Game overview

Plant Extract is a crushing game with nothing to solve. Objects go under the press, the press comes down, and the pleasure is watching them give way in the way materials do: some split cleanly, others squash and spread. There is no score chasing you and no timer, so it works as something to keep hands busy for a few minutes rather than a challenge, which is exactly what it sets out to be.

This title is best suited to a short, calming distraction with nothing to win.
