Love the graphics. It was a bit hard with all the different things happening at the same time. Would have been nice with a short ramp-up of seeds and attacks being added and things happening. Some things, like having to have a powered attack to get a seed, seem a bit misplaced and just add more complexity. Simply put, just a bit too many controls, especially right off the bat.
