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!

If there was ever a bigger need for world peace it would be now. Technology is used for such terrible things, but I think this app could be a source of world peace. If everyone had this app, I think all war would stop. It gives you a sense that life is bigger than you think, and there are more things you may happen upon along the way. It makes you really question the effect a tree or a person can make. Maybe everything we see is actually bigger and more meaningful than how we see it. Trees are one of the most beautiful things in nature and this app really shows it. It's a journey through life in your own pocket, hand, or purse. I love this app. I play it before I go to bed and I have never been able to sleep so well. The next day I was in a great mood and ready to face the challenges of the day. It's a bit pricey, but I think it is definitely worth it. Someone definitely put a lot of effort into making this and it is really a beautiful app and one of the best I have ever bought.

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.

One of my all time favorite games...it's just so perfect in every way...the craft/art that went into this game/project by the dev and musician is one of the all-time greatest achievements in IOS gaming...imo, it changed every notion you could have about an iOS game, and the kind of game devs could make...this is like that masterpiece album that influenced a new generation of game developers with a strong visual presence, combining a timely thought provoking message and innovative gameplay. This is an essential for any iOS library. The score is unbelievably haunting, uplifting and beautiful at difference times within the game...the final 'level' or sequence can bring me to happy tears of joy.Update: developer deserves praise for awesome customer support which is so refreshing to see...this guy can do it all, and seems like one of the nicest people....seriously, support this game if you are discovering for the first time

All I can say is... wow. This game is so much more than just about cutting branches and growing flowers or whatever. It is a story; a story about life, how no matter what obstacle life encounters, it will find a way to survive and continue. And I have never felt so emotionally impacted by a game in my life, besides Shadow of the Colossus. For example, sometimes, I complete a level while the “red” stuff, whatever it is, is infecting my tree, and, even though I completed the level, I feel a pang of sadness as I know that that tree will spend the rest of its days as a red husk, unable to produce flowers or do anything other than sit there as a testimony to the red infection. I have never felt like this towards a game, ever; this is a game about GROWING TREES, for Pete’s sake. And yet it managed to pull on my heartstrings as though I could feel everything the trees felt in the game. Easy five stars, amazing game.

cw for (non-graphic) intense/disturbing stuff towards very end of game. Long term gamer here chiming in with my appreciation. Really beautiful game, amazing score. There is very much a plot and it's so worth playing through the full way. Really reminds me of Braid, which is another puzzle game with novel mechanics that ends up being about what it is about. If you liked Braid, I think you'll probably enjoy this.Don't cheat - it isn't worth it, there's a skip button for a reason. And do listen with headphones (although I got freaked out by the intensity near a certain point that I took mine off and had to re-ground myself in reality for a few minutes) Despite the cw I don't really think anyone should avoid this game, I'm pretty fragile and turned out fine, just be ready for more than a tree generator. A lot more. 100% worth it.
