✓ MehGameplay is short and the game has a lot of difficulty with scrolling around. Not very many levels and very difficult to change between scrolling and cutting the tree. There should be more levels with smoother gameplay and better directions. You have to figure out how to play pretty much on your own after the first two levels. Also crashed multiple times during the hour I was playing.HdndkaidjdVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Cool but idk what I’m doingI’m literally just confused, I’m just swiping when it tells me to swipe but what am I doing.Raylin LeeringVersion: 1.0.0

✓ What am I supposed to do.I have zero idea as to what I’m supposed to do!.Frankster222Version: 1.0.0

✓ Boring as can beIf it were anymore boring I’d fall asleep. You just put “a seed” in the ground & cut the branches not getting light. Uninstalled after 6 levels of the same boring crap. Can’t even change the type of tree..Islndtkr416Version: 1.0.0

✓ Great game but needs a little optimizationGreat game, but the plant animation feels glitchy (seems to be running not smooth 30fps as opposed to 60?). It’s distracting..Saeid.Version: 1.0.0

✓ Would be amazing if it were not so frustrating :cI have played through the first 3 groups of levels plus a couple more on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. I am also an artist and developer myself. Here are my thoughts: Aside from the problems I will explain below I think this could be a stellar work of interactive art and a very fun game to play. The mechanics are very intuitive and engaging. I find the growth of the tree to have just the right balance of chaotic uncooperativeness and suggestability. I find the visuals to be very beautiful and love the way they create an elegant and minimal-feeling but still detailed design. I am into printmaking so I particularly appreciate the theme of black block on paper with red accents. That said, there are a couple issues that make the game unenjoyable for me. Camera Movements The camera moves around a lot on it's own. I find that it is actually more of a challenge to make accurate cuts with my average size (for a male) fingers while the camera is wandering around than it is to get the tree to grow how I want it to. Keep in mind that I have effectively the biggest phone screen you can play this game on. I get that the camera is trying to keep you aware of where your tree is growing into, but when I set the camera to a certain spot to look at an area or make a cut, I don't want the camera moving around. I don't often express frustration outwardly, but the camera movement was so annoying that I found myself involuntarily exclaiming in frustration a couple times *per level* by the time I stopped playing. This problem alone was sufficiently game-breaking to prevent me from continuing to play. This is the primary reason for such a low rating. A less significant (but still annoying) complaint with the camera movement is that zooming and panning works in an unintuitive way. The play field does not anchor itself to the fingers performing the gestures, but instead it feels like the way your fingers move is merely a suggestion for how the camera moves. I sort of get the feeling that it is done this way to make the game feel more cinematic, but in my opinion it does not have this effect. I suggest adhering the camera movement more closely to the user's finger movement to make panning and zooming feel more controllable. Frame Rate My second major complaint is that the game runs at ~a cinematic~ 20-25 fps or so. I can only guess that this is intentional for the purposes of a cinematic feel due to the frame rate consistency and high computing power in all the devices I have played the game on. However, I find that it ends up just being distracting and unpleasant to look at. Part of the reason film-makers can get away with such a low frame rate is that their films have motion blur to smooth out the transitions between frames, which this game does not. Medium and fast moving objects like the saw blade and wind particles as well as faster camera pans and zooms are unpleasant to look at, making it feel like I am running the game on a dinosaur's smart phone. I feel that this issue significantly limits the game's artistic potential and makes the game somewhat unpleasant to play. I would certainly give this game a 5 star rating if all the issues above are addressed. I hope to be able to change my review for the better soon. Keep up the good work! c:.Greg2.71828Version: 1.0.0

✓ Nice game but so laggyVery choppy/laggy/poor frame rate. Currently not enjoyable and would probably wait until it’s fixed before playing. Even on the m1 iPad Pro.The app ratererVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Disappointing endingGame has a remarkable lack of direction and while fun and challenging ends with a whimper instead of a satisfying conclusion. It’s especially true of the blue flowers which is a secondary goal on several levels that isn’t obvious in the least. I went back and redid every level until I got all the blue flowers as well and recompleted the last level. It led to the conclusion which I won’t spoil except it’s fairly lame..Poemlover55Version: 1.0.0

✓ Fun for 2 hrsPlayed through the entire game and bonus lvls in 2 hours. Super fun but not for long. Could be a great game if they added more lvls..Ftn1313Version: 1.0.0

✓ Watching grass growThis re-release of an existing rebadged game into Apple arcade is utterly thrilling non-stop action, supported by a banging music score /s.Jon_DodsonVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Great concept but…It got way too hard really quickly. I LOVE the first group of 12 puzzles. The music is calming, and the art is beautiful. All of the sudden, starting at level 13, it got so much harder. I was very stressed out, when that seemed exactly opposite of what the game seemed to be built for. I mean, I can play the first 12 levels repeatedly, but I just don’t get the jump in difficulty. Should the game stress me out?.BennyKatzVersion: 1.0.0

✓ This game looked amazingAnd it didn’t not disappoint…well until I realized I finished the game. It is so relaxing & challenging at the same time. I really hope there are more levels coming soon..Ellister1996Version: 1.0.0

✓ What’s different?Seems exactly the same as the previous game, or is it just me… Had recently been playing the original release, to brush up, expecting this to be different, e.g. performance, graphics. I can’t see a difference at all bar the + to the game title. Disappointing in my opinion..Dj ToneZVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Wish I read the reviews firstI absolutely loved this game and played all of the way through in less than two hours. This stunning game is like any other. At the end, I genuinely felt a bit of melancholy, what now? It’s over? I played it on iPhone and I might re-play it on iPad again sometime. The story, the simply but beautiful visuals, the actual puzzle play: love and melancholy. From a video game. Wild..ABesqVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Good but not enough contentThis is a great game. Can be very relaxing and zen. But there’s not much there, maybe a little bit more than 40 levels. I finished it completely in 2 hours. Doesn’t seem worth the $4.99 or the Apple Arcade subscription either. Hoping to see more levels soon so I can continue.NikdeniseVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Poor performanceWas waiting a little while for this one, but has poor frame rate and pacing. Shouldn’t this be running much better????.Thos07Version: 1.0.0
