Lilly's Flower Shop

[i]Lilly's Flower Shop[/i] is a classic match-3 game with a colorful flowery theme and a mechanic of spending the coins you earn from completing levels on establishing and later expanding your flower shop business. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2942814860 On the scale of match-3 games, it's an ok one, with all the features you'd expect from the genre (power-ups, special tiles that break only when matches are made around them, bombs created through 4 or 5 matches etc.). It has cute graphics, albeit a tad old-style. The flowery icon set looks nice, but the fact that all tiles (including the special ones) have the same-ish green background and style makes them difficult to distinguish from each other. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2942814880 The levels are quite wide, allowing for plenty of 4 or 5 matches to be created. Currently only one difficulty option is available, although the fact that there is a power up that adds one extra move even though all the levels have unlimited amounts of moves could indicate that more difficulty options were / are planned. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2942814998 The game …

[i]Lilly's Flower Shop[/i] is a match-3 game developed by Graphium Studio and published by Denda Games. You take on the role of Lilly, who has always dreamed of owning a flower shop. She's given a wasteland, and she wants to clean it up and convert it into a beautiful flower store. Of course, Lilly may run into a few obstacles along the way, but they won't stop her from making her dream come true. That's the basic premise of the story. As for the gameplay, [i]Lilly's Flower Shop[/i] is primarily a match-3 game. There are 100 or more levels. The objective is to match 3 or more of the same items (which are flowers or water droplets) and to complete the level according to the specified goals. For example, you may be asked to clear a certain number of flowers, eliminate a few flower pots, and/or clear away dirt spots. Matching more than 3 of the same item results in a power-up on the board that you can use to help clear away items more efficiently. In addition, you'll get access to additional power-ups that can be activated after you unlock them. Also, as the main objective is for Lilly to build her own flower shop, you'll earn coins as you complete levels. Coins are used t…

I had the original version of the game refunded, bought it again for $2 during a sale, after reading that some updates had been applied. Sorry, have to say is about all this game is worth. The flowers and soundtrack are nice, and the storyline is charming despite being hokey. You can combine powerups to get better effects, which is something I don't see with many PC M3 games; this seems to be more a mobile M3 game thing. Otherwise, it looks like a very rough game needing a lot of refinement. The flower shop scene gets finished after playing merely 25% of the game, and the "end game" dialog inexplicably appears at this point, which might make you think that's all there is unless you have the curiosity to click the "Play" button again to get to the rest of the game. When I first started the game, all the texts were in a foreign language (also happened when I played the original version) and I had to "curious click" to figure out where the game options were in the main screen to change it. No windowed mode option. Play action is clunky slow. You can't see the flowerpots to remove in many levels without having to look extremely closely because they get "lost" against the busy …

I would have given a yes for the very little ones as this is way too easy. I give it a no, mainly because of the non-communication about the fact that there are no moles, no move limits which do are being mentioned. There's only the infinite mode in which the board gets shuffled when you are out of moves. I had to contact the company by e-mail to ask for a response. And even after a second go, they don't seem to want to respond on the difficulty questions. And the fix for level 41 was poorly done. So, a no for not giving what is said there would be. EDIT: 4/4/23 I got a response. One can indeed choose the difficulty level at start. I forgot. So, for now, to play another difficulty, delete the game's user folder. As this is obviously a children's game (and even then), this a certainly not a proper way of handling things so I keep this thumbs down until they fix it. Replaying the level in hard mode, I noticed level 71 had a wrong target but it was solvable. You would guess one would go over all the levels to check this as I had given a wrong one on which I got even stuck before. Moles are not very common. One cannot replay a single level, there's just the loop of 100. Tiles…

So this is a cute and relaxing game but I would ONLY RECOMMEND it on sale. It is very short, under three hours. I feel like it could have been a lot more than it was! There was a set up for a more involved story, but it didn't really go anywhere. The match three was very relaxing and pretty, with nice background music.

I am giving a thumbs up to this game because it a great game for family fun. Buy in bundle or on sale.!!!! Not a game for expert players ;who want a challenge.
