Hey I don't know if the problem is just me being dumb, but.. well I cannot for the life of mine open the game :( I've tried redownloading and unzipping it multiple times.. Also, I cannot find the .exe file, all I can find is this:
Hi! The .exe file is "FlowerShop". (Flowershop-32 is the version for 32-bit Windows.)
For future reference, when you see a file with type "Application" that often means it's an .exe. You can double-check by right-clicking and checking the properties of the file.
Hi there! I am creating a collection of fully blind accessible games, and your game is listed under the "blind support tag". The word "blind" means different things to different people, and within that wide spectrum their are various levels of expertise with visual UI's. but as a fully blind gamer, I am wondering what features this game provides for those who can not see the screen at all. Do you have "screen reader" or "text to speech" support? Is your game fully playable with a keyboard or controller, rather than having to point the mouse at buttons on the interface? If the answer to those questions is no, it would still be great to know what options are provided for those with less severe visual impairments, so that I might make them aware of your game's usability for them. Thank you for any information you can provide, it's very much appreciated! :)
thanks for reaching out! here are the features in this game that are meant to provide accessibility to blind gamers:
text-to-speech is toggled with the "v" key.
point-and-click sections which require the mouse can be replaced if the option for "text-based navigation" is chosen.
important visuals are described in text if the option for "image captions" is chosen.
these options are provided on the first launch of the game and can also be toggled in the menu.
if the text-based navigation is on, the game should be fully playable with keyboard or controller. i have done some testing of this myself, but as i am not blind, i may have missed something.
Sorry for the late response, that's pretty impressive! Allot of games don't achieve that level of accessibility, so you're doing something right. :) As long as their are no visual only puzzles and all vital indicators have text alternatives, that means your game should be fully playable! Good work, and thanks for being a good example to other devs!
I'm blind it took me 2 years to learn how to use my devices independently. I love gaming but often there's not any or many accessible games I can find and play. I found this game underneath the blind accessibility filter on itch.io was just wondering since it doesn't say anywhere if there's accessibility options on the game after you download it? 100% OK if there's not but I just wanted to ask before downloading. Even if it's not accessible I'll look for a let's play of it on YouTube so I can experience it that way as well.
THIS GAME IS SO SWEET AAAAAAAAAAAAA. I really love all of the writing in it, from front to back. Every character's own little flower adventure is supremely great, and it's wonderful that each of them have such varied intents, between just wanting to make somebody they care about happy to being the gayest of the gays. EXTREMELY love the art style, for sure, though!!! It fits perfectly into the whole game's vibes; it's really splendid......... And the true ending was genuinely so sweet I was just like.......... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I love it so much. It's a perfect ending note. AND THE ART BOOK IS SO GOOD......... All of the characters really do have such a distinct and lovely personality, and having a lot of that extrapolated in the art book is really fun!!! Personal favorite is Little Mouse for myself, but........... Mister Hare is extremely fun, pff. And all of the characters are fun!!!!! I love 'em all!!!!!!!!
Thank you for making this!!! It's splendid AS HECK!!!!!!
I love the characters and it made me have warm feelings for them, especially the interactions of serious bear and the helpful Mr. Rabbit. TuT I love that it's so wholesome. I like the atmosphere and the whole layout plus giving choices to players about which flower is best is a nice touch. Simple but done very well.
Aaaah this game was so cute and heart-warming!! I loved the variety of characters and relationships as well. Even thought it was brief, I thought the writing showed each character and their concerns + relationships with others well. I especially love the final bit with Mr. Bear! I liked that both of them had a genuine struggle/concern, and how they communicated about it.
It was a really lovely game, thank you for making it!!
OKAY I JUST FINISHED IT AND D'AWWW???? IT WAS /ADORABLE/ OMGGGG. Mr. Hare was my favorite, the way he gets closer to the viewer, I was laughing so hard hahahaha.
All the little animations and sfxs were such a nice touch and gave the game such a lively feel!!!

Hit "v" and it should turn on self-voicing!
Thank you so much! I'm glad that there's some accessibility option for the game.

This game was so cute, I was going through some pretty rough stuff when I was playing this and this game made me feel so much better, so thanks!
What a sweet & simple game. 4 stars.
Played this just now, and it was a delight. Got both endings after missing the true one first time. Thanks for making it.
Such a lovely little game and story. I got the "Normal" ending, so will have to play again to try and get the other one. Thanks
Hello! Do you have interest in a Brazilian Portuguese translation?
If yes, contact me back so we can discuss about it.
i would love to work on your game.
Hi Vignett, I'm too busy working on other games right now to start working on a new translation but thank you for the offer!
Hey, If you want a french translation, feel free to contact me ;)
This game was sooooo cute :D
Hi Aurore, thanks for the offer! Should I contact you on twitter? I think your DMs are set to followers only so you would have to follow me first ^^
I'll follow you :)
Thanks! But you'd actually have to follow me on twitter (@little_rattus), as itch.io doesn't have private messaging.
Oh sorry I misunderstood !
Noy BaD At All
Heyo!
Looking forward to translate this game into Latin America's Spanish, if you are interested, please, let me know!
Thanks for the offer, that's very generous! I'd want to make some small changes to the game first, but I'd be happy to contact you afterwards.
Well, feel free to PM me via Discord (Dunkelheyt#9648) or Twitter: @Dunkelheyt
I'm ready whenever you are!
I like this game, keep up the good work.
A Wholesome and Adorable Visual Novel....
Also, 'Gay Flowers'. Ahahahaha.
Thank you so much for the LP (and for linking me in the video description!)
No horror here, only flowers ;)
Yep! Have played it through, just guessing since it's Spooktober! Nice game btw!

I've never considered calling Mr. Bear "serious bear" but it works very well, haha! I'll keep that in mind.
Thank you for playing!
