Blossom Sort by Zeromaze scaled to $60K a day

Blossom Sort by Zeromaze scaled to $60K a day with only 20K downloads per day 😅. This unconventional take on the sort puzzle is packing more than 1 trick up its sleeve.

Only one pack can unlock at a time, so you have to keep coming back to start unlocking the next one.Here’s the twist: they’re now offering an *auto-start* option for a price!
