About This Game

Plants is a nontraditional and nonviolent experience where you take control over a growing flower.
Unwind and de-stress with the help of the calm music and serene environment.
Your goal: enjoy the scenery and have a pleasant trip.

Features
- relaxing music
- a stress relieving environment
- family friendly content
- full screen and windowed possibility
- mute sound effects and/or music
- day and night cycle
- 6 flower body mutations

Gameplay
Plants is a single player game in which you first select a flower and then control the flower (upwards). Your friendly flower follows your mouse cursor at all times.
That way you can guide it towards an item, while it leaves a trail of his own body behind.
Flower movement uses energy, picking up water drops prevents running out of energy. When you are out of energy, the session ends.

Update history
This game was already available in other stores. The release here also brings a new update: v1.0.2.
So while v1.0.1 was not available on Steam, here is a presentation of the changes from v1.0.1 to v1.0.2:

Update v1.0.2 brings a lot of new things. (18 changes in total)
The biggest additions are the following:
* Achievements
* 2 new Plant Body mutations: Dark Mode and Twinkling Stardust

New content (5 additions)
· Achievements
· 2 new Plant body items (Dark Mode and Twinkling Stardust)
· 3 new flowers to select
· You now notice bees flying around
· A tree has been added to the background

Visible changes (9 changes)
· The Colour game mode does not automatically make plant bodies disappear on the screen anymore, unless you touch it. Also: the speed gradually increases and gets a reset when you switch colours again
· Main game: the floating dandelion now swings back and forth.
· The font in the main menu and Restart screen is now bigger and more clear
· Main menu: a purple oval is added to clearify which option is selected
· The sound effect of going back in the menu screen is changed

Fixes (4 fixes)
· In the Colour game mode you could get under the grass. The camera now stops at the bottom when you move down
· In the Colour game mode small spawned flowers would never fade away. They do not appear anymore due to the changes made in Colour Mode.
· There was a situation where 2 items were spawned at the same time. Limited to max 1

Quite a relaxing experience. Nice music, simple visuals and very simple gameplay. I only have 3 complaints(they are at most simple annoyances about the game, and that is that: 1. There is no real in-game quit button(in fullscreen mode), 2. you can't open the little steam window to look at achievments while in-gameand 3. The water that refills your energy does spawn at the bottom od the screen when you've already passed that point a bit earlier, and an added thing that goes hand in hand with no. 3 is that the flower has to be pretty close to the top of the screen for it to move upwards. As I said earlier though those are quite minor complaints and the rest of the game makes up for it. Most certainly worth the money(1,49€, as you probably can see). Edit: The thing about not having the ability to exit the game, I know you can close the window if you have it in windowed mode but if you don't it doesn't exit windowed mode when you disable it in the settings.

Plants is a relaxing game in which you play as a plant slowly growing upwards towards the sky. The game has two modes, Regular and Colour. In Regular, you're given a health bar which must be refilled by collecting water that occasionally appears. Colour mode is almost identical, however there's no need for water as you have an unlimited amount of health. While it seems like an enjoyable game, due to the lack of content, after the first two or three minutes you've already seen everything the game has to offer. Another issue I have is that there's a broken achievement (Calm Night) That the developer has been aware of since 2020 but has still yet to fix it three years later, so it's highly likely this bare-bones game won't be updated and is in fact complete.

Chill, tiny, very short game. Would have upvoted if it hadn't tried to connect to the Internet repeatedly for no reason...

This isn't a game, it's an art exhibition that's been dumped on Steam, presumably because the local art galleries took out a restraining order on the "artists" who had no other choice but to pay Valve $100 to dump this on Steam. The idea of this "art experience" is to "relax" by growing a plant in what looks like a "snake" ripoff from Construct 2 (don't laugh, they used Construct 2 for this, even if this was a game it would disqualify it), except with all the gameplay removed. So you just guide a plant to grow and that's all. It's not even a well rendered or realistic looking plant... it's a MS-Paint reject. High school kids come up with better stuff. For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game. Tetris, for example, has a game loop where a random block appears, the gamer interacts with the block to position it, and then the game decides if that finishes a row or not, increase...

Plants is a relaxing game where you grow and collect water to stay alive, it is pretty relaxing but pretty boring, only reason to get is for the reason of relaxing. (which makes total sense.)
