Blueberry Garden Official Page
About
Blueberry Garden is a short experimental game about curiosity and exploration. You take on the role of a creature investigating a mysterious world to find out what is going on there. It’s probably not very much like anything you’ve played before but I hope you will find it enjoyable!
Buy
Get it on Steam – only $5!
There is a demo version there too, so that you can make sure the game runs on your computer. The demo got no ending or goal though so don’t play it too much please, that would only ruin the experience I think.
If you don’t have Steam you can download a demo here.

What people have said about it
“Erik’s Blueberry Garden is a playground of exploration and oddities. It’s beautifully calming yet fast-paced. It’s like every platformer you’ve ever experienced yet nothing like anything you’ve ever played. Most importantly, Blueberry Garden is definitely worthy of the prize bestowed upon it.” — Michael Rose, IndieGames.com
“Blueberry Garden was so beautiful I almost wanted to put it in a ribbon-wrapped box with a kitten and cry a little. And, it felt, a perfect coda to the week – showing the entire spread of games on offer – from the brash and brutal stimulations of the big boys, to a dainty little piece of indy magic.” — Bobbie Johnson, guardian.co.uk
“To return to my original comment, Blueberry Garden is your typical indie game, but in the best sense possible. It’s original and innovative whilst taking the finest parts of a well-tread genre and expanding them to show what can still be done to keep it fresh and involving.” — Rowan Davies, The Dead Pixel Post
“The first thing that striked me about BG was the sense of wonder i felt while walking in the garden. I felt like the world was without borders, and without real barriers. The more fruits i found, the more i was looking for more of them.” — Alessandro Toffoli
“A brilliant game concept that is executed with precision and presented beautifully. Intertwines graphics, sound and gameplay and evokes the feeling that the game world is truly alive.” — Swedish Game Awards Jury
“Blueberry Garden is a one-of-a-kind experience that you shouldn’t pass up. With multiple attempts, the game offers a few hours of excellent and challenging problem-solving adventuring. Despite its short length, the magically evolving garden and joyous drive for exploration it instills makes this game worth every cent of its incredibly affordable $5 price tag.” — Nathan Meunier, GreenPixels
“Blueberry Garden is a one-of-a-kind experience and a star of the indie gaming community. It preserves some of gaming’s most cherished elements — exploration, creativity, and discovery — and does so with a subtle artistic style we so rarely see in games today.” — John Bardinelli, JayIsGames

Dear Blueberry supporter,
My name is Kerry and I am the representative of the G-forums.net, a video game forum which owning 20,000 visitors per day. G-forums is a rapidly developing video games forum with great potential. I’m contacting you because recently we are doing some code and license giveaway activities and you might interest in it.
I’ve pay close attention to your game for a long time and just wondering could you give us several codes or licenses of Blueberry Garden so that we can do a contest on your game.
If you give us the license or code, we should spare no efforts to promote your game on our site.
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards

Hey there,
Absolutely love the game. It’s simple and beautiful. I was watching a video of it on Youtube and was completely engrossed! Couldn’t take my eyes off it!
Was curious as to what software you used to make it?
Keep up the great work :)

Hi, glad to hear that! I used something called XNA to program the game. It’s free but you can only make Windows games with it, unfortunately.

This game quickly became extremely frustrating. Next time, don’t put in a time limit, or don’t put in a goal.
or just fix the damn collision detection and control system.

[...] If you’re looking to get out of seeing another bizarre European indie film, get your gal this game instead. Designed by a Swede, this beautiful and quirky game reminds me more of an interactive art piece than a video game. Don’t be fooled: there is a goal in this game, not made evident by the above trailer. If Ebert played this game he would give up his silly notion that video games are not an art form. Bobbie Johnson, from the UK Guardian, described this game as ” a dainty piece of indie magic”: “I almost wanted to put it in a ribbon-wrapped b… [...]
