Gaia Seed: Project Seed Trap is a 1996 Japanese side scrolling shooting game for the PlayStation. [1]
The game was developed by Techno Soleil, [2] the same developers as Rapid Angel. [3]

Gaia Seed was released in Japan on December 13, 1996. [1] It was re-released on the PlayStation Network on July 8, 2009, and retailed for 571 円. [4] [5] The game is considered quite rare. [6] [7] A 2005 United Kingdom listing gave the price as £50-£80, while a 2014 listing put the game at £80. [2] [6]
The game was released on PlayStation Network Imports for purchase outside of Japan on September 21, 2010. [8] [9] [10] Previously, the only way to purchase the game outside of Japan on PSN was to use a Japanese PSN account. [7] The game was released with no language localisation or translation. [9] [10] Publisher MonkeyPaW Games cites the cost of translation as a barrier to releasing games outside of Japan. [8] [10]
Famitsu magazine gave it a score of 22 out of 40. [1]
Eurogamer called it "quite dull". [2] GamesTM said that it looked like a 16 bit game, but that it was enjoyable, and was more for the hardcore fans of the genre. [6] Silliconera praised the game, and compared it to the Gradius series. [11]
