Tomorrow at NOON PST, I am playing the game BLOOM from @TheIndieAccord and talking to @iamscissors about it! @desura

— Indie (@TheRealIndie) February 24, 2015

On February 24th, Zach (@iamscissors) will be on a livestream with @TheRealIndie as they talk about the inspiration of Bloom, the development, and any challenges that we had to overcome.

Of course the world of Arlon would not be the same without the fantastic music and sounds created by the great Widzy!

Remember to check out Desura and visit the land of Arlon today, only in Bloom.

Bloom is the Accord’s homage to N64 platformers. At its heart it is a love letter to exploration adventure games of years past. Play as James, a boy who has a way with plants. James and his sister Jasmin act as the guardians of the vast world of Arlon. When Jasmin is kidnapped by Salty, the king of the foxes, James sets out to save her. James will need to work together with a beauty queen elephant, a lazy mole, and a completely insane mayor to save Jasmin, all while discovering and helping various plants bloom.

Features:

• 4 unforgettable zones
• 225 Objects to collect (and a secret ending for those who collect them all)
• 10 characters with unique personalities
• N64 platformy goodness!
• An original soundtrack composed by Samuel Widzy
• A magical storyline focused around James and Jasmin, two siblings from the world of Arlon
