About the Game

Blooming is a 2D action platformer with a retro pixel art aesthetic, where chaos does not come from evil… but from your own god.

You play as Rose, a student of the Bastion School of Sorcery, now turned into a battlefield. An army of monsters has invaded the academy by order of the Celestial Creator himself, and only you can uncover why.

Explore the different sections of the school, each ruled by an elemental spirit. Defeat their guardians in any order you choose, claim their powers, and prepare to challenge the being who created everything.

Features:

  • Side-scrolling action and platforming with precise controls and fast-paced combat.

  • Classic-inspired combat: wield a bow that can transform into dual blades, allowing you to fight both at long and close range.

  • Elemental arrow system: each defeated boss unlocks a new arrow with unique abilities, switchable at any time.

  • Non-linear exploration: tackle areas and bosses in any order… though choosing the right element may give you the edge.

  • Optional bosses that enhance elemental arrows, rewarding exploration and mastery of combat.

  • Resource management in battle: defeat enemies to collect essence, used both for healing and ammunition.

  • High-risk decision making: hiding will not save you. To survive, you must fight.

    Can you bloom in a world that was never meant to exist?
