We didn't get a chance to play the new level that was shown, but for our hands-on impression you can see Guy's preview here.
For those who have played their last game, flOw, it's similar in a sense that it's very serene, obscure and distinct. In Flower, each level varies in terms of ambiance, mood and color, making it feel like a unique experience each time. Even though this is a very difference experience when compared to a racing game, the comparison was brought up because there are times where your flower petals pick up enough speed without floating away. It's not adrenaline pumping but it can be uplifting. There was a level shown with windmills and the goal was the activate them all to get the wind flowing into a narrow valley. As the flower petals were funneled in and the speed and music picked up, the demo ended, leaving us guessing what kind of surprises and twists this game will have."

WTMG's Leo Faria: "Flower is a gorgeous, well-crafted and relaxing game, but I have to say, I don’t get the massive love towards it. Its “story”, if you can call it that, is far from deep and thought-provoking as some say it is, its duration is borderline insulting for its asking price, and it just doesn’t motivate you to replay it after you’re done with its half a dozen levels. Sadly, Flower isn’t as meaty as it should be. A fair point in a way, given it’s a game about plants…"
