What do the leaves mean? I got two for each fo the two first stages, is it some completion indicator? Seems there's room for three.

Eden's a legit great game. If you don't like it then there's a higher than normal chance you won't like this game?

Heh heh, I'm busy baking a cake and as I was whipping some cream I got a trophy. "Healthy Play - Take a ten minute break between dreams." I was standing there whipping away like a madman when I heard the trophy sound and was like "....huh?"

I don't know why but I felt something rising in my pants as I read this.

It's quite short, but pretty interesting and it has kind of a reply value on it, because there are 3 hidden flowers in each area, which means you have to fly around checking out every corner to find those...

I'd say it's really worth it, even if just because of how pretty it is :D

It's different, the graphics and music are really great. The gameplay has it's own 'flow'. Even if it's short, I don't regret the 7,99€.
Now it's time for me to 100% it. :D

edit: lol Mik2121

Currently figuring out this stuff myself, which is basically what I love about this game. I got three leaves on the first two flowers, which made them flourish. So I guess it is some kind of completion indicator indeed. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm also curious about the side-effects some of the special-colored flowers, like the neon blue one. All of a sudden my entire string was blue and I had some sort of Navi-like blue dot at the front of my string. Does that affect gameplay in any way?

There are 3 leaves/seed pods/whatever (from the hidden blue flowers) on each stage. They show up next to each flower in the pot afterwards, in the order they appear in that stage. The more pods, the "bloomier" the flower in that pot. If you get them all then...

It affects something... not quite gameplay though.

All but 1 trophy are quite easy. There should be no frustration, it's very leisurely.

I don't have Eden, but what I can say is flower is the exact opposite of frustrating. I got 2/14 trophies on my first game.

Stunning.

I really didn't expect the environments to change and become as dark and gritty as they did which was awesome

Just finished it and wow it's such a beautiful game. I only got 19 percent of the trophies, so I guess there's plenty of stuff for me to go back to later on.

Add me to the list of people who really enjoyed Flower. I really have to say, PSN games have been among my favourites lately. Between Flower, Wipeout HD, Pixeljunk Monsters and Burnout Paradise, I haven't found myself playing disc based games in a while.

Just finished the first three levels... twice. Yes, I couldn't wait until I finished to replay them! This is awesome, hopefully my fiancée digs it.

Really enjoyed my first play through, now i'm going back to get all the leaves - also, I noticed that there's a gap in between the 6 flower pots, is there another level to unlock? Possibly by collecting all the leaves from the other levels?

Anyone else finding it hard to properly complete level 5 ?, as just before I reach the end it fades and ends, and when I look at my level 5 flower at the main menu it's droopy :-(.

Just finished, I'm really impressed by the game and the final level... OMG!
It's definetly a great experience where the power of nature awakens, oniric game I'd say.

Unfortunately it slightly induces motion sickness (maybe because of the Sixaxis controls).

That's the way it ends. That Flower just looks like that. Also
the 3 hidden seed pods/leaves from each stage influence the look of each flower.

Just bought it :) So cool game ! I still need some training with the controls but other than that it's really smooth game. Loving the soundtrack <3

So far I completed the first three levels (that is, 3 leaves each). Wonderful game, extremely beautiful and the sound is great as well.

BTW, how are most people using the controller?

I've taken to holding it with the palm of my hand over the front, using l1 as my button.. but anyone got anything better?

Is everything controlled with the sixaxis or can I use the sticks too?

How well do the motion controls work?

Game looks gorgeous.

Heh, I didn't really expect myself to get caught up in the game as much as I did. I was just going to try it, and ended playing it start to finish. :)
For me, this is definitely more than what I've been hearing all the time: "not much of game", "just an experience for relaxation". And compared to Flow, this actually feels less like a small, time-waster/experience, and more like... an adventure with some thought put behind it, and one of the more fascinating examples of storytelling through gameplay. It made me think while playing. And of course, it's a relaxing experience as well. Money well spent, without a doubt. :)

How big is the download file for this? My connection is crap so I'm deciding on waiting to get it until the Thursday rush is over or just DL it tonight.

A thousand times this. Flower is well beyond what I was expecting from it.
