About The UnderGarden
The UnderGarden is a casual Zen game that challenges players to explore beautiful underground caverns filled with strange life forms, sound, music and plenty of hidden secrets. Casual gamers with an affinity towards puzzle games will enjoy The UnderGarden’s modern exploration quest filled with brain teasing games that combine state of the art 3D rendering and physics based puzzles. Players traverse large underground worlds in search of members of their musical band. The goal is to bring them together and lead them to the surface. Along the way, players will encounter puzzles that must be solved and strange life forms that must be befriended or avoided. Provides a truly visceral and relaxing gameplay experience that gamers will enjoy as a contrast to the frenzied action of most popular core titles.

- Serene music and audio is threaded within the game to enhance user experience.
- Progress is driven by player’s own pace, desire to see their effect on the world, and exploration of new environments.

[h1] Nice art style but gameplay is very slow. You fly around with your dude seeding some pollen so flora can bloom. Each seeds have different properties and you use them to solve puzzles. Not a bad game just very tedious to play. Idea is somewhat fresh and original. Soundtrack is ok. Game was published by Atari so quality is there. [/h1]18 found this helpful
I really love this game. Not only is it nostalgic for me (from maybe 2013/2014), but it's so very peaceful, adorable, gorgeous, cozy and all around pleasant to play in my opinion. The controls may sometimes be a little fidgety since it's very physics based (especially when carrying heavy or light fruit), but I think it's a nice game considering I loved it when I was 13/14 years old playing with friends and I still love it about ten years later. It's simple enough to fit a child/ teenager (it's also not very violent, some plants explode but nothing harms you) and it's nice to play around with the musicians and customization. I do however think it fits an adult as well considering that it is a little tricky to control at times and getting every collectible and finishing each level with 100% might take a while to do. It's also just so relaxing. I personally enjoy a break from all the hectic games which usually seem to be either too all over the place for me to chill with or just too complicated to even bother to understand. I also really like that this game feels so unique. You fly around, making plants grow beautifully and solve simple but rather time consuming puzzles. You can coll…1 found this helpful
It's cute.. But the level design and puzzles were very much a no for me.
When I first played this game back in the OG xbox arcade days I remember being really impressed. It had beautiful visuals and stood out as something different and chill. Unfortunately those old feelings didn't quite hold up when I tried to get back into it. The game is still attractive and you may enjoy it I've just seen too much out there for this to be quite enough for me. It's a bit slow and clunky for my taste these days.
This is much easier with a controller than a mouse imo, but it's just a really nice, cute, relaxing game. Great for unwinding
2/10
