Prune for Positive User Reviews

Its wonderfulThe only problem i have is that when the screen gets busy, its starts slowing down, dropping frames. Like its struggling to keep up. Specially with the windy levels and when loads of tree grows at once. Im playing it on an ipad air with latest ios you can have. Apart from thats its very beautiful and minimalist and simple and peaceful :).Version: 1.0.1

From kade SutherlandHi I love this game it’s amazing but can you guys add more levels because I finished the and I want to continue the game forever.Version: 1.1.3

PruneIt's simple yet surprisingly relaxing and enjoyable. It's got a sense of both precision and elegance and although pricey, it's an extremely new and addicting- well designed game worth a try..Version: 1.0.68

Absolutely stunningThis game is almost like meditation! The music is captivating and the graphics are out standing! Such a beautiful game! One I've enjoyed playing!!.Version: 1.0.61

Beautiful & play at your own paceThis is a stunningly beautiful game. The soundtrack is wonderful and the gameplay is super intuitive. I love the fact that there is no time pressure to complete a level or a 'three star rating' system for how many cuts you made, etc. This is a truly relaxing game and a work of art..Version: 1.0.51

A relaxing, engaging, and peaceful puzzle gameI 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..Version: 1.1.3

Mostly lovely.Played through this normally, decided not to go for the post-credits puzzles. This is really pretty, and the gameplay is just thoughtful enough. Every world changes things up importantly, and the concept doesn’t overstay it’s welcome. At best, it’s really satisfying to figure out the right direction to cultivate your tree, and which branches to retain. I found this more pleasant as a sensory experience, though; it’s got a gorgeously stark visual style, and there’s something poetic about the core premise. The puzzles can sometimes feel arbitrary, alas; it didn’t seem like there was a defined solution to any of them, and the trees generally seemed random. But it’s never unfair, and even when it’s too easy, it looks and sounds great, is admirably varied, and keeps up its metaphorical resonance. Solid stuff..Version: 1.1.3

Surprisingly addictive!Simple idea of rapidly growing trees in various patterns and environments. You have to avoid the red, head for the light, open gates and prune madly as you go to "steer" the branches in the desired direction. Pleasing graphics and easy to jump in and out of the game....Version: 1.0.61

Beautiful!Found the game absolutely amazing and enjoyable, but I wouldn't have mixed the industrial environment stuff with the trees and all the natural vibe. Lava is fine, but other plants, rocks or water would have been better than the pipes and the other machines. Still, amazing design work!.Version: 1.0.1

It’s back!Omg! I have had this on my phone for years and kind of forgot about it but it used to be my go-to for some calming, meditative distractions. Cleared all the levels long ago. Now it is back with the first update in years (5 years). I am so pumped! Thank you for the update to one of my favs! It was worth the wait..Version: 1.1.6

AmazingI see why it has game of the year, this is one of the best Indy games I've played since limbo. 10/10.Version: 1.0.51

Beautiful and InsightfulI started playing this game amid Covid-19 spread and quarantine time. I must say this game gave me hope. Each time the trees bloom through hardship and poison I would smile. The art is beautiful. I would play it again and again….Version: 1.1.3

RemarkableI do not know where to begin. So I will just say that this game is an absolute blessing. I can go on and on about this game, but my main focus is those white trees. I have continued to unlock these secrets within the game and I'm stuck on that white tree I saw. It amazed me, brought me to realization that this game is more then just cutting branches off of a tree, it's furthering what the eye can't see. Developer, aid me in my efforts to conquer this game. Thank you..Version: 1.0.68

Simple and calmingLike trimming a bonsai tree. Clever game. Whole family loves it..Version: 1.0.51

Worth the moneyPretty good, but a tutorial would be nice.Version: 1.1.3

Lovely, but shortNice game. Lovely visuals, matching soundtrack. But it's too short: screentime says I took 1hr 48m to finish it - and I'm not much of a gamer..Version: 1.1.3

Great game, original and beautifulI wonder if some of the people complaining about the game being too short realized that some of the levels can be completed with more than one solution. First time around the emphasis is on getting enough flowers, but if you complete the game and go back you'll see several stages can be completed differently in order to make blue flowers bloom..Version: 1.0.51

BeautifulLove the minimalist style.....calming music....a really great app for art lovers..Version: 1.0.1

Brilliant but short livedThe game is brilliant but only takes about an hour to complete all the levels. Some sort of scoring system would be nice also..Version: 1.1.3

Simple and calmingYes it is VERY simple to play but you may find yourself trying to decipher some of the colors and effects of some of the levels. It took me 2 days to make it through the game but now I'm going back for blue flowers and to try to reach the sun etc. I would love to see some instructions added. Maybe the option to turn on or off a point system. I like the non complicated nature of it but I don't think it would be diminished with clarification and points. Maybe a second game with different challenges? Would definitely buy a second version guys! If you build it, I will come!.Version: 1.1.3

