Oliver the Robot had lived in a world of metal his entire life. But then, one day, a bird flew overhead and dropped a brightly colored flowered right next to Oliver. He had never seen something so pretty! His metallic heart was set on finding more, and bringing color into his formerly grey life

Bloom's main mechanic is something you've probably never seen in a platformer. Instead of avoiding dying and respawning, respawning is actually critical to pass many of the levels! When Oliver the Robot touches heat his body will break, and he'll need to get a new one. However, his old robot body will stay where it was broken, allowing you to use it as a platform! This can be used to scale tall walls, make previously impossible jumps, or to block certain paths!

Lovable Character

The protagonist of the game is a robot named Oliver. A lot of attention was put into developing the story, levels, and mechanics around Oliver to make him a lovable character!

Creative Mechanics

In most platformers, the goal is to avoid dying as much as possible. Bloom, on the other hand, uses respawns as a mechanic to complete levels! When you respawn, Oliver's old robot body stays in place, allowing you to use it to complete the level.
