Petal Picker
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pick the petal on top. Every level is a bouquet of overlapping flowers, and you take it apart one piece at a time. There is one rule: you can only lift a piece with nothing lying over it. Shadows show you what covers what, and when one comes away it may free the piece underneath. A flower's centre is a piece too, and usually the first to go: it sits over the roots of its own petals. Usually ā until another flower settles on top of it, and then the centre is the thing you have to dig out. It starts with a few flowers, room to breathe. A few hundred levels in, they are stacked deep enough to bury a flower whole, and finding the one loose piece is the whole game. A LEVEL IS A MINUTE, OR FIVE No timers. No energy to wait for. No score to chase. Open it in a queue, clear a bouquet, put it away. WHAT'S IN IT ⢠Thousands of bouquets, each grown from its own seed ⢠Six kinds of flower and twelve colours, drawn by the game as you play ⢠Difficulty that climbs for a few levels, eases off, then climbs a little higher ⢠Every bouquet can be cleared ā there is always a way through ⢠Each pick plays the next note of a pentatonic scale, so a good run sounds like one ⢠Pinch to zoom in when it gets close ⢠Three hearts a level, and starting over is always free ⢠iPhone in portrait, iPad in portrait or landscape FREE TO PLAY, ONE THING TO BUY Every level is free. If you would rather never run out of hearts, Zen Mode is a single purchase ā unlimited hearts, no ads, shared with your family, and you can switch hearts back on whenever you like. NOTHING IS COLLECTED No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no tracking, no ad networks. Your progress stays on your phone. The only ads are short videos for our own other apps, they only play if you tap for one, and nothing about you leaves the device.