Wonderful game, great experienceWe need more games like this! Great game with great sound design..Version: 1.0.68

0_0That was an explosive ending.Version: 1.1.3

So relaxing!I especially like this app because the creative challenge with the background music an added plus! The example video is only a taste. This is a level earning challenge that is not as simple as you would think. I originally bought it for brain stimulation. Success! It's awesome, relaxing and challenging all together. I've paid for TWO apps and this one by far, is worth it!.Version: 1.0.68

More levels please!Beautiful puzzle game. Needs more levels asap!!.Version: 1.0.1

GreatJust wish there was a. Way to record ur score ( I know that defeats the purpose of the game) but I like to see if I can do better the second time around , hard to tell if u did or not , nothing like this zen experience on the App Store will savour this gem slowly . Thx , Zen experiences don't require instructions , I got the idea very quickly.Version: 1.0.51

BeautifulBeautiful and relaxing game that reminds me of Monument Valley. If you liked that, you'll probably like this!.Version: 1.0.1

BeautifulJust gorgeous. Great interface. Absorbing and relaxing but with a design that challenges you like any game to complete levels. Highly recommended..Version: 1.0.1

Such a beautiful game!BUT it needs more levels. I was so proud of this game I told so many people and I'm craving for more! please don't take too long to create more fantastic levels your fans are all waiting now Joel!.Version: 1.0.21

Works greatI don't know why you people on older gens saying the performance is bad. Probably because your device is older. I have iPad Air and it works flawless..Version: 1.0.51

Everything I want in a gameIt's hard enough to challenge but you get through levels at a pace that doesn't make you want to quit. The overarching story is subtlety told visually. Can't wait for another instalment in future. Worth playing!.Version: 1.0.60

Please add some more levelsThis is a great game ! It’s super relaxing and anxiety relieving. But, I’ve completed it in a day and although it’s not like you can’t reply the levels, I already have it would just be nice for new & different challenges :) It’s still a fantastic game..Version: 1.1.3

BeautifulOne of the best games I played on the App Store. Beautiful. Would love to see a Zen mode where you can just bonsai the tree and/or level creator that players can share..Version: 1.0.1

Loved itA short play, but found it very therapeutic. I recommend replaying the levels to achieve different outcomes..Version: 1.0.60

Great GameVery enjoyable game with a good message/theme. I enjoyed it very much - please add more levels. ;).Version: 1.0.1

Love it 💗 but make more levels!I love the game and the graphics soooooo much - but I beat it pretty fast. Definitely worth the buy, but please update and make more levels!.Version: 1.0.51

Uplifting & BeautifulThis game was worth buying, the music and beautiful nature of the game makes me feel uplifted. I have recently passed the first level and now on to the 2nd level. I was wondering if you could add the flowers of my favorite tree, cherry blossoms (I don’t know if you already have them). I could play this late into the night. It’s all I can really say, amazing work. Thanks, Dusty the Dingo.Version: 1.1.3

BeautifulThis is an amazing game..Version: 1.1.3

Thank you for your game!I absolutely adore everything about your game— the music and sound effects are so calming and add a tangibility to all the on screen actions. The art design is easily my favorite part— the use of color as a guide throughout the different levels is really clever. Keeping the game mechanics straightforward helped me feel engaged with the game while still being able to actively enjoy the unique and beautiful world you created. Two of my all time favorite console games are Flower and Journey, and you have managed to evoke the sense of calm and focus I get with those games. I have not encountered a mobile game I have enjoyed as much as yours. I hope you keep making games, and I will definitely keep an eye out for them in the future! Thank you for your game!.Version: 1.1.2

AmazingReally fantastic game. Really fun, a little testing at times but very satisfying and pretty. Amazing music, amazing idea. I really enjoyed it..Version: 1.1.3

A Work of art...Which actually gives a new perspective to the strains plants have to go through to thrive. Beautiful..Version: 1.0.68

Absolutely Love This Game, But, Could Use a Few ImprovementsI 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!.Version: 1.0.68

GreatReally pretty graphics and music. I find it is worth the money :).Version: 1.0.51

I'm glad I waited until the price drop.I enjoyed this game but it is severely lacking in content. I easily finished it completely on the first day. I have had this on my wish list for a long time and I'm glad I waited. I would have been extremely disappointed if I had paid full price..Version: 1.0.68

FantasticGreat game, well produced and presented very well! Good job!.Version: 1.0.32

