Extremely simple yet extremely punishing, Germination is an action platform we that has you (a little space duder) bouncing for your survival against an ever growing horde of plants on an alien world.

As with every good arcade game it has a steep learning curve as your character becomes faster and faster the higher you bounce. Frustrating, but it’ll grow on you...


Most definitely one to have on your radar if you donated to the Itch Io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality 🌱 💖 🌱

Chaining bounce-on-space-plants platformer with wonderful pixel art and relaxing music. Came for the space plants, stayed for the bouncing.
