Gardening Mama blossoms on the iPhone
If you can’t stand the heat
Taito has released Gardening Mama, sequel to popular casual title Cooking Mama, on the App Store. The game takes the titular character out of the kitchen and into pastures new.
Taking a similar approach to the original game, Gardening Mama involves making sure your garden is growing nicely by engaging in a series of touch-based mini-games.
These include tasks like seeding, killing bugs with pesticides, and writing stern letters to the water company when they impose yet another hosepipe ban despite England being covered in rain for the majority of the year.
Those who've already played other versions of the game will be pleased to learn that there are a few extra plants in the iPhone edition. Those who haven’t should be aware that the game contains the mysterious durian plant and a wide range of dress-up options for yo’ mama.
Gardening Mama is out now, priced at £3.99/$6.99/€5.49.
