Did you know? One of the 2x2 flowers in our game #Floramino is modeled after hydrangeas! The color of real life hydrangeas changes based on the pH level of the soil. High pH level soil turns them pink, while low pH soil turns them blue! 🪻 #indiegames #cozygames #gamedev

it's another #FlowerFriday for our indie puzzle gardening game Floramino, & today we're talking Rhododendron! 🍃 #indiegames #cozygames the 1x2 Rhododendron is wonderful in its simplicity – only two orientations for this festive flower! perfect for parts of the map that stick out with weird shapes 😌

should #FlowerFriday be a thing? 🌼 heh. well, introducing the workhorse of Floramino: the Daisy! Daisies are one of the fastest growing flowers in Floramino & the perfect size to fit into those awkward corners. they won't grow your reputation as a gardener fast, but they sure are handy! #cozygames
