Clutter 17: Flower Power Collector’s Edition is a 2025 puzzle game developed by Puzzles by Joe and released by Grey Alien Games. It is similar to previous Clutter games in the series.
The Gameplay of Clutter 17: Flower Power Collector’s Edition
Clutter 17 has variations of the same puzzle- pairing a matching set of objects. The game boasts over 1800 puzzles and randomly generated levels, which means endless replayability. Each level has a timer and several pairs available. Not all objects on the board have a matching one. If one gets stuck on a level, it can be skipped. Besides that, from the main menu, you can access “Contents” and choose a type of puzzle and level.
Every few levels, we get a new type of puzzle for variety—it can be sliders, reassembling a sliced-up picture, or a mahjong-style puzzle with tiles.
I really liked that you can skip levels because I found the eponymous flower levels—where we find pairs of the same flower—quite difficult for my tired brain. The other types of puzzles, however, are very addicting. While the idea was to give the game a brief spin and leave it for another day, instead, I found myself playing for an hour and a half straight.
I haven’t played any of the other Clutter games, and at first glance, I wasn’t impressed. The board looks very busy, and the pile of objects looks overwhelming, but there’s something very satisfying in finding pairs and slowly but surely clearing the board. On top of that, the soundtrack is varied and well-suited to each puzzle. So, all in all, it’s a very satisfying puzzle adventure, especially if you don’t have a lot of time for gaming.
Instructions on how to play each game are provided at the beginning of each level and in the main menu. For now, the game doesn’t have Steam achievements or trading cards, and the options are quite limited to sounds and graphics.
Conclusion
Clutter 17: Flower Power Collector’s Edition is an unlikely hero in puzzle games, at least in my book. It doesn’t look as polished as some of its modern-day competitors. But it still delivers a great gaming experience, whether you are a die-hard fan of the puzzle genre or a casual gamer looking for a quick puzzle game while on a break.
