It’s Almost Dun, Dun, Dun...Done! Starship Sprout Uses Beethoven’s 5th to Announce Release Date


OCTOBER 2024 – Banana Jam Games has just released the official gameplay trailer for "Starship Sprout", an exciting, chaotic, and fun indie game set to launch in November 2024. This trailer gives players a taste of the fast-paced action at the heart of the game—collecting alien plants with a flourish of confetti explosions, all timed to Beethoven's 5th Symphony.


The core mechanic of "Starship Sprout" is simple but addictive: players collect plants on alien planets and deliver these precious finds back to Earth. The gameplay trailer highlights this dynamic action, demonstrating how easy it is to dive into the game’s 'pick up and play' mechanics. With no unnecessary complexity, players can enjoy the fun of plant collection right from the start.

The Gameboy-inspired pixel art style, shown off in full greenscale glory, brings a nostalgic yet fresh visual identity to the game. Players will feel the charm of retro gaming while flying through space and scouring planets for rare collectibles. Each plant collected triggers not just a confetti explosion, but also light-hearted compliments—adding a playful touch to the chaos.

“We’ve designed "Starship Sprout" to be all about fun and simplicity,” said Banana Jam Games. “It’s the kind of game you can pick up and instantly get into, but with enough challenge to keep players coming back for more.”

The game will be available on both the Microsoft Store and Itch.io in November, priced at £1.99 (with a launch sale from its regular price of £2.99).
