About

Idle Bloom

Features
Read full description

Water your plots, then walk away. Your garden keeps growing while the app is closed. Idle Bloom is a gentle idle game about sowing seeds and waiting for flowers. Skip a day and nothing is lost—open the app again and a whole harvest is waiting for you. ■ WAITING PAYS Every species grows at its own pace and sells for its own price. Start with quick meadow flowers, then work up to the alpine and hothouse ones that actually pay. Expand from one plot to eight. ■ FIVE UPGRADES Watering Can, Fertilizer, Bees, Greenhouse, Market Stall. The Greenhouse is the one that matters most—it extends how long your garden keeps earning while you are away. ■ TURN OF THE SEASON Stuck? Turn the season. The garden resets, but everything you earned becomes a permanent growth bonus, and the next season moves far faster. ■ 121 FLOWERS TO COLLECT Twelve tiers, from Meadow to Legends, by way of waterside, dry country, orchid house, carnivores, cloud forest and frozen ground. Every flower you bloom is recorded in your herbarium. ■ A BOUQUET A DAY Fill the day's order and earn nectar. Keep your streak and earn more. Spend nectar to skip the waiting. English and Japanese. Plays offline. No account required.
