Green Fingers is a fantastic puzzle game from No Monkeys.

Green Fingers is a devilishly simple game: you have five pots with dirt in them, and things fall from the sky and you must re-arrange them to fall in the correct pots. Sounds simple enough right?

It really is simple!

Well… it is! Let me explain it more thoroughly. To start a pot, you must put soil inside. Then you place it in front of the seed bag that you wish to seed it with. Once the pot is seeded, you are then given a sequence of ingredients needed to make it into a full flower: sunshine, water, pollination (Bees!), and whatever additional ingredients come later on.

I was more in awe by how simple the concept was but how well executed it was. Think about it: you’re growing flowers, possibly one of the more mundane tasks ever known to man, and yet with a simple twist of things dropping from the sky, suddenly you have a really addictive game on your hands. Don’t let the screenshots fool you, I can easily get past the level three failure I had, and you should, because the great variety of flowers and ingredients is something you really have to witness. Well, that and the intensity of having to move pots accurately and in a timely manner really keeps you going.

The art style of Green Fingers is another thing to witness – it’s a very polished game! The sprites are all well drawn, cute, and easy to differentiate from one another. I love the art style in Green Fingers, very cheery and friendly and warm, something that makes you actually want to grow these flowers – instead of stomping them into a pulp after you ruin a good run.

I really could say more about this game, but I don’t think I really need to – it’s a well polished game from a company that has a history of creative games (Well… Alphabetic, but that game is insane.) and I really look forward to seeing what they have in store for us in 2010. The bottom line: Green Fingers is an insanely fun game for $0.99, and I’ve been playing at least once or twice a week during my down time. Not only is there integration with OpenFeint (I can’t even crack the top 10) but there are detailed statistics of your playing, in addition to some very challenging Achievements. Seriously, five five-in-a-row combos in a game, they seem to want to drive me to madness.

Read 'em and weep, suckers!

Go get this game, it’s terrifyingly addictive. (There’s even a lite version! Check it out!)
