Bloomer

Bloomer is a one-thumb arcade game about a caterpillar circling four flowers with a snake on the same track. You never steer. You flip which way you are travelling, and you hop to a flower that is touching yours — that is the whole control scheme, and it is enough to be constantly, narrowly wrong. Petals bloom on the rims and wilt if you are slow. Every four of a colour completes a butterfly, and six butterflies empty the strip and change what grows there: white, gold, silver, then metallic, with the snake faster after every one. One bite ends it, whatever you had collected. The petals you banked are your score — and they go on the leaderboard. Controls: tap the arrows button (or any arrow key) to reverse direction. Tap the swap button (or space) to hop to a touching flower when one is highlighted.
