There’s something about the lo-fi aesthetic of Cloud Gardens that just looks gorgeous. It’s a really relaxing experience creating your own little green paradise, and if you’re anything like me doing so will fill up your storage with screenshots very quickly. Creative mode lets you place plants and items wherever you want, to create whatever glorious scene your heart desires. Perhaps the most enjoyable part of Cloud Gardens is the creative mode, especially when you’ve unlocked a vast array of objects and seeds (or if you choose to unlock everything in the menus). By the end of the game you’ll have a vast selection of flora to pick from, all with their own strengths and weaknesses. Ivy is fantastic if it has some mesh to cling onto, whereas cacti are happy in the dirt. Each of these grows better in certain situations, and should be placed accordingly. To make the flowery takeover of the world a bit easier, you’ll slowly unlock more and more seeds as you progress through Cloud Gardens. There’s a percentage counter in the bottom corner of the screen, and once nature has sufficiently taken over you’ll be able to move on to the next stage. This might sound easy, but placing objects in the cramped stages of Cloud Gardens without accidentally destroying the plants you’re trying to grow can be a tough task. By collecting enough seeds you’ll be able to plant another bit of greenery and the cycle begins anew. Once a plant has grown enough, it’ll start producing seeds. These could be anything from road signs to garden gnomes, but it’s important to place them because your plants only grow when you place one of these “decorations” into the level. Once you pick a suitable spot to pop a seed, you’re given a pile of objects to place around the world. When you arrive at a floaty level, you’re given a number of seeds to plant. It’s probably quite obvious that Cloud Gardens is a pretty Zen experience already, but I should describe how the game works. Whether you’re in an abandoned car park or a stretch of road, it’s nice to see life find a way in this desolate world. There’s no sign of life in these little dioramas, only empty but familiar places. They don’t come much more relaxing than Cloud Gardens, a game about taking the world back from ugly man made sculptures.Įach stage of Cloud Gardens is a floating island with remnants of humanity cluttering it, and your task is to plant seeds and let the green run wild. As much as I enjoy high octane gameplay and a test of my skill, sometimes I just want to unwind with a video game. Finally, placeable items are limited, so don’t waste them.Some games are about fighting demons with massive swords, some games are about gunning down bad dudes, and some games are about growing plants. Where, if not correctly placed, the debris might fall and destroy plants, lowering the total area covered. Collecting these will allow the player to plant more seeds and change the type of seed. After a few growths, they will grow fruit or flowers. The plants will grow when more items we place near them. Adding some variety to your wee urban garden. For example, one seed will only grow on walls, others need fertile ground. You will unlock a bunch of different seeds, each growing a different way. The object of each diorama is to populate it with debris for plants to grow on and make it look pretty. Each different area offers themed dioramas to play with. Highway, Junkyard, Railroad, Greenhouse, Graveyard and Factory. There are 150 (give or take a few) dioramas that have been broken down into six areas. It is not because it’s bad the problem is it’s too simple. I found it hard to do a long run on this title. Dioramas!!Ĭloud Garden is a super simple game to pick up and play for an hour or 10 minutes. And this is mother Earth reclaiming what is rightfully hers.
There are small glimpses through the levels that humans are no more. There is no story per se in Cloud Garden. Review Rush was kindly supplied with a review code.
