Flower Reviews

After falling in love with Donut County and Sky: Children of the Light, I decided to check out some of the other games from the same developers. And this app immediately caught my eye. I struggle with anxiety, so I bought this game thinking it would be a peaceful, stress relieving game that I can play to calm myself down. And, of course, when I opened the game I wasn’t disappointed by the beautiful music and graphics. However, the controls were almost unforgivably frustrating. It took me 45 minutes to complete the first level, and it just left me feeling even more stressed out. If there was some way that players could drag on the screen to fly around instead of tilting the device, it would make the gameplay a lot easier and more enjoyable. I want to give this game 5 stars, I really do. But until the controls are less frustrating, I can’t really enjoy this app.

I bought this day one upon its release on the PS3, and it remains one of my favourite games ever.

The graphics haven't been altered (neither better nor worse), and the audio is amazing on headphones.

Touch screen controls are passable, but a bit obtuse; I often find them both over and under sensitive at times, but the most confusing aspect is the speed control. Everything is molasses slow; to be clear not the frame rate or processing speed of the device…where the PS3 analogue triggers could go from a light press/crawl to a deep press/sprint, the iOS version only has crawl, which severely diminishes the sense of flying as the wind. 😕

The other critique is there appears to be no manual or text anywhere—even online—to describe what the two icons mean in the menu (camera with opposing arrows, and gradated chevrons).

Aside from the occasional glitch (audio dropping out, partial this app models, the red this app of level two and all red petals disappearing), it's a faithful reproduction of the console experience, especially with the accelerometer controls. Better the larger your screen and higher your audio fidelity. 👍👍

I have never felt more excited than getting to the end of this app the game itself is so exciting the map design is beautiful and don’t forget the graphics are incredible the whole game has a simple premise you fly around as a this app and go around collecting other flowers and solving little puzzles here and there but the same time it was so beautiful I can’t believe that a mobile game from PlayStation the qualities is insane also the game is usually $4.99 but I got it on sale for $0.99I have never experienced something so shocking as that I am honestly surprised that I got that for a dollar I wish to relive that experience again. Highly recommend. Seriously I recommend.

The first time I played this game it was on my PS4, I loved it, but on my phone it’s kinda glitchy. On the white this app level it jumped h a r d and I couldn’t turn multiple times and the wind looked funny while I was flying down the road. Also I highly think that there should be a music/audio adjuster on the phone, because when I collected all of the hidden this app to get the final hidden room I was really excited for the music. It sounds great on the tv when I play it on my console, but it was kinda drowned out on my phone by the background nature sounds, which sound equally as nice, was louder than the peaceful guitar. But all in all it’s a great game.

At first, I was hesitant to buy this game due to reviews about the controls. While it’s true that sometimes you can tell it was meant for PlayStation, I didn’t find the controls that difficult to master. I really love how there are multiple times in the game that you can take a break from the objective and just admire the scenery and explore the levels. Each one is beautifully crafted and it’s clear that a lot of work was put into the design. If you are considering purchasing the game, I would suggest that you don’t focus too much on the reviews regarding the controls. Any problems with control is easily balanced by the beauty and freedom of the game. Worth the price, this app is the definition of magic.

This game has amazing graphics, visuals, and all sorts of awesome parts that make the game cool. I, not like the other reviews, do not think the controls are that bad. But the reason I gave it 3 stars was because IT NEVER SAVES! literally, whenever you go out of the game and then start it up again, you start off right at the beginning again! Are you supposed to play the game in one day completely through the whole thing? There should at least be a save and quit button, or maybe it should just auto-save like maybe, hmmm, ALMOST ALL THE MOBILE GAMES IN THE WORLD!!!!???????!!!! So, that’s my thinking. Buyers, please read this before you spend 5 BUCKS on playing the first 5 minutes of a game over and over again. 😡😡😡.

...who finds the controls on this otherwise delightful game to be maddening. The tilt controls are really difficult to control; it’s not clear, for example, how to move down closer to the ground while moving forward. Sometimes you find yourself flying up in the air for no apparent reason. You have to be careful not to tilt your phone/iPad forward too far or your screen will flip on you. Also, the left-right tilt controls are unpredictable, at times moving left when you tilt right and at other times vice versa. The seemingly arbitrary nature of the controls can be really frustrating and mar an otherwise beautiful experience. If this were improved, this would be a five-star game.

I had a difficult time with the controls for a while at first. I found myself getting a little too animated with the phone waving it everywhere! Just keep it cool and you’ll get it. I find the game meditative and peaceful. I need that as I am a stress case. I do not play everyday so it’s a great game to pull out when I need to change my focus and chill. However I do notice that my battery gets low super fast after I play, and my phone gets hot. For that I give it 4 stars.

