A walk in the Blueberry Garden

Posted under Indie, PC, Shareware

Not much time for blogging tonight so I’ll have to be fairly brief. :-?

Today I wanted to highlight the recent release of Erik Svedäng’s Blueberry Garden [link] on Steam. You can buy this year’s IGF Grand Prize winner for a piddly $5! Indie games really don’t come much cheaper than this, though admittedly you probably aren’t going to be getting days of gameplay for your dosh. But I’d say there’s enough to fill a couple of hours if you’re really casual and/or thorough.

Blueberry Garden - a whimsical landscapeBlueberry Garden - what's that over there?

The style is wonderfully whimsical and inviting. Everything has been done to create a calm, relaxing atmosphere – from the soothing piano music to the hand-drawn look of the graphics, Blueberry Garden is a perfect game to unwind with. It’s open-endedness caters to fans of Seiklus or Knytt perfectly, so if you’ve enjoyed either of those then you should feel completely at home flying in this world of berries and giant cheese!
