Line 1: {{work}} [[File:flower1_5079.jpg\|frame]] ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20150905080716/http://thatgamecompany.com/games/flower/ Flower]'' is an independent game by [http://thatgamecompany.com/ thatgamecompany], creators of such works as ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20090221130746/http://thatgamecompany.com/games/flow/ fl0w]'' and ''[[Journey (~~Video~~2012 ~~Game~~video game)\|Journey]]'', and described as their 'video game version of a poem'. The game takes place within the dreams of a lonely flower upon the windowsill of a rather dreary, city apartment. With the 'completion' of each dream, more flowers appear upon the windowsill, and the apartment grows ever less run-down while the view out of the window grows ever more picturesque. Actual game-play consists, for the most part, of guiding a single, wind-borne petal of the presently dreaming flower, awakening other flowers and adding a petal from each to your own, until you find yourself guiding a great, winding current of blossoms and petals (along with the occasional leaf) through the game's vast and varied landscapes while the ambient music [[Variable Mix\|shifts and changes]] according to locations, movements, and events. As the game's wordless story progresses, it takes on an increasingly subdued and eventually sinister tone, until the player finds themselves witness to a triumphant charge to bring back life to a once beautiful landscape and city. {{tropelist}} * [[~~Hundred Percent~~100% Completion]]: Secret flowers.▼ * {{spoiler\|[[After the End]]}} -: Perhaps implicit, given the state of all things artificial. * [[Beautiful Void]] -: There's no one but the wind, flowers and landscapes. The only animal seen is during an ending. * [[Blow You Away]] -: You have the power to control the wind. Combined with [[Petal Power]]. * [[Cherry Blossoms]] -: Dream 6. * {{spoiler\|[[The Corruption]]}} -: Girders. * [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]] -: A minor example in Dreams 5 and 6. {{spoiler\|Normally, at the end of Dream 5, your petal will fall to the ground before it can reach the goal, and a new one will take its place at the beginning of Dream 6. However, if you finish Dream 5 without getting zapped, the level will just end abruptly without your petal dying, and you'll begin Dream 6 controlling the same petal (albeit without all the petals you collected in Dream 5 trailing it) until you reach the nearby goal.}}. * [[Everything's Better ~~With~~with Rainbows]] -: End of Dream 2. * {{spoiler\|[[Evil Tower of Ominousness]]}} -: Seen in Dream 6. Fortunately, it will be {{spoiler\|Transformed into a giant flowering tree at the end.}}. * [[Foreshadowing]] -: At the end of Dream 3 and 4, you'll get to see what you'll be facing in the next dream in the distance. * [[Genre Busting]] * [[Ghibli Plains]]: You as the player are flying flower petals through Ghibli Plains.

Starts as Gray Drizzle of Depression. * [[Invisible Wall]] -: A strong gust of wind will turn you around if you try to go past the level boundaries. * [[It's All Upstairs From Here]] -: {{spoiler\|The final spire in Dream 6}}. * [[Level Goal]] - Clearly marked in the first 5 levels. {{spoiler\|You won't reach the fifth one in the fifth level, so the 6th flower has to finish where 5th one left off.}} * [[~~Ludd~~Level ~~Was Right~~Goal]]: Clearly marked in the first 5 levels. {{spoiler\|~~Actually~~You ~~averted,~~won't ~~despite~~reach the ~~evil~~fifth ~~electric~~one ~~Girders.~~in ~~The~~the ~~last~~fifth ~~stage~~level, so the sixth flower has ~~you~~to ~~repairing~~finish awhere ~~very~~fifth ~~non-evil~~one ~~city.~~left off}}. * [[Ludd Was Right]]: {{spoiler\|Actually averted despite the evil electric Girders. The last stage has you repairing a very non-evil city}}. * [[Mood Whiplash]] -: At the end of the Dream 4. {{spoiler\|It suddenly gets dark when one of the lights fails.}}. ** A smaller one appears in Dream 3. You're rushing through canyons at high speed and suddenly a lively melody will be replaced with a much calmer one, and the sky rolls on into sunset. * [[No Flow in CGI]] -: Averted, big time. * [[Petal Power]] -: Combined with [[Blow You Away\|wind]], these are the only things you use.▼ ▲* [[Hundred Percent Completion]]: Secret flowers. * [[Power Glows]] -: Dreams 4 and 6.▼ ▲* [[Petal Power]] - Combined with [[Blow You Away\|wind]], these are the only things you use. * [[Recurring Riff]] -: A certain 4-note motif can be heard in all of the dreams.▼ ▲* [[Power Glows]] - Dreams 4 and 6 * {{spoiler\|[[Scenery Gorn]]}} -: The end of {{spoiler\|Dream 4}}, the entirety of {{spoiler\|Dream 5}}, and initially {{spoiler\|Dream 6}}.▼ ▲* [[Recurring Riff]] - A certain 4-note motif can be heard in all of the dreams. * [[Scenery Porn]] -: Near everywhere, especially the meadows.▼ ▲* {{spoiler\|[[Scenery Gorn]]}} - The end of {{spoiler\|Dream 4}}, the entirety of {{spoiler\|Dream 5}}, and initially {{spoiler\|Dream 6}} * [[Shout -Out]] -: A hidden area in Dream 3 contains audio and visual references to ''fl0w''.▼ ▲* [[Scenery Porn]] - Near everywhere, especially the meadows. * [[Spiritual Successor]] -: To an earlier game of [http://thatgamecompany.com/ thatgamecompany]'s, ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20110316044906/http://thatgamecompany.com/games/cloud/ Cloud]''.▼ ▲* [[Shout Out]] - A hidden area in Dream 3 contains audio and visual references to ''fl0w''. ▲* {{spoiler\|[[~~Gray~~A ~~Rain~~Storm ofIs ~~Depression~~Coming]]}}: End of -the Dream 54. ▲* [[Spiritual Successor]] - To an earlier game of [http://thatgamecompany.com/ thatgamecompany]'s, ''[http://thatgamecompany.com/games/cloud/ Cloud]''. * [[Variable Mix]] -: The game's music reacts in various, usually subtle ways to events and actions on the part of the player.▼ * {{spoiler\|[[A Storm Is Coming]]}} - End of the Dream 4. * [[Wham!
