Pikmin Bloom is a mobile game where players can collect and decorate with over 150 unique types of Pikmin. These Pikmin come in various forms, such as wearing fishing lures, hamburger buns, and paper airplanes. Players can explore their neighborhood to find more Pikmin and earn seedlings and fruit by walking. It is recommended to play while connected to a network for accurate location information. The game is optimized for smartphones with at least 2 GB of RAM running on Android 9.0 or above.
Players can team up with friends to take down mushrooms and earn rewards. They can also select a dream team of Pikmin to increase their score and find rarer fruit types. As players explore, they can decorate the world with beautiful flowers, which can be seen on the map and planted by both the player and other nearby players. The goal of the game is to make the world bloom.
Pikmin Bloom is free-to-play but offers in-game purchases. It is recommended to have Google Fit installed and permissions enabled for accurate step tracking. However, compatibility is not guaranteed for devices without GPS capabilities or those only connected to Wi-Fi networks. Continued use of GPS in the background can drain battery life. Some functions may require support for services like ARCore, and it is recommended to use a device with at least 2 GB of RAM for optimal performance.
If players experience frequent problems, they can try troubleshooting steps such as closing all apps except Pikmin Bloom, using the most recent operating system, and contacting support for further assistance. It is important to note that devices without a built-in data-network connection may not be able to maintain a sufficient GPS signal to play during mobile-data network congestion. Compatibility information may change at any time, and the game is constantly being updated. As of August 2022, the information provided is current, but compatibility is not guaranteed for all devices.
