Sham-Pignon
By day
A mushroom in disguise. Real fruit keeps its colour, but this one blinks. Leave it be!

See how it playsOne thumb
Swipe, jump, gather.
Three paths through an ancient forest. Your thumb is all you need.
-
Swipe to change paths
Left or right: Pip hops between three forest paths.
-
Jump and slide
Swipe up to leap fallen logs, down to slide under arching roots.
-
Gather the good things
Wild carrots, sunberries, golden chanterelles. Leave the poison caps alone.
From dawn to night
One run is a whole day.
The further Pip runs, the later it gets. Scroll down and watch the day go by.
Dawn
Lavender mist and a sleepy forest. Dawn is free, forever.
The forest path at dawn, with Pip running ahead
Morning
Golden light and the forest in full glory. Morning is kind.
The forest path in the morning, with Pip running ahead
Afternoon
The sun climbs high and the shadows grow deep.
The forest path in the afternoon, with Pip running ahead
Dusk
Long shadows fall, and Pip's glow begins to show.
The forest path at dusk, lit by Pip's mint glow
Night
Pip glows brightest now, the night creatures wake up, and Seeds count double, then more the longer she lasts.
The forest path at night under blue willows and stars, lit by Pip's glow
Forest tricksters
Some forest folk love a prank.
Not everyone in the woods wants to be friends. Learn their little tricks, and Pip runs right past.
The Creeper
All day
A vine that breathes at the forest's edge. If it grabs Pip, swipe to wriggle free before your chain drains away.
The Drip
Dusk & night
Wobbles on a branch above the path. When it stretches, hop to another path, or get splashed blue!
The Lure
Dusk & night
Glows like a treasure, but wanders across all three paths. Real fruit stays put. Don't touch!
Shadow Fox
Dusk & night
Waits low, then dashes straight at Pip. She never turns, so just step out of her way.
Moon Beetle
Dusk & night
Big, blue and not going anywhere. Simply go around!
Night Sprite
Dusk & night
Rushes at Pip like a trickster, but it's really a gift! Run right into it for five Seeds.
Bump into the fox or the beetle and the run is over, unless the friend running beside Pip takes the bump for her.
Gather, chain, bloom
Catch one, and the forest answers.
Every good thing you gather grows your chain. Keep it going and a BLOOMBURST ripples through the trees: the world floods with colour, and every creature comes out to see.
- Gather
- Chain
- BLOOMBURST!
Friends
Ten friends run along.
Make friends in the forest. One runs by Pip's side, takes a hit for her, and brings a gift of their own.

Accessibility
Everyone can play.
Play by eye, by ear or by touch. You'll find all of it in the game's Settings.
Audio Guide
Play by ear. Sounds tell you what is coming on each path: the left path in your left ear, the right path in your right ear, the middle path in both. A rising sound means jump, a falling one means slide.
- Pace: Medium or Hard
- Guide sounds volume
- Learn the sounds
Always on while VoiceOver is running.
VoiceOver
Every screen and every button is read out. In a run, VoiceOver steps aside, so your swipes work just as usual.
High Visibility
Big, clear signs for each path: on the left and right edges of the screen for the side paths, above Pip for the middle one. Jump, slide, path closed, a creature or poison fruit. You choose their size and colour.
Text size
Make every word bigger, up to 200 %. It follows your iPhone's text size, too.
Reduce Motion
No camera shake, no swaying and no colour flash in a BLOOMBURST. It follows your iPhone's setting, too.
Haptics
Every moment has its own feel: a feather-light tap when you gather, a two-step thump when Pip lands. Switch it off any time.
Headphones on
Best with headphones, at a low, comfortable volume. With the Audio Guide, each side path is in one ear.
Tip for parents: on iPhone, Settings › Sounds & Haptics › Headphone Safety › Reduce Loud Sounds keeps headphone volume gentle. You can lock it with Screen Time.
