How does Bloom charge?

Merge equal tiles to earn energy. Your first Bloom unlocks at 4,000 merge energy. Each later unlock costs twice as much, and extra energy carries forward. Bloom itself awards score but does not charge the battery.

How do I use Bloom?

Tap Bloom, choose an occupied tile below the maximum value, then check the preview. Confirm to double that tile and clear its occupied neighbors above, below, left, and right. Cancel keeps your Bloom. You can bank unlocked uses for later.

What is Daily?

Daily uses a seed based on the UTC date. Everyone starts from the same setup that day, but your moves determine how the board develops. Restarting uses the same daily seed.

Where are ranks and achievements?

Open the game menu and choose Endless ranks or Achievements. Game Center is optional and requires an Apple Game Center account and internet access. Only Endless scores appear on the leaderboard. Tutorial actions do not earn achievements.

Where is my progress saved?

Game progress saves on your device. There is no in-game cloud-save sync. Deleting the app can remove local progress. Game Center achievements and submitted scores are separate from your local game save.
