— What is playing against you
Nothing plays against you — obstacles arrive on a timer.
No opponent — a timer or a spawner
Nothing is playing against you. There is no opponent in this game at all — no model of you, no plan, no choices being weighed. What feels like an adversary is a spawn timer and a random number generator: obstacles appear on a schedule that tightens as your score rises.
This is worth noticing precisely because it can feel otherwise. Difficulty that rises with time reads as an opponent responding to you, and it is not.
What this version is not
The bloom is real and worth reading about. The puzzle has nothing to do with it — it is a standard flood-fill game that borrowed the colours.
