Florisium is an absolute masterclass in 'cozy' gaming. While many simulators feel like a chore-list of clicking and waiting, Florisium manages to make the actual process of growth feel magical. The visual fidelity of the petals and the way the light filters through the greenhouse glass creates an atmosphere that is genuinely therapeutic. It’s the kind of game you open just to listen to the rain hit the glass while your orchids slowly unfurl.
The crossbreeding system is surprisingly deep. It’s not just random RNG; there’s a biological logic to how colors and traits pass down, which encourages you to keep a 'gardener's journal' of your experiments. Seeing a rare bioluminescent hybrid bloom for the first time after days of careful pollination is a high that few combat-heavy games can match. If you need a digital sanctuary to escape the noise of the world, this is the most beautiful one available on the App Store.

It's incredibly rare that I ever leave any kind of review on a game. You've earned a real trophy review here! I've wanted a sandbox gardening game like this for eons. I have had so much fun playing over the past few days, creating my own little strains of flowers and experimenting with mutagens. The idea that all of my plants are completely unique to me is brilliant, breaking the monotony of real world flower genetics and shapes. I mean, if you really care about them looking like real flowers, you can do it yourself! I myself am creating a sunflower strain. There are no ads. I would love if it stayed this way. The game is simple, you obtain 3 unique flowers with highly varied leaves and flowers at the start. You can do a lot with them and some mutagens, but if you want, you have to buy a package with a new room and plant slots to get another random flower. They are fairly priced. The plants grow at a nice pace, not too slow but not so fast that you'll miss it when your flower blooms. I have a whole armada of suggestions for this game, but I think I'll let the developer work on it a little more before I come back and start spitballing. I am heavily considering buying the contribution package, but I think I only would if I get extra growing spaces for it! I'm just not 100% sure whats in it for me aside from the infinite mutagen access. Thank you for your time!
I downloaded this game randomly and it’s one of my absolute favorites. I love how peaceful it is, that I’ve never watched any ads, that it isn’t another game with a gems system and blah blah blah. The focus really is on the flowers which are gorgeous. The pollination system makes sense, and my favorite thing about the game is the journal. It has a great chart that it makes automatically that’s easy to read and manipulate and it has plenty of places for me to take notes on the flowers myself. It’s not punishing like some games either if you don’t sign in every two seconds in a day. I don’t usually spend money on free games but since there’s no ads and I like the game, I might spend the $6 for a new room once I fill my current one. <3 If I were to pick one thing to change, I wish I had some other things I could poke around with. I like how the watering barrel is easy and I don’t have a giant list of must do every day, but it would be fun if there were some built in mini games. Not for rewards necessarily, just as a little extra thing to interact with in the rooms. I love the game so much, I really just want more reasons to hang out on it!
Okay so I personally dont like technology, ive played the same game for almost a year now because nothing has ever just caught my attention. This game did exactly that,I do have ADHD so its hard to explain i have to find the right game or i wont play it. This isnt a just a game this brings me peace. Take me somewhere only im allowed to be. I dont know anything about flowers and/or how they grow which makes this game even better its extremely simple and the flowers are YOURS. You name them, you describe what they do and/or for. The only thing id ask for is to add to the journal a section of what each mutagen actually does. Or at least be able to tap it and find a description. I have a hard time finding answers online. Its magical to find out what they do but for me its productivity i like to know what things do to use appropriately so i can grow exactly what i want. Other than that small personal detail i genuinely enjoy every second of it.
Very calming, I enjoy the ability to play with the plant genetics but I’d like to see the mutagens labeled with words since it’s really hard to figure out what the mutations do since you have to guess the effect by the symbol associated with each mutagen. I’d also love to see the plant species labeled in the journal-maybe set up so the name is only revealed after it’s been grown to flower but it has to happen. I’d also like to see a flower shop added so I can get rid of plants I don’t want, keep the ones I do want, and buy a plant to replace the one I got rid of without having to ‘recycle all plants and get new ones’, essentially having to restart the game if I want a different plant. This could be achieved by implementing a system where (for example) growing a plant to flower gets you a certain number of pollen points that can be used to buy a new plant from the flower shop/seed store. If this is already a thing and I just haven’t encountered it yet, then it needs to be available earlier in the game.