Played through all the way. Thought, that was nice. Then replayed one this app story and realized that the levels have hidden areas and challenges, and that the this app pictures at the end offer clues on how much of a level you’ve discovered. Have now replayed every level at least once. Finally fully completed one level last night. Very satisfying. One of the only games I play with the sound on. The controls sometimes go berserk when first entering a level, and sometimtes allow very subtle movement.

I wanted to play this game for years but never had a PC or Playstation, so super excited to find it on mobile! There's some negative reviews about the tilt controls, but you can actually change them to touch controls by tapping the controller icon in the upper left on the main menu. That's what I did, and it felt pretty good to play! The haptic feedback when you pick up flowers is so satisfying. TGC makes such unique and beautiful games, and this one is no different!

I love thatgamecompany’s games! After experiencing their game called sky children of the light, decided to buy this game, at first the controls were very confusing, but when you get used to it, that really makes a difference! The animations bring it to life! Literally! I love how majestic these games are a I think you should give it a try! This game was worth my time and I think you will love it to! I am happy to pronounce that I have played this game and I will love it to the end of time! 💫💫

I really, really wanted to love this game. Every now and then I find myself wanting a new relaxing game, and I really debated on this one because of the cost. I decided to go for it, and...ugh. I’m playing on my iPad Pro, and I will say that the graphics are beautiful. The controls, however, are REALLY hard to master. What makes it even worse is THE GAME DOESN’T SAVE. When I exit the game and come back to it later, I have to start from the very beginning again. I don’t want to keep playing the same 15 minutes of the game over and over. I was hoping this would be a relaxing game that would give me a little mental break from my day, but it’s just another frustration. Deleted. Adios, $4.99.

I like Flower a great deal. I’m not sure I’d call it a game as much as a technology demo, but whatever you call it, it’s lovely and interesting. It’s short, but that’s ok, because it has decent replayability. If you like racing games, riding the wind can be pretty cool, and if you like meditative apps it’ll take you there too. I understand why some people might have trouble with the control scheme, but honestly, I didn’t. A little patience will get you anywhere the game world allows you to go. If you’re on the fence about this one, my 2¢ is: buy it.

Okay so I got this game after searching for something for my anxiety. I found this and thought it looked nice so I got it. Needless to say, I got wayyy into it and finished it in two days. This game is so uplifting and powerful. It takes you on this amazing journey of beautiful colors and flowers. The graphics are perfect and the controls are amazing! Its very meditative and has an absolutely beautiful message. Even the credits were beautiful!!!
This game truly is a work of art and the only problem is that it didn’t last longer.

I saw the first petal and that was me. Then the second petal and it was the love of my life. Then all the other petals were the people from everyday life who make it colorful and beautiful when you choose to look at the good things of life.

Flower allows me to take a break, however easy or hard my day is. To just break and to just be. I’ve had Flower for a long time and tonight I finally experienced it. This will be on my phone regularly. I’m so relaxed and thankful.

so, my cousin and i wanted to buy this game, so we did. it was SO exciting, because you collect this app pedals and fly around in different levels… i never felt more excited to play a game like that… also the end of the game was so beautiful, how you fight evil… it does get sad, but once you think it will get worse, it just gets better! the graphics are so good and the colors are SOOOO vibrant and so beautiful. I love the game so much. it’s SUCH a good game… that’s why I rated it 5 stars

I was attempting to find a game to play for a few minutes and then be able to set it down and do other things. It appeared that the game this app might be such a game. It looks kind of pretty. However I get a headache and find myself getting very angry each time I try to play this app. #1 There aren’t any good directions or goals I can find. #2 My iPhone doesn’t seem to be controllable in terms of moving ahead easily, or going from side to side. #3 I have been dupped into spending money for a completely worthless and high stress and headache producing “game”. Definitely not recommended!!!!

this app has changed my entire gaming experience. It’s absolutely gorgeous, and definitely worth the five bucks. I played the whole game in only two sittings. I give it five stars for absolute perfection, except for the fact it drains your battery (See, I would have played it in one sitting, but my device died in the process). This is understandable though, because the graphics and the details are stunning. This is truly a masterpiece.

I love this company and their products, but am a bit disappointed that you cannot save your game to pick up where we left off. Am I doing something wrong? There are some small glitches with the graphics not exactly going where I want to go. Maybe a bit more instruction at the opening of the game besides the image of a phone screen.

Okay I am starting to finally get the hang of the game. I am on the 2nd part of the game just got the first part completed. Still kind of confusing. Hard to move in the game. Beautiful graphics and music. I still think this game is over priced. Very relaxing now that I am finally getting the hang of it. I wish that you could save it sooner though. I have to use both hands to control it my left thumb I had to have surgery on so it makes it kind of hard. I will update when I get further in the game.
