After playing a stressing game I switched to this one thinking it's gonna be soothing... wich it is in its own way, graphically mostly.
But after a while the lack of full control of the matter made me rage quit.
If I play an airplane it's ok, I understand the mechanics relatively... a car is the same... in this game it's petals, wich behaves like... an airpane but 50% less control!! And even no wind to interfere shamely!!
So be Aware! (Juan-Clod Van Dawn words)
What can I say? if you want something relaxing and with a great flow, this is your game.
I am happy they ported it to the PC, I hope more are to follow (talking generally here)
A two hour trip that is worth it : )
I got this game since I like their other game Journey. But I am having some issues with the controls. It doesn't detect any of my controllers, not even when launched through Steam. This is the first game I've had this issue. I don't have the Steam version as I like to support GOG releases.
Seems like a nice game otherwise, but I need controller support!
i read the reviews and knew what i was getting into when i bought this for a buck fiddy on deep sale. its a gimmick game built around a certain mechanism like flying or swimming or scuba diving that you see everywhere nowadays. thought it would be a short game to pleasantly waste time. it is pretty, in a mimimal graphic kind of way. the only graphics i saw were grass and petal leaves and some landscaping objects. the music is pretty bad, the score, not the flower plinks you get as you collect the flowers which i enjoyed. i ended up muting the music most of the way as it gets sooooo overly dramatic and loud its off putting. gameplay is minimal, you swoop and collect flowers which give off a musical note, each area has to be completed to go onto the next, with sub areas that 'bloom' once you gain all the flowers.
controls are as others say weird. i was doing good but all the seesawing and arbitrarily swinging around camera views made me sick and frankly annoyed rather than calmed. controls allowed you to turn off mouse movement and steering but then it was dead in the water so i dont understand what that was for, perhaps joystick? who knows.
i can see it being enjoyable for those without motion sickness or those who can overcome the fly controls. in the end i found it more irritating than pleasure and quit.
