Thanks for playing Pikmin Bloom! New in this version:
-Bug fixes
*Please download the latest version of the app from the store for the changes above to be reflected.
Unplayable for travellers, kinda boring after a while, but good to get moving
I wanted to love this game, but as someone who travels a lot, it’s virtually unplayable. Expeditions can literally take YEARS to complete, making those Pikmin and seedlings entirely useless.
Not only that, but after 2 months of playing, it’s starting to get boring. There’s really only so much you can do in the game before it’s just all the same repetitive actions with no new outcomes.
I think with new features and an amendment to make overseas expeditions faster, it would be a lovely game. It’s definitely got me moving more, which is a huge plus, so I do love it for that, but I don’t see myself playing it for much longer honestly if these things can’t be fixed :(