Props to the developers for creating a game that is free to play, ad free, and genuinely fun. It’s clear a lot of time and effort went into creating it, and it has the potential to continue blossoming. I have been playing for about a week and I am already obsessed. I love that each plant I grow is unique and that the gameplay encourages experimentation. The bee avatar is sassy but still very helpful, which adds a lot of charm. A couple of notes from playing. It took me a few days to place bee hives because I could not find an item that clearly looked like a hive. The recent update helped with the new skin, but perhaps in future updates additional skins that resemble more traditional beekeeping hives or clearer item labels might make this easier. I am also a bit confused about adjusting the water nozzles. When I pull the lever down, the animation shows water spraying faster, but at one point the honey bee tip said that lifting the lever up increases water frequency. Some clarification there would be helpful.
I found this game just scrolling thru the Game Center bc I was looking for some sort of gardening game, didn’t know what was available. I am SO glad I downloaded this one. It’s beautiful, the bee who “helps” you around the game gives you some hints and some guidance but leaves a lot of mystery to what happens and what you can do. I LOVE his attitude! The design is AMAZING. It’s sooo well thought out. so many little details were added in, you wouldnt think were added in but it’s so similar to planting IRL it blows my mind!! I’ve only been playing a week but I check the game 50 times a day. I’ve already had one accident with my plants. 😞 I love that you get to create your own plants. You have to choose who to pollinate and you can add in mutations to go crazy with a new plant design. You do have to wait a couple days for the plant to grow, it’s not instant and there are no skips. (I love that) the game is not driven by adds and having to pay to play. It’s similar to IRL as far as waiting for the plants to grow, so check often and don’t forget to check the water tank!! 😞🤪 There is a discord channel where you can chat with others AND the game developer who is active!! There is so much more that you can do in this game, I can’t wait to see what else the dev pushes out for us in the next update!! I’m so excited to see where this game goes. It’s already my most favorite app!!
First: I don’t remember the last time I rated something on the App Store. As a matter of fact I’m not sure I’ve ever even written a positive review for an app/game… ever 😅 But this one deserves special attention. Second: the graphics in this game are stunning. The visuals in general are stunning. The ability to take pictures, set and customize camera angles, change depth-of-field, create unique saveable filters & photo presets, it’s so well thought out 🤌🏽 Third: plant genetics 🧬 it’s not quite Mendelian, but it comes quite close. Main difference is there aren’t any limits here like there are in nature; so cross-pollinating plants & adding various mutagens can be wild. And yet, even the most psychedelic looking plants in my collection still retain characteristics that are so realistic. A few more notes: there is no plot. There’s is no clear destination. No levels, no in-game currencies, no powerups, etc. So if that’s what you’re looking for, keep browsing. But if you’re looking for beautiful visuals, soft music, and a way to wind down and feel grounded after a long day, this is it. There is an active DC community, and from what I’ve seen so far everyone is so kind and supportive. The game’s architect is there too. They’re so down-to-earth and so genuine. It’s exciting to have that kind of connection and have the chance to share feedback directly! Anyways, I’m here for the long haul, and I can’t wait to see how Florisium takes shape. Thanks Byway for creating something so peaceful and so beautiful 🥺
I’ve really enjoyed this game so far (I’ve had it for about two weeks now). And I have to say, wow. 1. I really enjoy the calm music and atmosphere that this game has. 2. No ads. I love that it has no ads, no skip grow time by watching an ad, or anything of sort. It’s a nice change from most other games 3. I love the creative aspect of breeding plants, making new ones and the mutagens. As well as the designing aspect! I love love love LOVE the free range building. Although there is a storage limit per room, I haven’t run into any problems with this. 4. I genuinely enjoy how nothing in the shop has to do with time skips for grow time. I like the waiting, the patience. It allows me to enjoy the game. 5. I LOVE Honny. The dialogue isn’t boring, isn’t long, it’s just right. I love the character and the productive text he/she gives. 6. Free to play (there are OPTIONAL in-game purchases) But… one thing that kinda confuses me is the lines in the lineage page of our journal. I know it has a key in the top right corner but some of the lines are confusing—I understand the arrows to an offspring plant from the parents when they’re pollinated, beyond that I’m lost. Feedback: add a key with an explantation or a piece of dialogue from Honny (that can be replayed) explaining. I will most likely edit my review later if I have anything to add/constructive criticism. Overall, great game :)
