Seeders

⠀

I am 32 years old.

My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old.

When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing.

Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side.

With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.

After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like.

Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends.

Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together.

Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that.

Thank you.

It's a bad platformer with bad controls and a lot of annoying wait time if you want to try again.

This a rather difficult puzzle platformer. While all of the puzzles require logic, some puzzles also require a bit of luck to get an item to land in exactly the (pixel perfect) right spot after you push it of a ledge, etc. Some puzzles require perfect timing, especially with moving enemies were the moment of opportunity could be gone if you hesitate too much. In some puzzles with the spicky emenies that flee from you it makes a difference if you approach them while jumping which causes them to start fleeing just a little later.

There are a few 'computer consoles' scattered through the game where you have to solve some 'codebreaker' puzzles - the first one in the final chapter was a really nice permutation puzzle and the final puzzle of the final chapter is reminiscent of Mastermind - these are very different from all the other (platform) puzzles.

I made it to the end after more than 11 hours of playing, but I have to admit that I had to use the level editor on 4 occasions to bypass puzzles where I could not find the solution. But I plan on getting back to Seeders at least once more to try to find the solutions to those remaining 4 puzzles.

Because of the difficulty this game is probably only for fans of the genre.

Seeders is a difficult puzzle platformer. I highly recommend this game if you enjoy a challenge. Very cool 'skate puzzle' concept!
