About the Game

Reef Bloom is a free browser-based ecosystem game where you build and nurture your own coral reef. Place coral on a grid, hatch fish that swim freely through your reef, and watch your underwater world grow more vibrant over time. There is no failure state and no time pressure — you are a steward, not a controller. Reef Bloom is designed as a calm, creative experience that rewards patience and curiosity.


How to Play

  • Place coral on the 10×10 grid to generate Bubble Energy (BE), the in-game currency that powers your reef.
  • Hatch fish by selecting a species and tapping an open tile. Fish swim autonomously using boids-style flocking AI.
  • Grow your Harmony — as you add diverse species, your reef's Harmony score rises and the world becomes more colorful and saturated.
  • Level up to unlock new species across Common, Rare, and Epic tiers — from clownfish and chromis to dolphins and sharks.
  • Explore biomes — travel between Coral Reef, Seagrass Basin, and Deep Twilight, each with unique species and mechanics.
  • Step away and earn — idle streak bonuses reward you with bonus Bubble Energy when you return after a break.

Features

  • 20+ species — coral and fish with procedurally generated visuals, each looking slightly different every time
  • Multiple biomes — Coral Reef for classic reef-building, Seagrass Basin with grazer mechanics, and Deep Twilight with bioluminescent creatures
  • Seasonal events — limited-time events with exclusive species, daily quests, and collectible clams
  • Three save slots — keep multiple reefs going at once, each with its own progress and biomes
  • No accounts required — your data stays in your browser via localStorage. Nothing is sent to any server
  • Works on desktop and tablet — landscape-oriented design built with PixiJS for smooth, responsive gameplay
