### 3/5 — I love this game. Rendering issues on 17 Pro.

*2026-09-01, version 1.3.0*

This game has been a favorite of mine since it originally came out on the PS3. There appears to be a rendering issue, though. I hope but do not expect it to be fixed.

### 3/5 — 可不可以解决一下录屏的问题

*2026-08-08, version 1.3.0*

录屏游戏就给我出现各种bug，赶紧修一下呀

### 4/5 — Amazing game

*2026-07-07, version 1.3.0*

This is an amazing game!It has such a beautiful story line.However I did easily get confused on where to go  sometimes.Also the controls where a little hard.Don’t get me wrong,I love that game company,but the storyline’s are always the same.It goes 1.Need to go on journey to save the world 2.Is happy and fun and the world is already so much better 3.Big dangerous scary part that makes your heart thump 4.You successfully save the world and you fly up into heaven.I only have mobile so I’ve personally only played flower,Sky,and Journey.But they are all the same.Overall great game and I definitely recommend it!

### 4/5 — Could use a patch fix, or a few updates

*2025-10-28, version 1.3.0*

Over the years after I originally bought and played the game I’ve noticed that as time went on (not in game but in real life) certain things started to break down. For example the sky. The sky changes to odd colors, but most of time it’s a bright (very bright) blue especially in dark areas like atop the spire it’s supposed to be dark but nope BRIGHTNESS.

### 2/5 — Game freezes at the end of level 6 flower

*2025-08-01, version 1.3.0*

It freezes at the moment when the spires are shown after the window in the sky is shown. Before it freezes, a purple square appears for a second. There is also some kind of circle in the sky. Device: iPhone 11

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2025-03-29, version 1.3.0*

I expected more. I can’t even figure out what I’m supposed to do!😢

### 3/5 — Why isn’t there an option to listen to my own music while playing the game?

*2025-02-21, version 1.3.0*

It would be great to have the option to listen to my own music while playing, without needing another device.

### 3/5 — Wonderful but broken

*2024-11-03, version 1.3.0*

The graphics have been broken for a couple of versions of iOS/iPad OS now, and it doesn’t look like the devs will be around to sort this.

If you’re considering this game, and the latest version goes back to 2020, then save your money. M

### 2/5 — Glitchy visuals on 16 pro max

*2024-10-23, version 1.3.0*

Performance is good and the game is beautiful and charming when it works well but some levels the graphics are all screwed up. So far the worst I’ve seen is whenever the levels have a strong sepia filter placed over them you will see lots of white light turn green and the whole sky will be full of weird artifacts in the shape of lines and circles. This game is tricky to get running on other platforms but that’s where I suggest you play it.

### 3/5 — Only works on iPad

*2024-07-20, version 1.3.0*

I was playing this game on my uncle’s ps3 and I found it on iOS so I used my last $5 on it and spent 10 mins trying to figure it out and after a while I realized it only works on iPad :/ (also there’s no save)

### 3/5 — Motion sick after 2 levels

*2023-10-23, version 1.3.0*

Playing on iPad. Unpleasant.

### 3/5 — Disappointing controls plus no auto save?

*2023-09-30, version 1.3.0*

I want to love this game, I’ve had it saved for ages, finally had some extra cash that I could justify buying it but I’d be lying if I said I was extreme disappointed. To start with there seems to be no auto save or the save points start too far out for someone whose just trying to get used to the game and controls. Probably wouldn’t be an issue except that the controls are so touchy and wonky that I’ve shut it off several times in the same evening after getting tired of fight with it. I shouldn’t need to turn the phone so far to the right that I can barely see the screen, but alternately any turn of the device to the left given too much of a reaction. The fact that I have to hold the phone almost flat to get it to point low enough to hit the targets is also very inconvenient. I honestly wouldn’t have even given it three starts but I like the graphics and the tranquil environment, if only it weren’t for the crap controls.

### 3/5 — Beautiful game horrible controls

*2023-06-17, version 1.3.0*

Controls make it stressful and unplayable

### 3/5 — 綺麗だけど

*2022-10-25*

操作がすごい難しいのと個人的に画面酔いするから短時間ずつしかできないけど綺麗ではある

### 3/5 — Obra de arte pero no puedo terminar

*2022-10-15*

Es una obra de arte, me encanta y es muy relajante. Pero estoy teniendo un problema en el iPhone 11 que cuando llego al final del nivel 5, en el pequeño vídeo que aparece el juego se me bloquea y no puedo ver el final del clip, muy decepcionante ya que es el fin del juego y ya tienes que empezar el nivel otra vez, probablemente para volver a bloquearse.

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2022-07-29, version 1.3.0*

I first played this on PlayStation and thought it was a great game then but it’s just as beautiful on iPad played with PS controller.The game plays very smooth with lovely music which is enhanced greatly when using headphones glad to have this game again.

### 5/5 — 이런 게임이 많이 나왔으면 한다.

*2022-03-28*

한 번 반짝하고 그 후엔 조명을 받지 못했는데, 내가 볼 땐 충분히 지금도 경쟁력이 있는 음악과 몰입도와 그래픽을 가지고 있다고 생각한다. 이 게임이 출시된지 오래됐지만, 오래 전에 구매한 게임이라고 생각되지 않을 만큼 내겐 감동적인 게임이다. 한 가지 단점으로, 안드로이드에서 찾을 수 없다는 것 정도를 꼽을 수 있겠다.

