The B.L.O.O.M Initiative

The B.L.O.O.M Initiative is a fast-paced, 2D top-down shoot ’em up where you pilot a drone across procedurally generated battlefields. On the hostile planet Shlee, you gather resources, plant lethal bio-organisms and defend your bases from alien and native species.

Build and defend

You begin in a basic training drone, learning to build, plant and fight. As your operations expand, two aggressive alien factions take an interest. Upgrade your drone and adapt your strategies to survive against overwhelming odds.

Campaign and survival

You can play the built-in Campaign or Survival sets of levels, facing battles against the planet’s inhabitants.

Create your own levels

The in-game editor used for the Campaign and Survival modes lets you build, test and play custom levels. You can set enemy waves and boss encounters with precise timing, script on-screen briefings and prompts, and choose a biome, map size and starting funds. Set objectives such as survival, relic hunts or kill targets, then place spawners, buildings, resources and power-ups. You can also toggle weather effects and adjust difficulty and time of day, then jump into the game to playtest and iterate. Finished levels can be shared through Steam Workshop.

Design your weapons

Create weapons in the game from thousands of combinations. Load existing builds, choose a custom weapon for your loadout or start with the Spiral, Laser or Missile templates. You can edit, rename and manage your creations, delete unwanted ones, and test weapons in play alongside your custom levels without external tools. Weapons can also be shared with the community.
