A few examples: Ivy grows up larger structures, so you place it at the root of arches or buildings. The seeds have different requirements where they can be planted. Caravans make the plants grow big Seeds and Plants There are also large objects to place such as cars and caravans, and once placed these help the plants grow even more. Small objects, like beer bottles, when placed help the plant grow a little. When you are placing an object you can see the area it is going to help grow and an outline of the object you place appears. All the junk you place coaxes the plants to grow and stretch out over the diorama.

Only you’re the gardener planting the seeds and directing the plants to reclaim their desolate tiny world. It’s a little post-apocalyptic garden that you are creating. Once you have reached the required score for that level you move on to the next level. You, in turn, collect the seeds which allow you to grow more plants. Placing objects, which are mostly rubbish and junk around the seeds makes them grow into a plant that produces flowers/fruits and seeds that can be harvested. The seed grows into a plant that spreads over scenes of urban decay on little dioramas.

Gardens in the cloudsĬloud Garden tasks you with planting seeds in the right places. Well, I’m here to tell you that it does fit together and works surprisingly well resulting in a relaxing, chilled out experience. The blurb on Cloud Gardens Steam page says, “ Cloud Gardens is partly a gardening simulator, partly a dystopian landscape builder, and partly a puzzle game”, I agree, it’s an odd mix that you would think wouldn’t fit together.

Here we are nearly a year later and I have had the opportunity to try out the full game of Cloud Gardens. Last year Yvonne had the opportunity to try out the Cloud Garden for an Impression article when the game was released on Steam on Early Access.
