About Germination
Germination is an arcade-style platformer in which an astronaut crash-landed on an alien planet faces an onslaught of carnivorous plants. You survive by stomping on their heads, which are also the only platforms available.
Stomp and survive
Chain consecutive stomps to double-jump endlessly and earn bonuses and powerups. Precise jumps are essential as you make your way across the enemies’ heads.
Game modes and extras
The game includes a difficult campaign with a boss, plus an endlessly looping Hard Mode. A Nursery contains unlockable plant biographies and artwork. Hand-drawn pixel animations and an original soundtrack accompany the game.
