About

Bloomstream

Water always finds its way. Your job is to show it where to go. Bloomstream is a cozy water-flow puzzle. Tap a mound of earth to dig it out and the spring pours through the gap — down, sideways and up again, filling every space it can reach, just like real water. Tap open ground to build a wall and hold the flood back. One finger, two moves: dig or dam. Everything else is the water. WHAT THE WATER IS FOR • Seedlings bloom the moment the water reaches them. Every one has to bloom. • Fish need their pool filled before you can finish. • Cats must stay dry. Flood the cat and the level is over — so wall it off before you open the channel that would soak it. • Frost spreads along any water it touches and turns it solid. Ice levels are races: dig your route before the cold gets there. Built a wall too late? Build another. Cutting a pool off from the spring drains it away again, the blooms fold back into seedlings, and you can try a different line. Nothing is wasted, nothing is punished. NO PRESSURE, EVER • No timers. • No move limits, no par, no star ratings. • No lives, no energy, no waiting to play again. • Play offline, anywhere, for as long as you like. You lose a round only by making a genuinely wrong move, and you can start it over instantly. Most levels come apart in a minute or two, once you spot the one dig that routes the water around the thing you were trying to protect. That moment — "oh, THAT's where the channel goes" — is the whole game. HAND-BUILT LEVELS, EVERY ONE PROVED SOLVABLE Over fifty levels, ordered so the gardens grow with you: a tiny board and two taps at the start, then bigger gardens, cats to protect, and finally the frost. Every level has been checked by a solver before release, so there are no impossible boards and none that solve themselves by accident. GENTLE ON THE EYES AND EARS A warm little garden diorama, soft toy-like blocks, water that sweeps across each tile as it arrives, and the small sounds of digging, splashing and blooming — each dig a step up a scale as you carve a channel. Sound and vibration can be switched off in settings. A PUZZLE GAME FIRST No farm to decorate, no story to sit through, no meters to refill. Just a garden, a spring, and the question of where to dig. Something calm for the end of the day that still makes you feel clever. Grab a level. Let it flow.