Prune : my reviewEnglish version below Français : Beaucoup d’avis disent que ce jeu est nul, ne vaut pas 5$ et que il ne devrait pas être jeu de l’année. Je parlerais donc de mon expérience, sans faire attention à l’avis des autres sur le sujet. Pour résumer Prune, il s’agit d’un jeu basé sur un peu de stratégie et beaucoup de relaxation. À vrai dire, j’ai du mal à définir ce jeu selon un genre, il est simplement relaxant. Le principe est assez simple, plusieurs niveaux avec une difficulté croissante, le seul objectif est de tailler son arbre pour qu’il puisse pousser plus haut et atteindre le soleil ou les étoiles. Niveau Gameplay, bien que ça soit amusant quelques minutes, je ne recommande pas d’y jouer intégralement en une journée. Vu que ce jeu est avant tout prévu pour se détendre, jouez-y quand vous voulez décompresser un peu. À noter que dans un tel jeu, se retrouver bloquer peut-être extrêmement frustrant, mais ne vous en faites pas, vous pouvez passer un niveau que vous trouver trop difficile. En soit, si certains puristes y verront un mal, il est en réalité beaucoup plus intéressant de se détendre en profitant de ce jeu que de se stresser plus à chercher une solution. Si l’on s’en tient à ça, est-ce que le jeu vaut 5$ ? Honnêtement, non, car il n’est pas si long que ça. Ceci dit, sa durée de vie est éternelle, il est toujours aussi plaisant de couper son arbre pour admirer les fleurs pousser au Soleil. Mais ce n’est pas ce qui fait la force de ce jeu. Bien que ce n’est pas clair au début, j’ai, à la fin du jeu, compris toute l’histoire, et retenu plusieurs leçons. Je n’irais pas spoil ceci, je vous invite à les découvrir par vous même, mais sachez que ça parle de pollution et d’entraide. Pour toutes les sensations que m’a fait vivre le jeu, bien qu’il soit un peu court, je suis très heureuse de mon achat, et j’espère que vous serez tout aussi combler par Prune en y jouant. Souvenez-vous, ce jeu est là pour vous détendre, pas pour vous stresser. Si vous sentez que le jeu vous énerve, cessez de jouer, vous y reviendrez bien assez tôt, quand vous serez prêt. English : A lot of people say that this game is trash, that you shouldn’t pay 5$ for that and that it shouldn’t be a game of the year. Well let me talk about my experience. First, let’s resume the game. Prune will ask you a bit of strategy and to relax. I can’t really define this game, it’s unique, all I can say is that it’s relaxing. Basically, the gameplay can be resume in cutting a tree to make him grow so it can reach the sun or the stars. Even if cutting a tree can be fun a few minutes, I highly recommend you to avoid rushing the game. It’s made to relax, so use it properly, no one is behind you with a chronometer. Also, we can add that is such games, it can be frustrating to be stuck, and that’s why you can skip levels if you find them too hard. Some people may not like it, but it’s way better if you can just relax and not have that stress of searching for the solution. With only the gameplay, does it worth 5$ ? Sadly, no, and that’s why you can see all those negative comments. The game also don’t have so much levels, however, it’s always fun to play a simply level you’ve already done and just relax while making your tree reaching the stars. But the gameplay ain’t the strength of this game. Even if it’s not clear at first, at the end of the game, you understand the full story and get a few life’s lessons. I won’t spoil you, but it’s basically about pollution and helping each other. So for all the sensations that game gave me, I’m happy of spending 5$ on such amazing game and I hope you’ll have such good time as I had while playing Prune. Remember, make sure to relax. Play it whenever you need, but if you feel that it’s getting on your nerves cause you can’t find the solution, just leave it, you’ll come back soon enough..Version: 1.1.3

Beautiful game!Everything about this game is beautiful, the graphics, the music, the structure, the subtle story and message that it represents. I love how the gameplay is not too complex yet it engages and challenges you at the same time. One of the best iphone games I've played!.Version: 1.0.60

StunningStunning game, simplicity at its finest and most beautiful. To create something quite so magical, huge compliments must go to the designers. Well done. As many have mentioned before can we have some more levels please?.Version: 1.1.3

Not enough game for the priceI love the game and bought it thinking it would be much longer, for the price I was expecting much more. Can't wait for updates now!.Version: 1.0.1

Serene and addictiveIf you are looking for a gameplay look elsewhere. But if you are looking for a quiet place to relax and be entertained then this is for you. The app creates a sanctuary from the "kill", "smash" and "destroy" themes providing a moment of serene enjoyment. I love it.....You are left with craving for more. Perhaps the next upgrade could be for free for us loyal Supporters?.?..Version: 1.0.68

Very creativeCleverly made game, very relaxing and it does pose a few challenges but nothing stressful. - not 5 stars because I do feel like the game could be polished some more. There is also a story or theme behind it all, which could be fleshed out a bit more..Version: 1.1.3

