This game was originally released for [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]] in 2009, before getting ported to [[UsefulNotes/IOSGames iOS]] and {{UsefulNotes/Android|Games}} in 2011, and on UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS in 2012. ''Gardenscapes 2'' and ''Gardenscapes: Mansion Makeover'' were released for both phones and [=PCs=] in 2013, but falling popularity on the latter, meant that 2016's ''Gardenscapes: New Acres'' and 2017 ''Homescapes'' (where you have to help restore the house where Austin grew up to change the mind of his parents, who have been thinking about selling it) were released only on mobile.

* MarathonBoss: It ''already'' takes thousands of levels completed to finish released storyline. While the number of levels can be completed every day seems to be finite without ever BribingYourWayToVictory, potentially anyway. [[note]]Given a chance, the full storyline can become an EasterEgg.[[/note]]
