About XenoBloom
PLAYER - DRIVEN DISCOVERY
XenoBloom charges you, an inexperienced demi-god, with the care of a fledgling alien biome. Nurture, harvest, evolve, and sculpt. Create your ideal garden world.
Unique to XenoBloom is its use of Cellular Automata to decide if plants live or die; Just watching their behavior can create a trance-like state of wonder.
WARNING!
XenoBloom contains no running, no jumping, no shooting, no loot, no health, and no shields.
XenoBloom has plants. They grow. And sometimes die.
(XenoBloom also has bacteria, fungi, and animals, but they are generally referred to collectively as "plants" for the sake of brevity.)

This is not a game so much as it is a convoluted paint program. It's weird and fun3 found this helpful
https://youtu.be/4HvpGvnm_ek Offering an extremely more complex version of the 'game of life' players can tend to a virtual garden while fighting against heavy resource costs and unclear progression metrics.1 found this helpful
Just like Patrick Goldbloom of Jurassic Park fame said during the titular title, Park of the Jurassic... Life... uh.. Finds a way. Jeff Goldblum? Patrick Goldenstein. Malcolm. That was the name of his character. Malcolm. Malcolm in the middle of a terrifying dinosaur ride that's gone terribly wrong. Memory.
Great strategy and simulation game, that takes away the sense of godlike control sim players may be used to. In Xenobloom, you work with the environment but must also adapt to it's rules. Pretty good art, especially visually interesting as you increase the density of plant life. Game play won't have you on the edge of your seat, but responding to unexpected environmental changes and learning the basic rules of the ecosystem are great brain-teasers. An excellent, meditative game for anyone interested in ecology, simulations, or puzzle games.
simple and calming. if you want something to relax, try this one
It's more of a screensaver, if anything. 2/10
