Prune 4+

Absolutely Love This Game, But, Could Use a Few Improvements

I just started playing this game about a week ago and love it. It looks so simple but there's so much more than what it looks like.
There's a few things though that I feel could make the game even better and address a couple of questions and issues. I was surprised to find out there was a "ceiling" and you can only go so far up. It would be great if it was indefinite to see how far you can actually go.
I was also wondering what the different color "moons" or "suns" were, are they something you want to branch out as much as possible to? And the different colored diamonds in the sky. I noticed occasionally when there's a blue diamond a blue flower will bloom then just as quick disappear.
I seem to notice when cutting branches the game doesn't respond to my swipe and sometimes it takes two or three times before it cuts.
Lastly, are white branches a good thing? They seem to be a random thing. It would be great if these things could be explained in the opening of the game. Otherwise, I think it's a great game!

Here's some help on the colors in case you're still wondering:
Red orbs - infect your tree = bad :)
Blue/green orbs - add more growth potential to your tree
Blue diamonds - These only fill in when you've found the secret blue flower for the level. Not all levels have them.
White branches - not sure which you're referring to here. Generally the tree branches turn white/highlight when getting affected by certain things. There's also the white trees which I'm not going to comment on... :)

A relaxing, engaging, and peaceful puzzle game

I got this game when it went free to support people in lockdown due to the pandemic. I first just want to stop and point out how generous and kind that was before I even discuss the game. Thank you!

On first glance, I was underwhelmed by the game. I thought the pruning concept was too simple and it was a rather boring. However, I am glad to say this was a very, very wrong first take. After sinking some time into this game (I am at the 4th world) I find that the game develops its mechanics in a fashion that feels intuitive to the player without having to say a word, and required me to focus on how to solve each puzzle in its unique fashion. Furthermore, they are able to build on each level while maintaining the black and white serene atmosphere. I am usually someone who always has their phone on silent. But this is a game that needs to be played with sound. The soundtrack is so calming and peaceful, and playing this game with headphones in is a meditative masterpiece.
