### 3/5 — Pretty but glitchy

*2021-02-10*

This is an enjoyable game except for 2 things:
1 An intermittent glitch where the game doesn’t recognise when you have completed a pattern. Progressing to the next turn doesn’t help, neither does completing the pattern again elsewhere on the board. Turning the game off and on again generates a new pattern but means you’ve wasted your time on the old one. 
2 The ****** bunnies! Watching them munch the 6 pointed flowers you spent ages creating when you’ve almost finished a pattern is beyond frustrating in a game that ought to be relaxing. 
If these 2 things could be fixed I would give this game 5 stars because it’s lovely otherwise.

### 3/5 — Another overrated game

*2020-09-08*

Getting a bit tired of the review sites showering average games in glowing praise. No doubt pushing the industry that keeps them employed. It's okay. Bit boring. Far from the best of it's type.

### 3/5 — Repetitive

*2019-10-01*

Engaging and initially interesting, but very much one flavour. It quite quickly gets dull.

### 4/5 — Repetetive and boring

*2019-06-03, version 1.1.0*

This is great game that you wouldn’t regret spending money on it.
Although, after 3-4 ours, if you are not interested in high scores or in story (which is nice), for you it will become boring quickly.
Also, this app DRAINS battery of smartphone, so 10 min of game and - 10% of battery.
Also, I don’t like “playing just to play”, I mean farming monolith to unlock new abilities or advance in story. ITS FRUSTRATING!
Thanks god this is not free to play...

So, overall — great game, but needed some work for those, who don’t want to wait (even if it’s main idea of game and story — I don’t care about this idea, I wanna get fun experience!).
Also battery draining must be taken into consideration for improvement.

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2019-02-16*

The game has a lot of depth which I appreciate but I’m now at a dead end. I couldn’t put it down at first but now I don’t know if I’m stuck or if I solved everything. I’m not sure if it is supposed to advance after you unlock the 4 light pillars somehow or if you really only have the beginning board once this part is done. If so then it’s a waste of money. Free apps offer more entertainment.

### 3/5 — Love the game

*2019-02-15, version 1.1.0*

The game
Is fun and relaxing. Thank goodness they added the feature to let you exit the game and come back to finish.

I don’t mind the lack of instructions but I can’t
Figure out the cave.   I’ve solved 7+ puzzles there but I never seem to get a reward.  What’s the point of the cave?

### 3/5 — Limited play

*2018-12-21*

Wish there was more to the game, it ends very quickly.

### 3/5 — 환불요청

*2018-11-25*

잘못 눌러서 결재했어요 환불 부탁해요

### 3/5 — Nice game but clumsy app

*2018-11-05*

The puzzle and story for this game are nice enough, but there's a few problems:

1) If you put the game down halfway through a round, and try to come back to it later, the game you had in progress was gone. So this isn't really a "play when you want" game—you have to be willing to sit down and do nothing else until a round is finished (probably 10 mins or more).

2) The animation is like a slideshow, which makes the finger tracking very imprecise; I often find out it's done a move that isn't what I intended, which I then just have to deal with since there's no way to correct it at that point.

Overall it's fairly nice but it just adds up to more annoyance than it's worth.

### 4/5 — Beautiful and relaxing

*2018-10-25*

This game is beautiful and very relaxing. The only major problem is that it drains your battery incredibly fast.
I am sure that more optimizations will happen soon enough to fix the battery usage issues however. I can’t wait for the “undo” button. 😅

### 4/5 — Nicht schlecht

*2018-10-12*

Das Spiel hat mir ganz gut gefallen, fünf Sterne kann ich aber nicht geben, da ich es zu kurz und zu einfach fand 👍

### 5/5 — 説明されないルールに気づく瞬間がとても楽しい

*2018-09-25*

夢中でプレイしていましたが、残り曲一枚というところでどうしても黄色ピースが見つからず進めなくなり悔しいです。まさか脱出ゲーム的な詰み方をするとは…
あと開始時に一度選択したレコードを動かしてしまうと強制終了します。

### 5/5 — Liebevoll gestaltete Spieleperle

*2018-09-15*

Ein unglaublich liebevoll gestaltetes Puzzle bzw. Match-2-Spiel in einem sowohl grafisch als auch musikalisch tollen Gewand. Wollte es eigentlich nur antesten und kann es seitdem nicht mehr aus der Hand legen. Jeden Euro wert!

