Blossom: The Seed of Life

Blossom is very short for this type of game. I would estimate that a full run would take 25 hours. Placing buldings is delayed in the late game. You hover the building over an appropriate space and wait for the game to recognize your action before you can start the build with a mouse click. Expanding your base is cumbersome. Printers can only print in an area around itself so the way to expand is to make multiple printers and power extenders to extend the printing area. When you unlock the rover printer it gets a little better. Repeatedly moving and plugging the rover in to keep the batteries charged is the downside to this base expansion method. T3 autominers can cause some endgame headaches. Walking over them or near them will sometime cause your character to get stuck. The auto unstuck feature kicks in 10 - 15 seconds after you get stuck, but it's annoying and a bug that need to be fixed. You will run out of resources before the end of the game. The solution is to save and reload your game which forces the missing resources to repopulate. It works but it's a bandaid approach to the problem. In the late stages of the game I was using this trick for silver, platinum,…

Don't buy this unless it's on a pretty steep sale. The game is pretty shallow, the story feels disconnected from the game, there are parts of the build system that are entirely pointless, and towards the end you're dealing with artificial scarcity issues that feel like they only exist to drag out the game and I STILL beat the whole thing in 20ish hours even with all my derping around and doing multiple laps of the map looking for and failing to find anything interesting. All of this and the ending is supposed to evoke heart-wrenching emotion from you but since it's had almost zero connection to the game it falls flat and is frankly stupid. Like, it's okay in a very basic sense that it doesn't crash and there is progression but there are much better games that deal with this exact kind of gameplay. Like what's the point of all the base building stuff you're going around and finding to unlock these recipes? Your character will never use them and the changes in terrain along with a lack of things like ladders, stairs, or ramps means either you build out from the tops of hills and just have ugly floating crap or you at best have a few cubes slapped together with a few tables and chair…

great game

Very good game. I played solo but it has great potential for multiplayer. It reminds me of Astroneer. It can be a bit grindy near the end but it's worth it.

I really enjoyed Blossom. It played very similarly to another planet terraform game, but it won on how surprisingly emotional the story was, hardly any technical issues playing (the worst was some terrain getting you stuck, the unstuck option solved each of these), and how well it worked with the recently added co-op mode. I'm amazed it was developed entirely by a single person, very well done :)

This game ist like a mix of planet crafter and astroneer. I liked it a lot although i wouldve wanted to play it for longer, but i dont mind that its on the shorter side. The machinery you will work with gets ridiculously big fairly quickly but i think thats kinda cool, ngl. The map is a little small to be honest. Other than that: its pretty cool, i liked it a lot. You play as a little robot and can customize the colors, which i enjoyed very much. Maybe get it on sale. If you dont mind the shortness: Go and play it, its worth it. ( :
