Over the holidays my nieces and nephews finally got to check out “Flower,” and it was so fun! My niece Gabby drew this lovely impression of the pink flower in the apartments while her brothers soared through the air.

Did you get to share Flower with anyone over the holidays?

So, over the holidays the great news just kept pouring in. Not only was “Flower” noted as an exceptional downloadable game for the year, we made a few lists for just, in general, favorite game of the year. Which is amazing. With each of our games we try to prove that “downloadable” doesn’t mean “cheap” when it comes to quality of content, so it meant a lot to us that 10 months after its release, you guys still remember “Flower” fondly.

So here’s a roundup of what you might have missed:

Spike TV’s Best Independent Game (video of the acceptance speech can be seen here.)

G4’s Best of 2009: Best Soundtrack

Gamasutra’s 6th Best Game of the Year

Wall Street Journal’s Pick for the Gift Guide

Wired’s 10th Best Game of the Year

USA Today’s 4th Best Game of the Year

David Jaffe’s Best Game of the Year =)

…and last but not least….

Thanks to all of you for spreading the word on “Flower,” and making it such a hit in 2009!
