I was playing the game on my MacBook which has the recommended specs for the game. The game could also be occasionally janky.

You could say that over-explaining will go against the game’s minimalist nature and the fact that it is a puzzle game but I think it’s more important that players understand the basic mechanics of what the game wants them to do rather than rely too much on trial and error.

It’s not very clear and would be nice if it was better explained. Just keep dropping tires until the flowers bloom Then, I thought it was based more on the position of the item on the map but there were some items I placed quite far away from the plant and it still grew. I initially wondered if certain items made the plant react in a certain way but that wasn’t the case as items didn’t always make the plant grow in the same way. Some will make them grow and others will do the minimum. However, whether the item makes the plant grow feels almost random. Like if you place a sign next to the plant, the plant will grow over the sign. The initial idea you get is that the seed will grow over the items you place down. It can however be slightly confusing with how the plants grow. As the plant grows, it’ll create more seeds which you can then place down to further grow the plant. Just drag the seed to where you want to plant it and then drag the items. The game itself is very easy to control and get into. You just keep trying to get your plant to grow. With this in mind, there’s nothing really to worry about in the game in terms of winning or losing. The serene music and sound effect help making it reminiscent of being in a spa or a zen garden. There’s a theme of nature retaking the destroyed old concrete world which gives it a refreshing tone. It’s an interesting apocalyptic aesthetic as it doesn’t feel dark or gloomy.

There’s pretty much nothing outside of the little floating hunk of urban rubble for your to grow your plants on. The game has a very minimalistic approach. The game has a ‘lo-fi’ atmosphere which is reflected in its music in visuals. Follow us on Twitter Follow and Tweet us Tweet to Visuals and Sound
