Written for the Game By Its Cover 2018. 

Bloom is a fast retro inspired plat-former with 5 levels, numerous enemies and fruit  and special bonuses to collect (including the infamous Ice-cream trolly!).

You must help Squik pick flowers and arrange them in a row for extra points. collecting all the flowers leads to a bonus round and the next level. How far will you get without being hit by falling flower crates? If they get in you way, then punch them away...

Featuring accurate chip-sounds (from a custom chip synthesiser) and chip tunes.

You decide on the platform you want to play. Will it be the original arcade version, then NES version or the fabulous Atari 2600 version?

Dare you wait around for the trolly to be released?

Will you manage to get 3 matching flowers in a row?

How many crate will a florist mouse punch?

Will you hum along to the original chip-synth music and 8-bit sounds?

What will you do when the crates get too high and explode?

And who is responsible for the bonkers crane? Cyril the Lobster?

Will you Get hit by falling flower crates or blown to smithereens by TNT?
