''Pikmin Bloom'''s overall progression is slow, with new features being unlocked over time as the player's [[level]] increases. To go up a level, a defined set of tasks has to be completed, which can include tasks like walking a certain number of steps, growing a certain number of Pikmin, or planting a certain number of flowers. Some of the features unlocked over time are [[expeditions]], [[mushroom battle]]s, the [[detector]], and new [[Pikmin family#Types|types of Pikmin]]. The game's slow pace encourages not playing it constantly, but checking in on the app every few minutes on a walk to see how tasks are going and to see what's nearby. Over time, the player can also unlock [[Badge (Pikmin Bloom)|badges]] by completing certain criteria. | ''Pikmin Bloom'''s overall progression is slow, with new features being unlocked over time as the player's [[level]] increases.

The game has a number of features which allow multiple players to interact with each other. Flowers planted with the [[flower planting]] feature are visible to other players by default. If multiple players are planting in an area at the same time, and mutually have the "with others" switch on, they can see each others avatars walking. Players anonymously collaborate over time to bloom [[Big Flower]]s, making the game a kind of multiplayer idle game. [[Mushroom challenge|Mushrooms]] can be attacked by up to 20 people (anyone past the first 5 require the use of a mushroom recharge ticket) at once. There is a [[weekly challenge]] feature where players can collaborate to complete a certain goal together | The game has a number of features which allow multiple players to interact with each other.

''Pikmin Bloom'' encourages players to look back over their day with the [[lifelog]] feature. This shows the tasks the player has done in the app over time. At the end of the day, a [[daily lookback]] cutscene will occur, which shows where the player walked that day, and allows the player to write a short journal entry. Every Sunday, there is also a [[weekly lookback]], which shows a summary of how much the player walked compared to the previous week, what places they visited | ''Pikmin Bloom'' encourages players to look back over their day with the [[lifelog]] feature.
