Phytonaut
Phytonaut was a game created by students in the Spring of 2018 at California Institute of the Arts for the CalArts Game Makers Club.

This is a farming fetching game featuring Philip, who lands on a planet in search of seeds to plant on their home and befriends a variety of sentient alien plant life!

This game is available for Mac and Windows. 

If you're having trouble opening the Mac version:

Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. 
Under "Allow apps downloaded from:" make sure the "App Store and identified developers" option is selected then click "Open Anyways".
If there is no "Open Anyways" option, then try opening up the Fresh Cuts file and the "Open Anyways" option should appear.
