Then buzz it up

We're just going to come out and say it - Sprout is a bloody brilliant game. Easy to pick up, tough to master, beautiful to look at, a bit Grow Cube-y - Sprout is everything we want in a game and more.
In Sprout you play a little tiny bean sprout in a pencil crayon world, and it's your job to push the sprout as far through the world as you can. How? Simple - by choosing what you sprout into. First of all you only have the choice of sprouting into a coconut - which has its benefits - but by landing near other types of plants you have the option of sprouting into little versions of those as well. Sprout into a dandelion and you'll float along on the breeze, sprout into an apple tree and you'll be eaten, transported and then shat out, sprout into a bean and you'll climb walls. Sprout is like an online version of Planet Earth, and if you don't fall in love with it completely there's probably something wrong with you.
