Green Fingers reminds me of Tetris, and I don’t mean that in a good way. The premise is simple: you have to catch certain plant-related items (plant food, water, sunlight, etc.) in a flowerpot in order for a flower to grow.
As levels progress, the items fall faster and you have to swipe your finger to move the pots around and catch the proper items. If you miss the item even once, the game is over. I would have perferred three lives.
The graphics are nice and the game can be addictive, but there is nothing of it that really thrills me. The target market of this game is probably children, since it would be very boring, very quickly for adults. I’ve seen this sort of game done several times already for the iPhone and usually it’s offered for free.
If the creators wanted to make the game more interesting, have the plants grow into ones that are strange or unusual, possibly alien. Have them be multicolored flowers that do not exist in nature. I think that would grab the imagination more.
The creators could also make things more interesting by having known locations in the background of the windowsill that the plants sit upon. Why not water the plants with the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty in the background?
In short, it is a cute but not thrilling game. If you have kids with iPod Touches and a buck to spare, you can rest assured that this harmless game would not take up too much space.
