"Flower Shop: Big City Break" Review

One of the First Levels of "Flowershop"

Have you played "Cake Mania" or "Diner Dash?" "Flower Shop: Big City Break" is just like those games except it's with flowers and not food. If you didn't like those games, you won't like "Flower Shop."

Now if you haven't played either of those games or do like those games, I'll explain a bit about how "Flower Shop" works. You have a garden with small areas for individual flowers. Flowers come in a variety of types and colors. A customer will arrive at your stand with a balloon above their head showing what they wish to buy. You plant the seed, wait for the flower to grow, cut the flower, and use the wrapping machine once all the flowers are collected.

It's not a difficult process to grow and cut flowers. The complications come with later flowers that require more care (like water) to bloom and more customers waiting with orders. Customers won't wait forever and will pay extra when they have speedy service.

The real fun starts after you get past the beginning levels and have to deal with multiple customers and growing flowers that require special care. It's not a full blown business simulation. "Flower Shop" is for casual gamers who want to add another puzzle game to their collection.
