Hidden Flowers Reviews

I got this game on sale during the steam summer sale event. The art and the idea drew me to the game but I was very disappointed with the whole experience.

I was looking forward to playing this HOG till I realised it was another infamously bugged Hede Game offering. As with all the others I have tried to play it was stupendously fundamentally bugged. All the Hede Games seem to suffer from the same irritating errors in calculation and computation. The most galling are the frequent returns to a nearly blank screen as the game decides to randomly reset your progress and the miscalculated items found score which leads to a Game End screen well before you have found all the items. I fail to see how this could be an intended part of the overall game play experience! Added to those issues are all the ones I have previously outlined in the past 3 games from Hede I have attempted to play without an overwhelming sense of frustration. The price requested for one of Hedes games is astronomical for a deeply flawed but sadly wonderfully drawn game. However even the art is no compensation for the recurring unfixed issues in each game. This game had an added issue in so much as some of the items to be found were totally a different colour to what is in the picture as with the pink flowers that are orange in the finished product. You can see this in the screen shot I have supplied. I wish the developers actually read these comments and took on board the amount of negative votes their games have been given by players and sorted out these issues instead of just making ANOTHER BUGGED GAME, with all the same bugs!

It was great for 10 mins, but its only for 2 rounds, then it is repetitive.

On sale for 1 dollar and still not worth it. Just one static level that took 3 minutes to clear...?

Literally only that single page and you find 26 objects. That's it. It's the same objects too, or at least so similar that playing it twice I didn't notice a difference. I'm not playing it any more than that

This game is garbage. Only one puzzle, forces player to find objects in a baffling order, some objects are entirely behind scenery. I want my time back.

Even under 1€ this is definitely a no, so it's ridiculous they even dare normally to ask more then 8€ for what you get. First of all only 1 screen. Only 25 objects to search and you are already finished. And not always the game reacts well when you have found the right object. Also false or incorrect tags are used here (for example action, 2d-fightgame) on the Steampage, so they even just are lying here right in your face !!!

I only got this because it was $1.45 AU on sale. This is a blatant scam don't get it. 7gb of storage and for what?? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

1) The first and biggest concern is that this game weighs over 7 GB. Fishy. 2) The music isn't at all fitting and cannot be switched off in-game 3) Janky mouse controls for moving the image

Of all the HOG games available from "developer" Hede this is by far the worst. Once again - similar to [i]Hidden Town[/i] - we have a file size of more than 7 gigabytes, yet, interestingly, the level here consists of a small picture only. Due to the dimensions zooming doesn't really make any sense - which, by the way, is only possible with the use of a bar at the top instead of using the mouse wheel. As usual, we have a dropdown that puts the camera back to the center (other selections have the same result so it makes no sense). The music is identical to other HOG games (nowhere near as pleasant as the store page video indicates) and while in other instances under settings I managed to find a working language selection feature, here you only see the languages available (probably all in existence) but changing it still shows menu texts in English. As indicated by the title every hidden object is a flower - the picture in the upper left corner shows what you need to look for but it isn't much of a help as the flowers look slightly different or positioned in a different way. Going through the game will involve lots of unnecessary clicking just like in the rest of the HOG titles by Hede. And remember: these games are almost at 100 EUR but now (and regularly) they enjoy a 90% discount. The last time this was under 1 EUR was more than a year ago.
