#STUPID ZOMBIES SNOW DAY 69 HOW TO#

Not many people would pay attention to a platformer with very little purpose to its gameplay, fuzzy hit detection and physics, and a world colored so flat and gray. After you've jumped and flown around for a bit, watched the birds, eaten a few fruits, and gotten caught in thorns, you'll feel ready to accomplish something.Īnalysis: Blueberry Garden is as glorious as it is unassuming. The game's gentle structure only becomes important once you've played around in the world long enough to want something to do. Even though there's an objective, you don't necessarily feel pressured to complete it. The goal of the game (other than to explore and have fun) is to plug the leaky faucet and stop the garden from filling with water. Just pure and blissful exploration of a game's mechanics, something very few releases in the last few years seem to get right.

No tutorials smacking you over the head explaining how to navigate a menu screen. Apart from teaching the basic controls via signposts, the game leaves you to your own devices to figure out what you can do. Want to know why? Because that's what makes Blueberry Garden so much fun.

Well, no, dear reader, we will not tell you the powers, nor will we tell you what's going on when you stand near those big objects and are teleported back to the beginning. When holding pieces of fruit in your hands, tap to eat them, granting you a new power for a brief time. Structured like a 2D platformer, your beaked character can, at first, walk, jump, pick up objects, teleport home, and fly for a short period of time. The moment you start playing, you'll feel like you're in a world without borders. Winner of the Seumas McNally Grand Prize in the 2009 Independent Games Festival, Erik Svedäng's Blueberry Garden is a rare gem of a game. Too bad someone left a giant faucet running and everything's flooding with water! From the moment you step foot in this garden, all you want to do is walk around and see what you can see. The game's world, though stark in appearance, is vibrant and alive, with a thriving ecosystem of plants and creatures that interact with each other and change over time. It's a game about exploring your environment and playing with objects just to see what they do. Blueberry Garden is a game about curiosity.