### 4/5 — Ran out of plants

*2018-09-09*

I turned my last two plants into a monolith with four moves left. I couldn’t use up my growing turns because there was “nothing to grow”. But I couldn’t plant anything because I didn’t have anything to plant. Lost all my earned triangles and points because I had to start over in this predicament. Otherwise it’s a pretty mediocre game. Fine to play in the background of watching tv, or killing time. Not a super satisfying narrative, and would have appreciated if the field of play changed shape or something as the game went on.

### 5/5 — Beautiful, enjoyable game!

*2018-09-06*

I really enjoyed playing this game! I couldn’t put it down for three hours straight after opening it for the first time.

I wish I could save games and return to them though. As I’ve been playing on the go I’ve had trouble finishing a game in under 10 minutes and then I lose my progress because I push the game to the background.

Overall though, I really enjoy this game and it is worth the $5. :)

### 1/5 — 最初の面？のターンを終えたあと何も出来ない

*2020-06-11*

チュートリアル？が終わって1面を最終ターンまで終わらせたあと、何も起きません。下の方にある三角形のくぼみがあるブロックをタップするとズームされるけど、それだけ。ゲームデータをリセットして最初からやり直しても同じ…説明がなくて次にやることが分からないだけなのかバグなのかよくわかんないです…お金返して欲しい…

### 1/5 — Не интересно

*2019-05-31*

Тупая игра. Одно и то же. Не переходишь на следующий уровень. Картинка не меняется. За три дня игра надоест

### 1/5 — Very annoying

*2019-03-06, version 1.1.0*

Extremely annoying little game, with no sense of progress. Stuck on the first level with no sign of it ever ending or the option to play another one.

Wouldn’t buy it again

### 1/5 — Can i get a refund?

*2018-08-21, version 1.0*

This game wasnt what i expected and i would like my money returned. Thank you in advance.

### 1/5 — 결제취소주세요

*2018-08-21*

실수로 지문인식되서 다운로드되는데 바로 중지시켯는데 왜 환불이 안되나요? 핸드폰에 다운받아지지도 않앗는데요

### 2/5 — Game glitches

*2023-05-11*

Sometimes I lose my special tokens because if you click away after using them, the upgraded plants return to what they were previously and the token is gone. The back button also disappears often.

### 2/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2018-09-03, version 1.0.1*

I really regret spending money on this game. I played it for a few days but never found the point. I thought there would be more to it than just combining flowers to make bigger ones to get triangles to do it somewhere else. Totally not worth it in my opinion.

### 2/5 — Not the experience I expected

*2018-08-23, version 1.0*

It’s just 2048 with some new mechanics and graphics that kill your phone twice as fast. There’s no “narrative” portion, just a myst-esque overworld with some buttons you have to click on to progress and some vague gameplay hints. Too expensive to be worth it.

### 2/5 — Just not fun

*2018-08-18*

Wow, I really regret spending money on this. It’s essentially a match-based puzzle game where you can spread flower tiles to neighboring tiles using seeds. It claims to contain some sort of narrative, but it’s light / completely absent depending on how much you decide to read into context clues. It doesn’t feel satisfying to solve puzzles, and there’s no reward for doing well other than more puzzle tiles. I don’t know how the dev rationalizes the price with the gameplay being as shallow as it is. Bleh. Bad purchase.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We would like to say that the game has a lot of depth that's hidden beneath the surface, and a lot of the elements of the game reveal themselves over time. Most players will spend 6+ hours finding all of the game's hidden secrets and gameplay rules, but it does take patience and determination! That said, we are giving some thought to how we can offer some gentle guidance for players to find the next step in their journey.

