Every move blooms. BlockBloom is a calm 10x10 block puzzle where the lines you clear make the blocks around them burst into flowers. Drag pieces onto the grid, fill rows or columns, and harvest your blooms for bonus points. No timer. No rush. Just bloom. THE BLOOM SYSTEM: โ€ข Every block you place starts as a bud โ€ข Clear a line and the buds next to it open into flowers โ€ข Clear flowers for bonus points, and a line that is almost all flowers scores double โ€ข Clear the whole board for a Perfect Clear bonus STUCK? BURST A LINE: โ€ข Clearing lines fills your Bloom Gauge โ€ข A full gauge grants a Bloom Burst: clear any row or column, any time, even when nothing fits โ€ข Save it for the moment you are stuck and turn a dead end into a comeback TAKE YOUR TIME: โ€ข Classic mode has no time limit, so play at your own pace โ€ข The longer a Classic run lasts, the bigger the pieces get, so every game builds to a dramatic finish โ€ข Daily Challenge is a 2-minute time attack on the same board for everyone, with a Game Center leaderboard that resets every day โ€ข Fair pieces: a fresh set of blocks always has at least one that fits FIVE WORLDS TO BLOOM IN: โ€ข Blossom (a dogwood garden at dawn), Sakura (cherry blossoms at night), Ocean (a sunlit coral lagoon), Space (a nebula sky) and Crystal (an ice cave in the morning), each painted as its own home, shop, garden and board โ€ข Garden Stage look: every screen is a painted garden. Scores sit on wooden planks, menus unroll on parchment scrolls with ribbons, vine sliders and bud toggles, and the board is a seedbed where stone tiles bloom into flowers โ€ข Adaptive music: each world has its own soundtrack that opens up and brightens as you clear lines and bloom โ€ข Meet the flower spirit who floats by the gate, waves hello and cheers your best scores FEATURES: โ€ข Daily and weekly Game Center leaderboards โ€ข 15 achievements, including Perfect Garden and Full-Bloom Line โ€ข Line previews while you drag, and an Undo for close calls โ€ข Relaxing BGM and satisfying haptics โ€ข Multilingual UI (English / Japanese) โ€ข VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and Reduce Motion friendly FREE TO PLAY: โ€ข 3 free plays per day โ€ข Watch rewarded ads for up to +9 additional plays โ€ข Optional in-app purchases: Unlimited Play, extra themes, Undo packs, and Premium Bundle FROM THE DEVELOPER: BlockBloom is designed and built by one independent developer in Japan. Thank you for playing. Every move you make keeps this little garden growing.
