Song of Bloom 12+

This game is the best game I have come across… ever. It is so immersive and has you playing nonstop until you finish. The only complaint I have is that it is too short. It would be wonderful to have an update, or an add-on or something like that. Also, I was wondering why this game had (only) 4.8 stars, so I read the reviews. The one star reviews are from people who didn’t understand the game or thought it had bugs, but really it was meant to be played a different way than the way they were playing, for example, one review said that it ended when it said “a new beginning” or someone else said that it just kept taking them back to the start, but really they just had to interact and get through the puzzles. And it would be nice to have some kind of walkthrough or extra hints. This is the longest review I have written, but it is just because this game is so outstanding. Thank you for taking the time to read this. 😁

I don’t usually write reviews, but this app definitely deserves one. I’ve been following your stuff for a while now and have downloaded all your games. This one in particular is quite possibly one of the best puzzle games I’ve played so far. Not only does it change art styles constantly, but the music changes as well (both the art and music are beautiful as well). My favorite part, though, has to be the very unorthodox methods of solving puzzles. You have the normal variation of touch gestures, but you also have to move the phone around, shake it, use the volume buttons and the charging cable, etc. I love how it tells a story, too. The narrative is great. This is quite honestly one of my all time favorite mobile games and I am looking forward to future games.

I’ve played other games by this developer, like Bacon and Okay. Both were fun in concept, but Okay got hard way too quickly, and Bacon is riddled with ads!

Song of Bloom is very different! I read that it took a year and a half, and it shows! It’s very creative, but you may need a walkthrough, because it’s very confusing, even a little convoluted! But I played through the game twice now, and I absolutely love it! Just a couple of things that keep it from a 5 star game:

1) There’s a bug at the end (the final puzzle) where you put flowers on the tree. The game didn’t register that I’d finished the level, so it technically didn’t end the game lol! Please fix this bug!

2) The origami level with the red roof was very frustrating and took me way too long to finally do! Also, the puzzle where you “bloom” the flowers was very confusing and ultimately very aggravating! This game is not very forgiving at all!

If there are more glitches, I’ll update this review, but other than what I’ve mentioned, the game runs pretty smoothly! The art and music are both incredible, and I definitely recommend you play Song of Bloom at least once - you’ll love it! Just know that it’s very short, maybe 45 minutes to an hour.

Advice (maybe a mild spoiler): Make sure you’re near your phone or iPad charger before you play, you’ll need it!
