Why does it need a point?

Well, if by point he means "objective" then it would need one to be a game.

Well Flow had a "point" you unlocked different creatures and you made your critter bigger, objective enough.

No idea, but judging from the improvement from Flow to Flower it's gonna be a 12/10 game...

Great discussion with the game's creator. Worth a watch!

Hmm, from the interview with Jenova Chen, he said that the game is opposite of that - how in most games you are some kind of destroyer, whereas here you are healing flowers and fields.diss said:

The reviews are right on 
Dustin should have his ready today.
I need only 2 more trophies and have a Q for others who have been playing it:
I've done nearly everything else in the game, but keep playing it. My kids are memorized (err... mesmerized) by it. Audio sounds oohh soo good output in PCM... crank it, there's so much audio detail.
Since the embargo is up, go ahead with the questions. The "twist" isn't that unexpected - it's just the way they build up to it. Also, unlike flOw, Flower does have more of a game-like structure and a more defined goal (even if they don't spell it out), so if that turned you off about flOw, don't worry.

"Pure" Trophy: Does that require you to ace the whole 4th level, or just that fast-moving end gauntlet area?
be careful on level 5 though

Mesmerised, though it might not be that hard to memorize it too

Is it the obvious twist that we're all probably expecting?
timetokill said:
I wouldn't know what that is since I haven't paid a lot of attention to Flower's development, but I didn't know about the twist I did read beforehand.
It's no biggie - it's just that if anyone doesn't want to know anything, they should stay away from the PSU review.
It's actually quite instinctive. I was worried about whether or not people would 'get it,' so I asked my roommate (who plays maybe one or two games a year) to take a minute and try it out. I told her nothing about the controls or even what you're supposed to do, I just handed her the controller and said 'ok go!'ciaossu said:
She "got it" in like a minute. Once it's in your hands Flower is completely intuitive. I really doubt it but I hope they wind up doing a demo.

I can't say that's much of a twist.
Well I mean, maybe if you haven't thought about it that much... but I just figured that had to be where it ended up going even if it was never really confirmed until now.
(audio spoilers)
That's fucking awesome.

"this time they dont create a melody, but instead sound out a discord of notes that jar to the ear"
That's fucking awesome.

Just one thing: I´m totally pumped for this, but I didn´t "get" Flow - will I still enjoy Flower?Jim said:The reviews are right on

Well, my guess is: (just in case, spoiler tagged)
the city/industrialization/etc. is "evil" based on the opening premise ("a flower's dreams from the city") that you have to deal with some gloomier settings that involve taking nature back from some city elements or something. Probably some girders or electric poles or some such.
From a narrative standpoint that guess has elements of what's going on, but I think the hook and what's appealing to people is really more about the interaction of that experience. I mean, you can know the ending of a book but still appreciate the circumstances that lead to it, right? Flower's hands off delivery of narrative through mood, music, and atmosphere is what makes it extraordinary, imo.timetokill said:

That's cool. I'm mostly interested in the music, the composer for that game is awesome.

I loved fl0w's music.
Is fl0wer's music from the same guy? How awesome/relaxing is it?

Same. I still have no idea what this game is but im buying it on Thursday lol. Great reviews though, wow.

Unfortunately, the music in fl0wer is not from the same person as who did the music in fl0w. Which is quite disappointing because I LOVED the music from fl0w. Not to go off topic, but the fl0w music will be released on iTunes soon, I will definitely be picking it up.
