About Space Flowers

Space Flowers is an intra-galactic tradewars game. You start with a basic starship at a friendly starbase. You can buy a variety of different flowers to sell elsewhere and then begin exploring the galaxy looking for other starbases to trade with. Some are friendly and will trade with you immediately. Some are hostile and will attack your ship if you enter their systems. Others are more or less neutral and will react based on your actions. You can also attack hostile starbases and engage in combat with them to gain experience and valuable items in the debris you salvage from their destroyed ships. Destroy enough enemy ships and the system will surrender to you and become one of your allies. You can also peacefully ally with star systems just by trading with them enough. Every transaction you make with them will raise your influence with them until they eventually ally with you.

There are also specialty starbases you can find that will sell parts to upgrade your starship. You can upgrade your engines, weapons, shields, armor and firing control. As you gain experience, you will find out an alien presence is starting to invade and take over starbases in the galaxy. You will need to deal with this threat as well.

You have also learned that your long lost family has been scattered among the stars. You will be provided clues as to where they are located, and you can choose to search for them as well. Every member of your lost family is unique and brings an extra bonus that will help you in your mission.

The ultimate goal is to ally yourself with every starbase in the galaxy through trade or warfare. Use skill and cunning to find the most profitable trade routes, deliver specialty goods for additional profits, and accumulate funds to upgrade your ship to advance in rank from a lowly bud to the ultimate Star Flower! Whether you advance peacefully or through warfare (or a little of both) is entirely up to you.

✦ AI summary

Players widely criticize Space Flowers for its borrowed art assets, minimal gameplay depth, and repetitive audio design, with the space trading mechanics feeling like a shallow imitation of classics like Star Control 2 and Elite. A few acknowledge that the game at least runs without technical issues and has a certain charm, but this barely outweighs the dated visuals, lack of graphics customization options, and confusing thematic choices that leave most players recommending avoidance.

I'm not sure whether my favourite part of this game is the stolen art assets, the 10 second loop of music within starbases, or the barely-there gameplay. Avoid. P.S: It's probably the textbox on Zach telling me that refunds are not "guaranetted"

Space Flowers is bad... like, really bad. It's essentially a kind of "space trader" ripoff of Star Control 2 and Elite where you control a spaceship in a 2D top down "SpaceWar!/Asteroids" manner and buy and sell flowers between different spaceports. It's completely unclear why there's a girly/flowers theme for this otherwise science-fiction themed game, but I can tell you one thing, it does not "work" thematically. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers. This really is j…

Charming graphics, simplistic gameplay, but whatever's here does, technically, function, which is more than I can say for some games in this class.
