I remember playing a certain game as a child. This was probably at least 15 years ago, but I suspect the game must be older. I think it might have been on Windows 95 or maybe Windows Me. It was some kind of 2D game with top-down view where you had to solve puzzles to progress. There were some sort of spiky fruits to collect and use as weapons against some fireball-spitting plants.

Also, I vividly remember there being flowerbeds (with a grid of flowers) that needed to be crossed on a special pattern – like only walk on the same color, or only the same shape. I think there were also some levels with swamp or poison stuff and needing to close valves or something.

It might have been DOS, but I think it was Windows 95. Also, it was mouse-controlled.

I sadly don't have any data, and the computer is long gone.

It was a bit like modern point-and-click adventure games; IIRC you could control your character kind of freely (I think there was an underlying grid).

The only real distinct part that I remember well are these riddles needing you to navigate flowerbeds (it was a grid of flowers, and you should only walk on the correct ones, forming a path to the other side), and also that there were some kind of spiky fruits to collect as weapons, and also some firespitting(?) red flesh-eating plants that dropped some kind of bomb when defeated.

I think there were also keys to collect, and maybe stuff like levers to unlock new areas. I think later levels also had valves to control a poison swamp or something.

Can anyone tell me the name of it from this poor description? I already tried Google, searching lists of games from Wikipedia, etc...

    Real-time or turn-based? Multiple lives? Score? Soundtrack? What did the player character look like? Jul 7, 2022 at 13:48
  • I think it was real-time. I think it was more like an Adventure game where you could go between the areas ("levels") freely, so i don't remember any score.

    We've seen that if you can draw something just slightly resembling what the game look likes, it helps a lot. Jul 8, 2022 at 10:43
