Leave a Review Pikmin Bloom
Amazing game, could be even better
I’ve been playing Pikmin bloom for quite a while now, and I must say it’s really really fun. I wish this game got the love it deserved from fans because it really is great. It’s like pokemon go but with Pikmin, but the main mechanic is footsteps instead of your location, and personally I think this works better. It’s really fun to exercise while also making progress!
I really hope they’re planning a big update when they add the Pikmin 4 Pikmin, because there are two things I think would improve the game even more: 1. A more direct connection with Apple health, since they could use other measurements for other progression mechanics and it could be really cool. And 2. Functionality with Apple Watch!! It would be amazing to just start planting flowers on my watch without pulling out my phone and seeing when they’re done and the rewards I got from planting without going through the long cutscene.
Overall, I’m happy with the game and think it’s great, but I can’t wait to see what they do with the next big updateShow lessMaskedMajora123
Fun passive game, but absolutely trash performance
I’ve been playing this game since it launched on my iPhone 11 Pro. For the most part, it’s a pretty fun little game. It’s basically a gamified pedometer, but it has some neat features to encourage walking out and about in the world. Because it’s a passive game, there isn’t much to do; the joy comes from the exploration and seeing your personal achievements each day and week.
Unfortunately, over the past couple of months, the game has become nearly unusable. There’s 10-, 15-second freezes for every action that I do in the game. I’ve tried logging out and logging back in, deleting and reinstalling the game, everything short of wiping my phone to start over. Nothing fixes it. So what should take a minute or so to do in the game takes five or more. I used to run flowers every time I walked outside, even if was a short trip to my car in a parking lot or to the bus stop. Now, it’s not even worth it. More than half of my journey is over by the time I get the game to work.
Now that the weather is getting nicer, I’d love to play it more. Unless Niantic fixes the performance, and I don’t see that happening, then it’s going to be relegated to an “occasionally when I have time” type of game.Show lessDocDrea323
Love Pikmin Bloom! 🌱🌼
Pikmin Bloom is my favorite mobile game! I’ve been playing daily since launch in October 2021. I enjoy traveling and I adore that my little buddies are like memories of all the places I’ve been these last 2+ years. Some aspects of the game frustrate me like region locked exclusives and the heavy mushroom requirements in events that can block you from progressing as quickly as you’d like. But other than that, this game only gets better with time. It seems the developers do take into account what their users are asking for and slowly make improvements over time. One of the best additions they’ve made in the games is that we now have “bullhorns” which allows you to invite friends to help you defeat mushrooms. I have a friend who almost never leaves home so before this she couldn’t help me with mushrooms and I felt annoying asking other friends and family to go find the mushroom I’d started and join it. Now I get invitations from friends in other countries to join mushrooms and I have opportunities to obtain lovely postcards I’d otherwise never get! Adore the Pikmin franchise and this was the perfect addition! I, along with many others, hope that Ice and Glow Pikmin are in the near future of the game 🙏🧊❇️Show lessBrittible
