Flower Floats to iOS Devices Via Annapurna Interactive

Flower, the thought-provoking float-‘em-up by Journey developer thatgamecompany, has soared to iOS courtesy of indie label Annapurna Interactive. This is a bit of a weird one because the licensing information still states that Sony owns the game, so some kind of arrangement must have been made. To be fair, Annapurna Interactive is comprised of former Sony Santa Monica employees who helped incubate thatgamecompany during the Flower days, so it was probably quite easy to get the greenlight in the end.

As you’d expect, you play the game by tilting your smartphone or tablet, much like the PlayStation Vita version. “This is an interactive escape that takes you on an emotional journey like no other game you’ve ever experienced,” the blurb details. The app will cost you $4.99, and is launching ahead of thatgamecompany’s next title: timed smartphone exclusive Sky.
