Stop and Smell the Flowers

this game lets me touch grass while I'm online, and I love that. takes a few minutes to get the garden growing and then it's lovely to have up in the background while I'm doing other things, taking little harvest and replant breaks instead of scrolling on my phone. if you like idle games and productivity helpers, this ones a great get!

A simple and cute concept, well made and well enjoyed. What you see is exactly what you get but the process of discovering the new flowers was quite pleasant. If they ever come out with even more flowers I would happily return to my little garden :)

Simple, fun game. Well worth the $5 if you're looking for something to play while watching tv

[b] TLDR: i loved this, get the game! Relaxing, no-stress collection sim with a simple yet weirdly addictive gameplay loop.

The only objective in the game is to complete the entire flower collection (consisting of Many, Many hybrids), which is done via a very simple and repetitive gameplay loop. Essentially, plant some seeds, collect flowers, turn them into more seeds, etc etc etc. There are essentially zero [i]challenging[/i] factors to the gameplay, and the progression is enjoyably smooth. So beware, high-stakes game enjoyers, this may not be for you. However, believe me when I say the game is surprisingly addictive. I'm not entirely the target audience for the experience, but I saw the post-launch devlogs about Stop and Smell the Flowers and just wanted to support a dev that made something real and out of their heart. To my surprize I could not put the game down until I accomplished the main objective!! And of course, there is the art and the music, which complete the experience and make the game very warm, ge…

This is a lovely game to play while listening to an audiobook and chilling. I enjoy growing all the beautiful flowers and adding them to the collection. Highly satisfying.

It's a very cool game and so addictive! 10/10!
