Very nice....quite different from most games in this genre
I'm always happy to see a new god game, and this one did not disappoint! :)
Although this game is in the easier category of god games (versus such games as Virtual Villagers and My Tribe), it's still fun to play.
In the game, you control an every-growing colony of 'sprouts': cute little creatures that obey your every whim. The game consists of the basic elements that characterize most god games: you can build things by dragging your sprouts onto them, and you can collect valuable little objects (in this case magical stones and butterflies).
In addition to its basic features, sprouts introduces something new--castable spells. These spells add some much-needed interactivity to the game....it's quite fun to let your sprouts play with a kite by blowing wind onto it, or having your garden grow by making it rain and then shining sun onto it.
And now, the best feature: Sprouts Adventure doesn't keep playing when you leave the game! I love this idea, since in other god games I keep forgetting about my little people and come back to find everyone dead. This approach of only having your characters progress while you are in the game is, in my opinion, a much better way of doing things, since it forces the developer to put more interactive things in the game and the player ends up with a much more immersive experience, since he's actually doing things, instead of just watching his people for a little while and then exiting the game.
Kudos, Reflexive! |

If your bored, its pretty decent.
It really is a pretty fun game. The cactus makes for a likable companion. Fun sounds, flashy effects, and the puzzle and fun of popping the balloons makes for a pretty fun game.

Good 'Jezball' remake!
Pretty cool remake of the classic game 'Jezball'. Definitely worth a try! The game isn't too easy, but isn't too hard, either. Very nice graphics, no bugs that I could see. (no pun intended). My only complaint is that it isn't very varied, so you wouldn't want to play more than a half hour or so at one time...of course, that adds to the lifespan of the game :)
All in all, quite a nice game ^_^

A beginner's experiment, not a game
This "game" seems to be more of a first-time attempt at producing something fun rather than a polished, refined game. The graphics are bad, which wouldn't matter so much if the game-play was engaging, the problem is that the game-play is monotonous. There were some annoying bugs, such as the fact that you had to play on the resolution that the creator made the game on, otherwise enemies could pop in outside of your viewing boundaries, making it difficult to shoot them down. The shield regeneration rate was so fast that you could almost keep your shields on for the entire level, which guaranteed that you never lost much health. In an entire hour of playing, only trying to use shields when I *had* to, I never died once, which should say something in of itself.
Overall, it was a good attempt, but not really something that should have been released to the world...except maybe as freeware.

Very fun, well balanced game
I was pleasantly surprised by this game. The game itself was superb, with well balanced gameplay that proved to be quite a challenge! I couldn't run the game with my graphics settings anywhere above low, which is a pity, but even on low the graphics were well made, and the game was still fun to play :)
The sounds were rather annoying in some cases, so I ended up just turning them off.
I really liked the idea of letting the user choose a hard, but short path, or an easier, but longer path; very ingenious, and it definitely added to the replay value of the game.
Looking forward to a sequel! :)
