Bloomwave

Build color. The wave breaks it. BLOOMWAVE is a neon puzzle where the music stacks up. Place pieces to build 2×2 squares of one color, and every few beats a wave spreads out from the center of the board and detonates them. Breaking is the wave's job. Yours is deciding what to build and where. ■ A game about building • Drag one of the three pieces from the tray onto the board • Pieces do not rotate — this is about placement, not about spinning things quickly • Any empty spot works, even mid-air. Blocks fall only while a wave is passing • So you can build in mid-air, then have it drop into place when the blocks below break. That is how chains are made ■ The music stacks up Play well and the meter fills; fill the meter and another instrument joins. A board that started with just a beat picks up percussion, then bass, then melody and harmony until the whole band is playing. Keep it up and those same instruments thicken. The visuals climb the same ladder — the board pulses on the beat, light sweeps across it, an aurora drifts behind it. Play badly and it thins out again. Not for standing still, though: the meter only drops when a wave passes with nothing to break. ■ Ten tracks, and the board follows the music Synthwave, drum and bass, lo-fi, funk and more — ten tracks in all. Each has its own BPM and genre, and the wave arrives at a different interval. You start with two and unlock the rest by playing; locked tracks can be previewed in their full arrangement right from the list. ■ Three ways to play • Normal — survive and build your score • RUSH 120s — a short, hard sprint with a weekly leaderboard • Daily Challenge — the piece order is built from the date, so everyone gets the same pieces that day Game Center leaderboards hold the weekly RUSH and the day's challenge. ■ Change the look Swipe the title screen to change the board skin. NEON GRID, GLASS, CRT and AFTERGLOW — earned by playing. ■ Made to be comfortable • Reduce Flashing — lowers the intensity of the beat flash and lengthens its falloff. Offered on first launch, and in Settings any time • High Contrast — the two colors never change between tracks, and one carries a center marker. Never color alone • Light Mode — trims the glow effects to hold the frame rate on older devices • Calibrate — corrects audio latency for your device and headphones. Recommended if you use wireless earbuds • English and Korean ■ No account needed Open it and play. Your records stay on your device, and Game Center is used only for the leaderboards. In-app purchases can remove ads or add the NIGHT SHIFT track pack. Every one of the ten tracks can also be unlocked simply by playing.
