Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
An endearing game from its pen-and-paper art style to its simple, clear premise, Sprout is well-worth the ten minutes or so it will take you to play.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The story of a coconut seed that wants to grow into an oak tree is told first through a sweet, wordless cutscene, then through a series of simple puzzles as the seed grows up, produces more seeds, and gradually makes its way towards its goal.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay

Everything from the presentation to the gameplay is positively reminiscent of many early Flash games.

Charming graphics, simple gameplay, and a relaxing soundtrack add up to make this a good way to spend ten to fifteen minutes.
