Boot this one up and you’ll feel instantly reminded of games with the same presentation and better delivery. Saving Seeds HD marks the distinct features of an incomplete, under-polished title. And, while the game is attractive and well-made in parts, the end result is a heaping dose of frustration for the user.
It’s hard to look at Saving Seeds HD without instantly drawing visual and aural comparisons to Crayon Physics. The child-like artistry and the pleasant soundtrack are a completely welcome asset for the game, although they are definitely features ripped straight from other, stronger efforts. Regardless, the aesthetic presentation of Saving Seeds HD works well.
Until players beat a level. The background song doesn’t stop playing when the victory tune quells up. The result is a peace breaking mess, something (peaceful time) the game claims it’s capable of delivering in the App Store sales pitch. Design flaws are what holds this game back, and this simple example of audio confusion is only one of many.
But the game is inexensive. Like, dirt cheap. $.99 allows some room for forgiveness, and players will likely wind up looking past sloppy grammar and tune confusion and towards the huge level list. There is a ton of content here, even if it’s sitting beneath a pile of confusing design. And, given the proper amount of post-release attention, a few version updates could make Saving Seeds HD perfectly palpable.
