TETRIS: Flower Garden Reviews

This is classic Tetris with gorgeous backgrounds. Rather than including features that would actually have an impact on the gameplay experience it would appear that, much of the development efforts went into the visual theme. The game offers a very stripped-down experience without any interesting gameplay variants. Here we are Tetris, which is more robust as a screensaver than it is as an actual game.

This has a little bit nicer graphics than the other Tetris games that are available, but it is kind of expensive as most puzzle games usually cost lest than $10. The game seems to respond to the controls fairly slowly, and when I try to click on exit the game doesn't seem to close.

Honestly a terrible tetris game. Blocks are often unresponsive to key commands, the game starts at too fast a pace, sometimes difficult to distinguish between blocks and background, game instantly restarts upon dying, and there are no apparently options--not even the ability to change keys. Very lousy; I would request a refund if only that were possible.

Incredibly beautiful Tetris, where instead of the usual elements, parts of the composition that need to be assembled will fall.The very process of gameplay soothes and allows you to enjoy the aesthetic beauty of flowers.

the visual impact the pieces have on game play is generally unpleasant and the keys are not mapped the same as most tetris variants are which makes it feel weird. It starts out just a touch too fast and you get no visual indicators as to the edge of the gaming area, just a background that creates so many contrast issues against the pieces that it distracts from the game which is such a shame considering how much fun the background changes were in the original tetris.

I don't often write reviews but I felt compelled to do so in this instance because I haven’t seen any other reviews mention the issues I experienced. I was looking forward to playing this game but it turned out to be a big disappointment. The floral tetriminoes and the backgrounds look beautiful. However, on the main-menu screen the text in the top left-hand corner is in an illegible font and so blurry, it's impossible to read. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2832815402 How on earth did that Vaseline-smeared mess ever get approved?! It doesn't seem as if this game received any QA. In fact, I’d be very surprised if it's officially licensed by The Tetris Company. [u] No controller support [/u] Full controller support is the norm for this type of game, and therefore I assumed it would have it. After having no luck with a controller running Steam in regular mode, I tried Big Picture Mode. The controller settings menu in BPM displayed a yellow warning triangle with the following text: [b] Controller Configuration Required [/b] This game wasn't designed for controllers, but you can play it with your Steam Controller. The game may show keyboard hints during gameplay. At this point I quit the game and uninstalled. The regular price is £19.49 but I purchased it on sale for £1.86 as part of the Buy Puzzle 3 bundle which included another game from the same developer, ‘How does it work!?’ Due to the steep discount, I wasn’t going to bother requesting a refund but after thinking about it I decided I could put that money towards a game made by developers who actually care about the quality of their products. For now, I'll stick to Tetris 99 on Switch and the various other versions of Tetris I own on 3DS, etc. [i] [Edited for formatting] [/i]
