Stellar Bloom
Stellar Bloom is a meditative infinite runner where you are a cosmic life-bringer collecting stars to seed a dark, sunless planet with new life. You transform the inert stars into a wide variety of flowers, and the number of stars collected per jump determines the size of each one. Every star-seeded planet is unique, from a chaotic forest of massive flowers to a tidy garden. All art and animations were custom-made.
How will your planet look when you're through?
Controls: Space bar for jump and double-jump. The more stars you collect per jump, the larger your flowers will grow!

This game's artistic vision is clear, direct and well-executed. I'm impressed that so much craftsmanship was put into such a small project.
This game was so soothing and cute! I love the art and animations, you did a great job on them. And the sound effects make my audhd brain so happy hehe. Such a unique concept too, I could see myself playing this for hours when I'm stressed and need to decompress. I would love to be able to take a picture of my planet as some commenters have said. Keep up the great work!! :3
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. I'm glad you liked it <3
I loved playing your game! It's definitely very relaxing and I enjoyed trying to even out the flower variations. I would love to see this expanded with some additional mechanics and art, with the ability to end the run and save a zoomed out snapshot of the planet you created. I can imagine a few more levels with different kinds of plants, like mushrooms or trees, and maybe even different animals with higher/lower jumping capabilities.
Absolutely agree, those are all long term goals for sure (final planet view, different planets and terrain, different creatures). Thank you so much for playing and giving feedback! <3<3<3
Short but very effective and beautiful piece!
The music and the sparkling sounds of the stars being taken and the flowers being born were pleasant and soothing!
What a kind and lovely playthrough. Thank you so much for featuring my game on your channel <3
This game was practically tailor made to my personal aesthetics. Deer, starlight and flowers are such a great combination. Kept it simple, executed on that simplicity. Great job!
Aw, I'm so happy you liked the aesthetics. I was sweating over them, lol. Thank you so much for playing <3
Very chill game. Watch out for the yellow evil triangle though
The what??
It's so addictive. My brain keeps going "just one more flower, this time it's gonna be huge" and then, it's amazed at the satisfying star sounds, and how cute the flower pop up effect is. And how beautifully drawn the flowers are, with such yummy colors. I'm doing a poor job articulating how pure a form of escapism you created here. Simply eggcellent.
Lol, thank you
For a first time jammer, this is amazing, really well polished.
Simple yet fashinating.
The flower are beutiful and the musics fits the mood of the game perfectly, in one word : Meditative.
GG !
Thank you so much, I really appreciate you playing and commenting!
I got this really dense flower patch and a patch of really tall ones :D
Love this game, it's so addicting
Thank you so much, that means so much to me <3

super chillaxing.
That's kind of a fun idea actually, lol. Glad you enjoyed it.
I love the choice of colors for this game, its so mesmerizing!
Thank you, I tried to walk a line between pastel and neon but I think I only succeeded on some displays. Oh well, haha.
This game feels like a brain message. Very calming and relaxing, the art and music is beautiful and the concept itself is very cool as well!
Awww thank you so much!!
Lovely game, even got my partner involved.
Really? I hope they enjoyed it. Thank you both for playing <3
Wow, very simple concept, and yet such a beautiful and well crafted experience 💙 Love it, good job!
Thank you so much!
Cozy little game, not much too it, but what's there is incredibly well crafted.
Thank you!
SUPER cute I loved the sounds and I immediately knew what to do, loved the simplicity and how beautiful the game becomes after you start growing plants
Thank you, I'm so glad you found it cute and enjoyable <3
Very beautiful game, I like the simplicity of it, it's very relaxing, great work!
Thank you so much :)
It's very nice and looks stunning, jumping was fun and I loved that double jump is possible also. Would love to see more biomes. The art was a delight, and sounds fit the game very well.
I would have loved to have enough time for more biomes! It's even in my GDD. Maybe I'll add them after the jam. Thank you for playing!
This is sooo beautiful and fun
Thank you so much!
This was really cute! I could see this being quite relaxing, but unfortunately the spinning started making me a bit motion sick xD. Nice art tho
Sorry about that, but thanks so much for trying it

Thank you for playing my game on your channel! Your planet was starting to look very pretty by the end!
ok played it way too long haha good job!
Aw thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I could do this for hours. Very lovely! The sound design is superb, simple and very effective.
What a kind comment, thank you so much for playing!
Absolutely beautiful! Lovely vibes and fun to play, though like Wolf I am a bit dizzy now haha
Thank you so much, it means a lot to me that you liked it, even though it made you dizzy (sorry!)
what a lovely game! I played too long and now everything looks like it's spinning haha 10/10
Thank you for investing that much time, I hope you aren't still disoriented lol <3
oh i LOVE getting disoriented. one of my hobbies is looking at those optical illusions that make the world look like it's zooming in :) this may cause motion sickness in other people, but i have the opposite of motion sickness. i love being in motion.
That's sure an odd super power to have lol
Simple, but a creative idea (Robot Unicorn Attack meets Flower?) with very classy audiovisual presentation/execution. Good vibes!
I've never heard of Flower, but I'm excited (and nervous now) to try it. Thank you for playing!
Edit: Wow Flower looks wonderful, what a generous comparison <3
The fact that you came up with this and you've never played Flower makes it all the more creative - bravo!
<3 <3 <3
The visuals are god like. Its refreshing and gives positive vibes.
Great job!
You got me blushing over here. Thank you!
Stunning art! Great stuff
