Read full description

Circuit Bloom is a calm-but-sharp solo puzzle game for iPhone. Rotate each circuit tile, connect the energy source to the final bloom, and finish before the clock fades. Every run is short, readable, and complete. Choose a weave, pick a gate, select an unlocked palette, then solve a board built from a deterministic seed. Your moves, time, score, wins, daily clears, rewards, badges, and unlocks are saved locally on your device. What you can do: - Play timed circuit boards with move and score tracking. - Choose between balanced, relay, and practice-style run rules. - Adjust board pressure through Seed, Grove, and Storm gates. - Complete one fixed daily circuit and claim a local reward. - Grow your level, badges, and local spark ranking. - Unlock palettes and signal symbols through real progress. - Save your preferred starting rig for the next run. Circuit Bloom is fully local. There are no online leaderboards, accounts, ads, multiplayer modes, or network features. It is built for focused solo play: a small board, a clear goal, and one more satisfying rotation.
