Gardens Inc. 4: Blooming Stars is the fourth installment of a native casual time management game series. Released on the PC platform, the production is the result of cooperation between the creators of the series, Nitreal Games studio, and The House of Fables team, known from HOPA Eventide: Slavic Fable, set in the Slavic climates of the game.
### Story
In Gardens Inc. 4 We follow the fate of Jill and Mike, known from the previous parts of the series of heroes, who are specialists in garden design. After a wonderful wedding, the couple are just expecting a child, which, as we know, involves some changes in their lives, as well as the need to incur considerable financial outlays. Just in time, however, there is a lucrative proposal made by a TV station, planning a gardening reality show with our protagonists in the leading roles. However, it soon turns out that the career of a TV star is not as pleasant as it might seem and is connected with tedious work, frequent travels and even dangers.
### Mechanics
In terms of mechanics, the fourth installment of the Gardens Inc. series basically does not differ from the solutions known from the previous parts of the cycle. So we are dealing with a typical production of the genre of time management, in which at each stage of the game we have to carry out a number of strictly defined tasks, and to do so in the shortest possible time. When visiting other gardens, our first task is usually to clean them from piles of wood and stones lying in different places. In this way, we acquire the first raw materials necessary for further tasks, such as planting flowers or renovating garden buildings, which provide access to other elements, such as tools or fertiliser. The key to success in the game is, traditionally, the ability to plan individual activities in such a way that they are carried out as quickly and efficiently as possible. Our efforts are rewarded with medals and nothing stands in the way of repeating selected stages in order to improve the result. It is worth doing this, because the bonuses obtained in this way allow us to furnish and decorate the room for the expected child in a special, intermittent mini-game.
### Technical issues
Released on the PC platform, Gardens Inc. 4: Blooming Stars features a colourful and eye-catching cartoon graphic design that does not differ significantly from the standards of the series and the entire genre.
