Flowerworks, the latest adventure/puzzle game for WiiWare is a visual masterpiece, and so challenging you'll never look at an azalea bush the same way again.
"If you knew in advance that you would be stranded on a desert island, what games would you take to keep yourself entertained while you awaited rescue? Throughout this week, some of us will be answering that very question. Instead of a set number of games, each team member has been given 5000 Wii Points to spend on any combination of titles from the Wii Shop Channel, as well as the chance to nominate one game they just couldn't quite fit into their budget. What games will we choose to help pass the days, weeks and months isolated from civilization? Read on to find out!" -- Wiiloveit.com
Wii's World writes: "Curious and addictive, Flowerworks by Australian Nocturnal Entertainment is a colorful WiiWare title that fits right into the crowd of similar curious, addictive and colorful games that already populate the WiiWare catalog. This point isn't brought up with negative attitude, it merely goes to show how WiiWare has become a safe haven for simple but "artsy" games that come up with unique mechanics."
GDN writes: "It's interesting to note that the most successful puzzle games are those that take a very bizarre premise and implement it in a simple, addictive way. Flowerworks is like that, putting you in control of a little green alien called Follie and requiring you to feed various plants by gliding around the screen to shoot pollen at them. Do well at this and you'll be rewarded with flower-style firework effects, hence the game's name."