### 3/5 — Not visually accessible

*2021-11-08*

My biggest issue is that it is stylized in a way where the game board is only warm red hues and all the flowers are the same color (even if they are different shapes) so it’s hard for people with visual perception differences to tell them apart. I wish the different stages of the flowers where different colors so they were easier to tell apart.

### 5/5 — Perfect recess

*2025-12-18*

Completed the game but i still go back to it and make gardens. Still trying to figure out how to light up the 3rd super tower. It’s possible. My brother did it.  Also haven’t solved the cryptogram on the coffin…. Love a good puzzle and the music makes it perfect.

### 5/5 — Subtil

*2021-12-11*

Très bon jeux! Délicat et complexe!
Musique douce. Très agréable a jouer. La réflexion est de mise

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2020-10-30*

Been playing this for about a year, been through the whole field about 4 times and only got stuck once.  I find it relaxing and absorbing.  My only frustration is that on the main screen occasionally There will be a challenge that is impossible to accomplish in the available spots.

### 5/5 — Klasse Entspannungspuzzler!

*2020-08-19*

Eine geheimnisvolle Stimmung wie z.B. in Kensho und ein „Aufkombinieren“ à la Triple Town, dazu noch eine Story und nette Helfertiere und Extras. Erfüllt alle Erwartungen, die ich an einen (schwer wegzulegenden) Zen-Puzzler habe.

### 5/5 — The best game on my phone

*2020-05-16, version 1.1.0*

I’ve had this game for two years now, and I can’t believe that I haven’t written a review yet! It’s my second most used app (aside from YouTube)
And the best purchase that I’ve made on my phone to this day! I love the gameplay and how there is no “hand holding” along the way. It’s just you, your thoughts and the stunning graphics. I finished the main story in a mere month, but I still play it all the time! The addition of the cave with it’s daily challenge is really fun! If anyone is confused about what it does; it gives you more flowers at a higher level in the beginning spawn. And the music is fantastic! I have no complaints about this game!

### 5/5 — 죄송합니다

*2019-12-17*

잘못 눌렀는데 환불 부탁드릴게요

### 5/5 — Adorei!

*2019-08-20*

Lindos gráficos, jogo inteligente e viciante. Gostei tanto que depois de ter jogado até o final da história vou fazer tudo outra vez!

### 5/5 — Magnifique hommage

*2019-06-04*

Je me retrouve par contre bloquer à un puzzle de fin, impossible de trouver le 2e triangle jaune nécessaire. 

I’m stuck finding a 2nd yellow stone for one of the last puzzles :(

Great job !

### 5/5 — 👍🏽👍🏽

*2019-05-27*

very well put game. i liked how there’s no instructions because then it got my mind to think what i really needed to do. i hope with the update there will be more levels, i finished this game in about 3 days but i was constantly playing so if you don’t have that kind of time it will probably take you longer to complete. it would be a bummer if there will no longer be any further levels because of the price paid.

### 5/5 — Mysterious and lovely

*2019-04-06*

I appreciate the lack of hand-holding. So many games have tutorials that walk you through every little detail; it can feel like being a kindergartener. Evergarden dropped me into its puzzle and let me work out the rules myself, which became part of the fun. There’s a mysterious feeling to this game, as though it’s a single piece of some larger world.
The gameplay is reminiscent of Triple Town (or 2048/Threes), combining small-valued flowers into bigger ones, but the mechanism is different. And then there’s a larger matching game overlaying that, and I’ve just gotten to some mini-games that unlock new powers and reveal bits of what may be a story...
Highly recommended if you enjoy thoughtful puzzles and tranquil moods.
