Lunar Flowers 4+

I feel like the story and the ending were quite unfulfilling. I understand that there is no text or voice in this game and the story is told through visuals only, which I find amazing. However, I don’t think this idea was executed properly as i was extremely confused at the end.
I also feel like the challenges could be more difficult, for the most part, you were given all of the answers as they would just pop out of nowhere, or light up, Maybe if they were a little more hidden, it would make the game more fun and interesting, as we would then need to try and find the hints instead of them just being handed to us.
Finally, I wish the game was longer, this game took me around 30minutes to an hour to complete, and I found myself on the final level thinking “this can’t be the end of the game, can it?”
I feel like there should have been a little more story and gameplay, as, aside from the points I previously mentioned, this game was quite enjoyable and relaxing.

Overall, I loved the experience that this game provided me and it the graphics and soundtrack only made it better, but I feel like this game has so much untouched potential, and I hope that we get an update or sequel that truly shows what this game is capable of.

Who was she? She was standing there, looking onwards, there was a flower floating above her and I felt the need to tap it.
She began walking, whoever she was, I helped her move forward by clicking the flower - or perhaps she was following the flower and I had just moved it by accident.

Several flowers and many steps later, the bridge collapses, she’s fallen to the ground. I want to help her, where is she? Who she is no longer matters, I want to help her reach the end of the bridge, the building which floats in the distance.
The moon crumbles, the purple flowers have destroyed the only things I know in this world: they must be my enemy.

Then the first chapter ends and I’m brought back to the selection screen.
And I want to keep playing.

I finished the game within about 20 minutes but it was a beautiful, peaceful and breathtaking 20 minutes that you only get from the best of games. This isn’t a game, though, it’s an interactive story. She’s the protagonist, the moon is your goal, the dark flowers seem to be the antagonist. There’s a dragon, too, but I don’t think they play a huge role.
Oh and the flowers are very important.

I don’t think I can express how wonderful my experience was, or how many questions it left me with, but it was something I wish for everyone else to enjoy.
Please, if you have the space, download this. Even if you only play it once. It’s magical, and will certainly brighten your day.

I was struggling to rate this and I finally decided on 4 stars. I can see how people can get frustrated by the lack of instructions. However I believe the point of the game is to figure out what the puzzle is rather than solve the actual puzzle. It was a risky choice to exclude instructions but I think the puzzles were logical with enough clues to nudge you in the right direction. I gave 5 stars for the music, art style and immersion. If you stripped that all away you would be left with an unchallenging 1-star puzzle you wouldn’t think twice to play. They basically stylized a simple puzzle to cater to adults. I would have given 5 stars if it was longer, faster paced and more challenging. I would say 50% of the time I was walking to the next puzzle and 50% solving it. There’s only about 20mins of actual gameplay.
