John-ShepardIf you hadn't noticed, we're pretty big fans of Flower 'round these parts. We really appreciate the artistic and original features of such games, and we only wish it would last a little longer.
You can easily complete the game in 2-3 hours, depending on how leisurely you approach the unique wind-blown adventure. However, if you really want the full Flower experience, you're going to want to nab all the Trophies, which will take both time and skill. If you rush through the game, you may never stumble across one, but if you take your time, you're bound to find a few. To get them all, you're going to need some help (a few are pretty obscure). In this case, head on over to ExiledGamers and check out the full Trophy list. There are a few relatively normal ones: Dream (Collect all the secret flowers in each level), Illumination (Light a darkened pool), Stars (In the credits level, get all the flowers to bloom to release all the names), etc. But then there are a few nifty ones, like Memories (leave the screensaver on for three minutes) and several Secret Trophies, such as Welcome Back (play the game after taking a week-long break) and Healthy Play (take a 10-minute break between dreams). You can also see how to obtain all the secret flowers in each level, so if you're having some trouble, print it out for assistance.
This is a great way to extend Flower 's longevity, and that's most certainly a good thing. We just can't wait to see what thatgamecompany does next; whatever it is, we're almost positive it'll be something we've never seen before.
