Florescence: Merge Garden

This game is super cute, fun, and enjoyable. It has pretty graphics and it’s relaxing. Unfortunately, there are a lot of glitches when it comes to the game. It seems to lag a lot, there seems to be issues where it will randomly say there’s no Internet connection when the Internet connection is perfectly fine and stable, there’s a lot of issues where the game will just freeze randomly, and it won’t accept certain merges that are needing to happen or it won’t accept certain items and it just completely freezes the entire game. There’s no support whatsoever, so there’s just no way to contact anyone to get any actual help.

This game is cute, fun, and sometimes hard to put down! Unfortunately, there are some issues (including the fact that the "support" button in game doesn't work). First, in the episodes (the scenes of acting and painting), it will randomly decide that I haven't unlocked certain flowers. It makes it so I have to wait at least a week for the next episode. Second, it won’t let me claim prizes from the journal. For example, it will say I’m getting 50 energies, but they won’t actually add to my total (even if I’m at 0). Third, which is less of a glitch and more of a game flaw, the main part of the game “offline orders” feels like it progresses faster than leveling up flowers does. It feels like it jumps from asking for a, say, 2000 point flower to a 3000 point flower. It’s hard to upgrade flowers (and it’s hard not to focus all of your resources on just a few to meet those needs). It’s probably just the games form of a paywall, if you’re impatient like me, which is fair, but it can take a lot of time progressing on the board. I really like this game, and I’ve been playing for a couple months, so I hope the issues can be fixed (it doesn’t look like I’m the first to have these problems).

This is your standard merge game, with pretty graphics and a cute story line. I like that you get to decorate your shop and room, the characters are likable, and there is a good variety of game dynamics (merging items, leveling up seed packets, investing in pots and equipment to upgrade). A big perk is that there are three separate boards each with their own energy banks so you can keep playing. The main issue for me is that some of my boards are randomly missing flower generators that I have already unlocked and that are necessary to move forward. For example, I have the flamingo flower in my online and offline shops and I used to have it in Max’s painting but now it’s just…gone. Without it I can’t make any progress on his level and that’s super annoying. It makes a third of the game unplayable. And the button to contact support from within the game is non-functional.
