Where Pebbles Bloom

Features
Read full description

One pebble. One ripple. And the whole pond blooms. Where Pebbles Bloom is a gentle puzzle game: skip a pebble across the water, watch it bounce, and let every ripple wake the sleeping flowers. A SUMMER AT GRANDMA’S 24 handcrafted ponds across three places: a tiled pool at dawn, the village fountain at noon, and the willow lake by moonlight. The light follows a real summer day, from the first sunbeam to the last star. ONE THROW, A THOUSAND PATHS • Bounce your pebble off banks and floats to find the detour • Add spin to curve it left or right • Time a passing duck and use it as a moving bounce • Dodge the watchful koi… or skip right over it • Fly through golden gates in mid-air • Spare the lotus buds: one ripple too many and they wake up AT YOUR OWN PACE No timers. No lives. No penalties. Miss, adjust, try again instantly. Three flowers per pond reward the perfect throw, and Wander mode gives you endless pebbles, just for the joy of it. NO ADS, NO IN-APP PURCHASES, NO ACCOUNT Pay once, play everything. No ads, no in-app purchases, no data collected. Fully offline: on a plane, on holiday, anywhere. MADE FOR EVERYONE Two ways to aim (tap the water or pull the slingshot), reduced motion, larger text, and separate ambience and effects volumes. Available in English and French, on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Take a breath, and skip your first pebble.
