Bloom Box

A game about trying to open a strange artifact. Created for Godot Wild Jam 94 by James McVitty and Callum Thomas.

About

Three challenges stand between you and the secrets of the "Terra Artifact". Otherwise referred to as "the box", what it contains is a mystery which you have volunteered to try and solve, in the name of science... and perhaps in the name of shady government projects.

Handle this "box" with care. Try not to be exposed to too many of its MTB rays. And if you fail... maybe the next impressionable young volunteer wil

Controls

Point, click, and drag. Esc. to toggle pause/options menu.

No controller support.

Tips for difficulty

  • In the second minigame (drag the electrode): drag the mouse slightly ahead of the electrode. It will travel directly to the mouse and smooth out any jitters in your mouse movement.
  • Third minigame (click all the nodules before time runs out): Make your window size smaller to make clicking all the nodules easier due to less mouse travel.
    Easy mode possibly coming in future?

Platforms

Windows, Linux, macOS (unsigned - sorry!) and Web. Please allow for a small load time when starting the web version.

WEB VERSION: Mirror reflection layers aren't working correctly in Safari or Chrome but seem to work fine in Firefox. If you have issues with the mirror reflections blocking out the whole screen, I recommend downloading a copy of the game for your system, or playing in Firefox.
