've done on the spaceship. A lot of these are weird and chaotic in a fun sense - I really enjoyed unlocking them -, and the game gives you ideas about what they could possibly be. Each memory also lengthens the amount of time available in the loop by a little. There is no combat and the entire game is very cozy. It has a really striking ligne claire aesthetic (I saw an interview where the devs specifically mentioned Moebius being an inspiration) and it is also very, for the lack of a better expression, nonbinary-coded. I dunno, plants and space and crystals and colorful stuff? As a nonbinary person I found this relatable and awesome. By the way, the protagonist Oda doesn't seem to have any gender pronouns in-game (your grandkid just addresses you as "you"), but the Steam page uses they/them pronouns for them and that was also my first guess. I gathered 96 memories without looking things up, and then I got quite stuck, so I looked up the remaining ones for 100%. Overall the game took me around 12 hours. Interestingly I got the ending at 95 memories, I don't know if that's where it triggers or if I did something specific. The game is all in 2D, but the objects and your body have simulated physics, so you can get up to a lot of unexpected things - and I'd say many of the memories can probably be unlocked in multiple ways. You can't die per se (technically, I guess!), but you can end up in really rather dire situations, the spaceship is not particularly safe. I've seen people repeatedly raise the question whether this game was a metroidbrainia - in fact I found out about it in the metroidbrainia subreddit. I'd absolutely say yes. I'll try to explain this without spoilers. There are a lot of knowledge-based unlocks, both the less exciting type where you get a code that you have to enter (like the melodies in Toki Tori 2+), and also the ones that are more structural, like figuring out how certain objects interact or how you can do something without having to go to a specific place. Space Sprouts also has the aspect where once you figured out something, it can change the way you interact with the entire environment. And it also has the classic metroidvania feature of running around on a large interconnected 2D map where you can gradually reach new areas. It's very interesting to me that the game came out this year, like Blue Prince, and both are puzzle adventures with roguelike elements, but have very different takes on this novel combination and seem to have been developed entirely independently. Are we at the beginnings of a roguelike puzzle adventure boom? (Can we blame this on Outer Wilds?) I don't know. This is a much more condensed experience than Blue Prince, in 10-15 hours you really can see everything - and I enjoyed myself all the while. I only had some smaller qualms. First of all, the controls are probably quite intuitive on mouse + keyboard, but they aren't really on a controller. I played with the Steam Deck docked to the TV and with a PS4 controller, which has a small touchscreen, and I ended up using the touchscreen a lot. It took me a while to get used to it, but it was absolutely worth it, because the game was so much fun. The Steam page says controller support is still coming, alongside an update with bonus content. My other qualm was that the ending was quite brief, I would've liked something a bit longer - though this is definitely one of those games where the journey itself makes it worth it. I loved this game to bits and am honestly shocked it has under 50 reviews, so I'll clearly have to run around and tell people about it. __ Source of the game: Bought with my own money

I'd like to start off with saying I'm a controller main player. With that said the controls for KBM are so simple and easy how can you not love it. The amazing concept of retelling your story to your grandchild over and over is amazing. Spoiler [spoiler]The fact that you gain time for the amount of memories you gather is the reason why I keep playing. Mind you you start with 10mins.. I'm 3.5hrs in and I don't think im even half way done[/spoiler] Ty Devs for this amazing game that I can't seem to stop playing heck even just drawing on the drawing pad is hella fun. Now if i can only remember how to get to that damn plant room... Ahhhh

A cozy cosmic chaos, but quite enjoyable and relaxing to play. Nice puzzles and fun to look for the memories around the ship. I love the atmosphere and the visuals of the game is really nice.

刚过教学关卡，感觉很有趣。又玩了快一个小时，感觉挺好玩的。然后越玩下去越感觉不好玩，到了四个小时的时候属于是看着这个游戏就烦。 那三个输密码的，不能把已经制作出的物品放在界面上，选择一下就可以直接做吗？每个循环都要重复输入密码不烦吗？还有密码为什么不能设置成可以直接一次性输入三个，每次输入一次密码就要退出去再点进来，循环少的时候还好，循环的次数越多越烦这个。 还有后期不想看那个循环结束的过场动画了，每次我点退出键，准备开启下一次循环的时候，可能直接就卡死了，一卡死又得重新启动，烦。还有那个过场动画前面的对话，为什么不能跳过，烦。 还有前期对这个游戏很感兴趣的时候，每次探索正在兴头上，结果就告诉我探索的时间到了。得，又得重新跑一趟，多来几次，越循环越不想探索。循环除了把探索的时间加长个几秒外，还有什么用，我想循环，我不会自己 选择循不循环吗。在这个强制循环的基础上，这个游戏的各种缺点可以说是无限放大了，我就不明白了这个循环的必要性在哪，既不能推动剧情，也不能给予能力，那为什么还要弄这个循环。

This is a fun whimsical game! Short play cycles and it's easy to stop or play again at the end of each chapter (a very caring game feature I love to see). Play as Oda and have a fun time remembering all the ways you explored a space ship during a very short journey!

An absolutely charming game with a very unique gamestyle!! I love the art and the memories you find are super cute.

A very fun and unique indie game. There are so many surprising little moments that happen with all the interactions!
