The stark contrast between the fresh plant life and the derelict buildings and manufactured trash makes for some effective and pleasing visuals. There are no explicit narrative elements to Cloud Gardens but it is fun to speculate the reason for the post-apocalyptic environments which are depicted with low-poly models and charming pixel art in vibrant colours with atmospheric and changing lighting. This is a nice addition to the game and has helped foster an active online community sharing their creations. While challenge mode can get a tiny bit tricky on occasion it is very satisfying and ultimately, both modes are very relaxing.Д¬loud Gardens also has a photo mode that allows players to edit the lighting, take photos and even record videos of the plants growing over recently crafted dioramas. This second mode features sandbox-type gameplay with zero objectives. Playing in challenge mode unlocks new seeds and a large catalogue of items to be used in creative mode in which players can create and decorate their own dioramas.

The game has two modes, challenge and creative, the former involves puzzling through a series of scenes that requires a certain amount of the space to be covered by plants with the playerвЂ™s progress shown in the form of a percentage. Once the plants flower, these can be harvested and used to create further seeds and carry on planting.

Cars, signs, beer bottles and a plethora of other miscellaneous objects can be used to further decorate the scenes but will also encourage growth on plants within a set radius of where the item was placed. GameplayД¬loud Gardens sees players plant seeds in order to decorate various dioramas. This game is being reviewed as part of the Indie Game CollectiveВ (IGC) showcase.