### 1/5 — 操作性が…

*2025-10-30*

家の中でなら操作する際にかなり画面傾けるのでいいですが、
出先のちょっとした時間の時とかにはさわれない。
こんなにも携帯傾けたりしないといけないと気軽に楽な姿勢で遊びにくい
画像は綺麗ですが私には合わなくてアンストかな…

### 1/5 — 操作性が悪い

*2025-07-15*

買い損だと思う

### 1/5 — Controls don’t work

*2023-03-25, version 1.3.0*

I used to enjoy this. Game was as nice as on PS3. Got a new phone a year ago and now the controls don’t work. I can touch to zoom and select the icons at the window and that’s it. Can’t twist. Can’t turn. Can’t change control styles and have it work. A real loss.

### 1/5 — 本当にいらいらする

*2022-03-05*

操作性が酷くやりづらい。
各ステージ後にムービーが観れるらしいが結局一つも見れなかった。
最終ステージに関しては、急に上下操作が逆反応し非常にやりずらくいらいらした。
途中の暗いステージでも、結局花で何をしたいのかんからない。

ここの会社はあまり説明を入れるのが好きではないのかもしれないが、今回お金払って結果がこうだったので、ここの会社の物は買わないようにしようとしか思えなかった。

### 1/5 — Vertigo alert!

*2021-04-18, version 1.3.0*

I saw this only recently, from Smithsonian and other reviews, about what a beautiful game it is, collecting flower petals. Well I went ahead and purchased it and it turns out I need Dramamine just to look at it. I never felt so dizzy and nauseous! It’s made me very physically sick. There’s also zero tips or hints on how to navigate or what to do AT ALL. There should be warnings on this!!!!

### 1/5 — I’m still feeling dizzy

*2021-03-30, version 1.3.0*

So far, I’ve played Sky and Journey on IOS. Sky was a joy and helped me through the worst of lockdown. Journey was an incredible experience. This just made me dizzy. 
Although I’ve experienced issues with the controls in the above mentioned games. Neither of them were anywhere near as frustrating as Flower. The tilt screen defeats the point of the beautiful visuals, which you can’t even see properly when you’re tilting your screen at an absurd angle in order to dive bomb petals. And I’m still feeling car sick, even as I write this. 
Give this game a miss.

### 1/5 — Please fix the bugs

*2021-03-14, version 1.3.0*

Won’t even get to the title screen. It shows a few logos then crashes

### 1/5 — 환불요청합니다

*2020-10-20*

잘못 설치되었어요. 환불해주세요.

### 1/5 — On iPhone XS, a rip off!

*2020-10-18, version 1.3.0*

Game will simply not progress beyond the title screen!  I will be seeking a refund, promptly.

### 1/5 — Schizophrenic controls....

*2020-09-27, version 1.3.0*

....Psychotic one moment & neurotic the next - I’m sure there’s a great game buried in here but it’s hard to find it and play it consistently....

### 5/5 — R

*2025-01-05, version 1.3.0*

Very fun

### 5/5 — I LOVE THATGAMECOMPANY AND ANNAPURNA INTERACTIVE!

*2024-11-24, version 1.3.0*

Thank you for making ‘Sky’ ‘Flower’ and ‘Journey’. They are all life changing. Since the day I saw them in the App Store, they all are my FAVORITE GAMES. They changed my life, and Sky and Flower helped me in stressful situations, calm down. Journey is great, more related to Sky than Flower is, and it’s about adventure. (They all are but Journey is the most about adventure I would say) and Sky is about happiness, friends, and having fun! Special thanks to,

—Special Thanks to, ANNAPURNA INTERACTIVE and THATGAMECOMPANY for making my favorite games!

### 5/5 — Beautiful game

*2024-09-19, version 1.3.0*

It’s the best game ever so relaxing

### 5/5 — 操作方法

*2024-07-26*

他の人のレビューを見ていると操作性が難しいと言っている人がいますが、アプデにより、メニュー画面で操作設定の変更ができるようになりました！

### 5/5 — Have Loved this Game for Years

*2024-07-17, version 1.3.0*

Some games I like to play for the challenge, other games I like to play to relax. “Flower” goes a bit beyond relaxation and dips its toes into zen meditations. I highly recommend. My only critique is that it’s kinda short, albeit replayable.

### 5/5 — Игра детства

*2024-07-16*

Играл в нее еще на ps3

### 5/5 — I love this

*2024-03-09, version 1.3.0*

This game is so fun and relaxing,you just have to get used to the controls,I do wish there were more levels,I finished the game in about a day or so.

### 5/5 — 最後の最後で固まる

*2023-11-18*

PNSダウンロード版から好きで、スマホでも遊べると知り、喜んでダウンロードしました。

しかし、最後のステージで窓辺の鉢に入る演出のあとすぐに映像が固まって動かなくなってしまいます。

何度かアプリをリフレッシュしてゲームスタートするのですが、何度やっても同じところで固まります。

### 5/5 — Долго ждал,

*2023-07-08*

когда же эта игра появится на чём-то, кроме Сони ПлейСтейшн.

Управлять не очень удобно, звук наверно нужно слушать в наушниках, но сама игра увлекает и отвлекает. Даже если не проходить уровень целиком, а просто полетать над зелёными полями несколько минут.

Понравится наверняка не всем. Мне — очень понравилось 👍

### 5/5 — Takes my breath away

*2023-01-16, version 1.3.0*

Even the credits are beautiful
