Bloomgrid is a hex flower puzzle made for your commute. A level takes about 3 minutes, plays with one hand, and stops whenever your train does — next time you pick up right where you left off. HOW TO PLAY • Place seedlings in a hexagonal garden • Five touching flowers of one colour bloom • Fill a whole line from edge to edge to harvest it • After a clear, the outer flowers slide toward the centre and set off chains FEATURES • A journey through Japan's gardens: 10 regions from Hokkaido to Okinawa, 240 levels. Every region has six local flowers, and each level you clear adds a flower card to your book — flower facts, flower meanings, where to see them, and their place in Japanese culture. Weeds spread, stone tiles need breaking, and every chapter ends with a boss • Daily Puzzle: one board a day. All 3 seedlings are face up and you get just 3 moves — can you match the best solution? Send a challenge code and friends can play the same board in their browser, no download needed • Last time's you: when you replay a puzzle, faint dotted lines show where you put each move last time • When you lose, you see how close you came; fail the same level three times and a helping hand steps in • No forced interstitial ads, and levels are always free PURCHASES • Energy refills 1 point every 20 minutes; you can buy an instant refill or 1 hour of unlimited energy • Bloom PASS (monthly): get ad rewards without watching the ad, no home banner, 1 free tool every day • Bloom Pro (monthly / 3 months / yearly): energy cap 10 with twice-as-fast refills, a free refill and a free Last Chance every day, and an archive of every Daily Puzzle since you started • Archive+ (Bloom Pro add-on, one-time purchase): play the Daily Puzzles from before you started, all the way back to launch day; needs an active Bloom Pro • Garden Atelier sets (one-time purchases): scenes, seedlings, frames and effects to mix and match — looks only, gameplay is unchanged • PASS and Pro are separate auto-renewing subscriptions — get one or both. They renew and are charged to your Apple Account within 24 hours before the period ends unless cancelled; cancel any time in iPhone Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions • No random loot boxes and no virtual currency Terms of Service: https://bloomgrid-83374.web.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://bloomgrid-83374.web.app/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GEAR at none against 花格 Bloomgrid's 10. GEAR also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 4 days). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
