Every once in a thousand years a game comes along that redefines the meaning of cute! This is not really that game. Although it is cute. It involves flowers, but not necessarily hippies as far as I can tell. It is a platformer, although it’s not scrolling. It is actually another game from Spell of Play, but it’s completely opposite of T.W.T.P.B. The one, the only….BLOOOOOOOOM! The totally awesome game about picking flowers…or not. Okay, okay, I’m not actually picking on Bloom and this is not going to be a negative review. I just meant the or not part if you didn’t really like picking flowers, or if you aren’t a girl. Most girls like picking flowers, so you may think it’s awesome if you’re a girl. Bloom is your typical platform-jumper-collect-things-get-to-the-exit game. However it’s quite interesting. It’s fun (if somewhat frustrating, but more on that later), it’s nice looking, almost-retro-quality-but-not-quite. The music is calming as well as the sounds. It makes me think of the original Ray-man a bit (in the sound department). Would I buy it (if I could) ? You betcha. Actually I’m quite liking the few spell of play games I’ve already played. Maybe we’ll see more reviews of them in the future. Anyways if you want to know more, please read after watching this video of the game in action.
