The Gardens Between

Description

Best friends Arina and Frendt fall into a series of vibrant, dreamlike island gardens peppered with everyday objects from their childhood. Together they embark on an emotional journey that examines the significance of their friendship: the memories they’ve built, what must be let go, and what should never be left behind.

Lost in a mysterious realm where cause and effect are malleable, the friends find that time flows in all directions. Manipulate time to solve puzzles and reach the apex of each isle. Follow the duo as they unpack and explore their significant moments spent together, lighting up constellations and illuminating threads of a bittersweet narrative.

Controller Support?

I have been unable to play this game, because the second I plug in a controller to my iPhone 13 Pro Max the game immediately crashes.

Engaging - but battery consuming!

Really enjoyed the uniqueness of this game. Very clever, challenges stepping up in difficulty as you go. The issue I had was with my iPhone 11 Pro Max overheating and the battery depleting in record time. I don’t think it’s an issue with the phone as this is the only app that’s had this effect. However, if you are plugged in and your device is on a cushion (or you don’t have this problem at all) then this is a very engaging game. Sorry I have to ask for a refund.

Great graphics but no gameplay

Yeah it looks pretty and sounds nice but all you do is swipe your finger to the right to move them right or left for left and click on one of three different things in the scenery to solve a simplistic puzzle. Cute and looks good (I do like some of the scrambling animation) but there are lots of “depth-full” games worth your time and money

?

The game is slow and is boring. I’ve tried to understand how it got such high reviews and forced myself to continue playing, but it was a complete waste of money and nothing much happens.

Simply wonderful

It’s gorgeous, it’s sentimental, it’s unique. The puzzles offer some challenge without getting frustrating - and the rational adult mind only holds you back. I wouldn’t change a thing.

Innovative and heart breaking

The final level in the game blew my head off with the lightning and stuff. The ending is the most heartbreaking moment I’ve ever seen in a game.

Absolutely Amazing game, I didn’t realise it was ported from PC Gaming. A true masterpiece. Works brilliantly on my iPad. Ten out of Ten Guys for design and gameplay. Regards MacJ

Absolutely Amazing!!

The gardens between is absolutely amazing. Beautifully illustrated and wonderfully thought out. Worth every penny. I would definitely recommend it. Very clever as it catches you on a hook and you want to keep going, get to the end see where the story leads you. Massive thumbs up!

MONEY WELL SPENT!

Loved everything about this game! So creative

Don't buy!!!!!

Biggest waste of money has no meaning and it lags so much
