Gardenscapes is a moderately new mobile game available for Android and IOS. I have been playing the mobile version for a few weeks now and it is a very addictive game. The game is a puzzle game where you have to clear the different levels by completing a number of tasks. You have to clear a number of different tasks to progress to the next level. The tasks can be as simple as removing a certain amount of weeds from the garden to as complex as watering a certain amount of plants.
Gameplay
The tasks are split into 2 sections, the free play tasks and the garden tasks. The free play tasks are the ones you can clear at any time. The garden tasks are the ones where you have to play the game to earn gold coins which you can then use to earn these tasks. You earn more gold coins if you complete the levels faster.
You earn gold coins by playing the game. You earn gold coins for each level you complete. When you complete the levels, you win the respective number of gold coins. You can use these gold coins to buy power-ups for the game.
Graphics
Gardenscapes graphics are simple and 2D, still, they are colorful and entertaining. The game gives a nice cozy feeling and helps to relax. The style is cartoonish, but it goes very well with a puzzle game. Overall, I like the graphics and style the designers chose.
Replayability
Gardenscapes replayability is average. It's a nice game and it is good to spend some time, but once you've completed all the quests, you probably won't want to start anew. Still, it has many levels and a good story, so the replayability definitely isn't bad.
Controls
The game doesn't demand many resources and doesn't lag. It runs smoothly even on low-end devices and anyone can play it. As for controlling the game itself, most of the interactions are done by tapping on specific objects in-game. It is very simple and very relaxing.
Conclusion
Gardenscapes is a great game. It is entertaining, easy to play and it is very relaxing. The story is nice and the characters are funny. It is a great game for people who enjoy puzzles.
