I found this a bit purposeless like it should have been part of a larger game.

At first I was moving about (really liked the way the camera looked and moved felt similar to looking in microscopes) trying to find clusters of things to drop the bomb/seed on. However I then just tried dropping it in the center, and that gave me much better results. So I think the game mechanics could be improved by having much smaller primary blast and that targets doing secondary blasts if hit with enough force. That way it would allow for much more game-play. Good start though. And work on making it all feel like a microscope setting ^^

It was fun for a little bit, but I don't really get the point? Also has a bomb noise and looks like a bomb, which is a pretty conventional weapon

The gameplay is great but adding some more content, or polishing would be great to improve the game and make it interesting with a meaning.

Dropping the bomb without moving gives better effects, strange.

Hey, you don't want to be rated on your audio? Well there was not much of it.
At first I didn't see what the things were, because of the shadows.
I think the game could be improved by implementing a win/lose condition. Because throwing the seed too late or in an empty area is now without consequence.

Strange. Really, really strange.

This was a really intresting submission. I rally liked the theme of it, droping "seeds" on i guess "stalks". The only obvius improvment I can see is that the minimap could have been a bit better, to show you where you are actually looking on it.
