## Description
The player takes the role of a soldier who is sent to investigate strange
happenings in a weapon research facility. As it turns out, the plants have
become big and mean and need to be stopped!
_X S.E.E.D_ is a side-scrolling platformer with pixel graphics. The
speciality is all weapons – which have to be picked up on the way – are seeds.
When the player throws one of them on the ground, a plant grows. Examples
would be temporary plants which shoot projectiles or grow large and hold up
attacks from enemies for a time. The latter is important because the hero dies
after a single contact. After three lives are gone, it is back to the
beginning: there are no continues, no extra lives and no save games. Sometimes
killed enemies leave behind weapons which, if already collected, improve their
effectiveness.
The character himself has no direct way of fighting off enemies – except when
Ninja Mode is selected. Then the attacking plants are replaced with
traditional attacks and the gameplay becomes more similar to a traditional
run-and-shoot game.
