iPhone App: Flower Garden

Posted by Cocoa_Head under Reviews, featured on Friday Apr 17, 2009

The iPhone Flower Garden App looks absolutely fantastic. The concept is very simple simple : plant seeds in a pot, water them, and watch them grow into flowers, all done with a wonderful UI (user interface) and eye candy animation. You unlock new types of flowers as you go along, some of which will grow immediately, and others that take days of tending and watering. When you have flowers in bloom, you can cut various flowers from different types and combine them to make a beautiful bouquet that you can send via email to that special someone. Future improvements and functions for the iPhone Flower Garden app, may go beyond the “grow/cut/send” concept of the current version. Eventually, the developer will be adding in the ability to cross polinate between other Flower Garden users to create completely new breeds of flowers. In other words, the first online flower growing game!? The developer mentioned the future ability to actually grow flowers into messages for the recipient. So a user could create a flower seed with a message that you can send to someone. As they tend to the seeds, they will grow into a flowery message for that person. The iPhone Garden App is available for iPhone and iPod Touch

Features of the iPohne Flower Garden App :

  • A virtual garden complete with the serene sights and sounds of the outdoors, birds, wind etc.
  • Over 20 types of seeds to unlock, expandable game-play.
  • Create mixed bouquets of your best blossoms to share with loved ones by email.
  • Full 3D flowers and bouquets that react to the touch with lovely effects.
  • Unique flowers with realistic growth behaviors
  • A forgiving garden where flowers will wilt but not die while waiting to be tended
  • Email bouquets with personalized cards and custom backgrounds for the perfect composition
