FlowerPower is a strangely themed but interesting puzzle / action game. Perhaps being most similar to the arcade classic Q-Bert, the object is to hop around the level, collecting flowers and avoiding the policeman. The level constantly changes its layout, so you'll need strategy and some luck in order to collect 'em all before you run out of power. (You start with some power, and collect more when you pick up flowers.) The graphics and sounds are decent enough, and the game is presented in high-res (for DOS) 640x480 mode. The movement keys are a bit difficult to get used to since you only move diagonally. I find it easiest to have my left hand over the Home and End keys and my right over the PgUp and PgDown keys.
