How it feels

A tranquil, trance-like experience of nurturing and shaping an alien garden, where watching life bloom and fade is the entire game.

What players say

Players are split on XenoBloom. Some call it a relaxing toy or interactive screensaver built on cellular automata, while others find it too limited and shallow for a game. The lack of tutorial and the small play area are common complaints, but the low price and calming soundtrack win over other buyers.
