Your garden keeps growing while you're away. Pixel Patch is a cozy pixel-art farming game with no ads, no in-app purchases, and no data collection. Pay once, play at your own pace. GROW A REAL FARM GIANT CROPS - Plant the same crop in a square and it can grow into one Big, Huge or Gigantic crop, up to four tiles across - Giants are rare and worth far more than the plants they grew from - Photo mode hides the buttons so you can screenshot your farm VILLAGE FAIR - Your best harvest of the week enters the Village Fair automatically - Three rival farmers compete against you, with judging every Sunday at 8 pm - Win ribbons and coins, and unlock decorations for your farm - 22 crops across 7 rarity tiers, from everyday vegetables to legendary finds - Crops keep growing while you're away, so your farm never stands still - Water your plants to speed up their growth, or place sprinklers to boost the crops around them CHASE THE RARE STUFF - Every harvest has a chance to mutate into something special: Golden, Rainbow, Diamond, Ancient, or the vanishingly rare Celestial - Track every discovery in the Collection Book MEET THE VILLAGE - Three shopkeepers, each with their own personality, dialogue, and friendship level - Take on NPC requests, daily quests, a weekly challenge, and full story questlines for each character ALWAYS SOMETHING TO DO - Customize your farmer's overalls, shirt, and hat colors - 89 achievements to unlock - Daily login rewards and Mystery Crates - Treasure digging with hidden relics and curiosities - Seasonal events throughout the year: Halloween, Christmas, Cherry Blossoms, and the Lantern Festival MADE ENTIRELY BY HAND Every sprite is hand-drawn pixel art. Every sound is synthesized in code. There are no stock assets anywhere in this game, just one person's farm, built one feature at a time. NO ADS. NO IN-APP PURCHASES. NO DATA COLLECTION. Pixel Patch is a one-time purchase. That's the whole business model. No ads interrupting your farm, no pressure to spend more, and nothing about you is ever sent to us or to any third party. Your save can optionally back up to your own iCloud account so you never lose progress, but it's yours alone, we can't see it.

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 call

The clearest difference is price: 花格 Bloomgrid at Free against Pixel Patch's $2.99. 花格 Bloomgrid also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 11 days). Pixel Patch's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
