Spore boy was a game concept designed for a Green game jam, the theme of which was about regreening.
Regreening is the process of recovering and renovating once barren or deforested land, into a healthy ecosystem by planting plants and trees.
Abstracting from this, we went with the idea of, what if regreening went too far and started trying to "restore" humanity? Inspired by games like Can your pet, a pet simulator with a psychological twist, in which you raise a chicken, and then watch it be murdered for dinner. In Spore boy you raise a seed through its life span by playing various minigames, these games would become more and more twisted until eventually it sprawls out of control and starts harvesting people for blood!
