Toxic Bloom

How to Play: 

Each round, you can either upgrade an ability (up to level 5) or swap one of your abilities for a new one. You’ll also earn coins each round, which are spent to activate abilities that help you gain followers. Your goal is to meet the supporter quota shown on screen by the sponsor—fail, and your campaign ends.

How It All Began:

You are Sunny Kirkleaf—a sunflower-headed “Thought Leader” and Petalfluencer. Voted Most Likely to Appear on a Podcast three years in a row, Sunny was once just a compost-awareness motivational speaker… until he was “discovered” by The Sponsor, a fast-talking Russian investor.Now, Sunny parrots every word as the two launch a full-blown propaganda campaign to promote their revolutionary cryptocurrency: FlowerPower™. Every round, you must hit your supporter quota—fail, and the sponsor pulls the plug. But with quotas rising higher each turn, you’ll need to take bolder risks, gamble with chaotic mechanics, and invest in increasingly bizarre upgrades to keep your Seedling Army growing. Spread FlowerPower™ and keep the sponsor satisfied.
