Ween, the band, apparently could see the future. Sure they actually sang push the little daisies and make them come up, a reference to death I’m sure, but close enough.

Crazy Daisy from Handmark is a puzzle game that requires you to literally spin daisies so that their colored petals match up. It’s a new twist on the match three genre. When you start your screen will be filled with seven daisies each of which spins in a particular direction when you touch them giving you the opportunity to line up the like colors for points. As you proceed more and more colors are introduced making it more and more difficult to arrange them for points.

The graphics are decent in Crazy Daisy. considering all you’ve really got is a background and some daisies to spin it shouldn’t have been hard to make it look good. It’s not all that exciting in looks, sound or gameplay but it’s certainly a quick way to kill some time while waiting for the dentist. And far less painful to boot!
 
This is one of those games that is hard to talk about. The gameplay is simple to learn and really not all that engrossing. I’m not saying it’s a bad game it just lacks that something that makes me want to play it again and again. perhaps it’s because you play on the same level without variation or perhaps it’s the fact that there feels like there’s no real goal to the game. The challenge lies in chaining together the daisy petals for higher scoring per match. But there’s not a lot of level progression or challenge otherwise in the game on the whole.

In fact I probably should have done this review some time back but I lost interest in the game and then it started locking up and crashing. Now my iPhone is ’edited’ so it could be the OS I have and not in fact the game at all. However I paused it and then hit the home button to leave the game and ever since then I have been unable to re-enter and continue my game.

The soundtrack consists of a carousel-like ditty that will keep you bopping along with it. Too bad the gameplay wasn’t as interesting as the song. Some of you might really like this game and others not. Best bet is to check out the demo first if possible.