Beautiful.Part bonsai simulator, part world of goo. The very nature of this game is nature itself. The only negatives are the length of the game and the need to not have fat thumbs - too often I miss swipe and end up killing my tree..Version: 1.0.32

Progress RestoredI was casually playing this now and then, enjoying the simple visuals and calming music (albeit with repetitive gameplay and bad scroll inputs). edited review since they fixed progress deletion bug! great work!.Version: 1.0.66

I cannot believe I have not rated this gameI have had this game installed since 2015. This is a true ASMR Type of game very Zen. The stress relief this game imparts is very welcome. Even though I have been through all of the levels countless times I never get tired of the experience. I sure wish more levels, or a similar game could be developed..Version: 1.1.3

Amazing gamePrune is a beautiful and peaceful game that I keep coming back to. I love the whole idea of you controlling the growth of a tree. The images are stunning to look at, even though it might seem simple. Really satisfying to play after a long day. Overall wonderful game. 5 stars!.Version: 1.1.3

Finishing level, but still * * * * *This is a great game, although I have finished all of the levels already. I would recommend that there was some sort of 'final level' where you can grow a huge tree however you want to in an open world. Otherwise, I would recommend the game O.Version: 1.0.1

An amazing gameSimple yet there is something that makes it really good and fun to play. It definitely has work but there is not much else to do, keep making games like this but different styles of gameplay, good job 👍.Version: 1.0.51

Really sweet and zen!Refreshing, original yet beautiful!.Version: 1.0.61

My opinionThe game was really sweet and relaxing, but I wish there where more levels and maybe the music would be just a bit updated, I like it and all but maybe make it so each level as different a type of music. Something to go with each levels own person style. But all together was a great game, I would recommend this game to people who just wanna do something to relax..Version: 1.1.3

EnchantingWhen I first purchased this game, I played it because of the stimulating but relaxing nature of shaping the tree, and I found each new individual level and variable that was introduced fresh and entertaining. However, I played the game rather impatiently without paying much attention to the storyline. At least, this was true at first. As the game progressed, I no longer solely focused on the aspect of passing each level individually, but became enamored with the overall storyline and how it was entirely expressed without words, yet still managed to embody a powerful sentiment regarding human species’ impact on the world as a whole. I rarely write reviews for anything, but this game struck a very positive chord with me..Version: 1.1.3

Good and relaxing...This game is unlike any other and takes the concept of pruning trees and turning it into something really fun and relaxing. It’s great! Only complaint I have is it needs to have more levels. I know it has more then usual puzzle games have but still I feel like it needs more work...it’s really good though. Recommend it!.Version: 1.1.3

Such a beautiful gameFull of meaning, tasteful, challenging and meditative. Please make more of these..Version: 1.1.2

Exceptional gameA real pleasure. Zen!.Version: 1.0.62

How?!?!I’ve seen positive reviews on this game for a long time. This is one of those games that would never make sense for me, personally, to like it. After playing it for the past two days, it just works. It makes you feel calm and like you’re accomplishing something meaningful all at the same time. This game is awesome. I’m not sure if it will be the same for everyone, but it’s definitely worth finding out for how good it feels if this game is for you..Version: 1.1.3

Brilliant and simpleA beautiful game very well made and worth buying..Version: 1.1.3

Very simple but relaxingI like it so far, barely into it. I read a review that said it had sound. I have my volume all the way up but I can’t hear anything. I checked my settings but nothing is off. I even closed the app and reopened it to to sound. Otherwise I enjoy the concept and the functionality of the game..Version: 1.1.3

Great but expensive for what you getGreat beautiful minimalist game, I really enjoyed playing it... But for £2.99 I would of hoped for a bit/lot more content for the price Looking forward to any additional content.Version: 1.0.51

True MasterpieceThis game is captivating from the very start. Intricately tutoring you though the growth of a shoot and pruning away to success. The game is unique and very enjoyable from beginning to end. Throughly excited for what this talented developer has to offer next..Version: 1.0.68

Love BUTTT... Needs more levelsI absolutely loved being able to play a game that was both challenging and also calming while the creating of beautiful trees, i finished the game in one day, however found myself going back through the levels to play again to make taller and more beautiful trees. Desperately need more levels, usually by now i would have moved on and deleted this app to make more space on my phone but i am excited to play more levels, so it can stay.... For now! Please dont take much longer to make new levels, this is the only game out that i have actually enjoyed. I would love a whole garden scenario. I should Copy right that idea. Hahaha! Well done!!.Version: 1.0.21

BeautifulPart zen, part mindfulness, part puzzle strategy. I would love to see a level construction kit made available - and perhaps user-contributed levels could become expansion packs for the game. If not that, then... sequel please!.Version: 1.1.3

Beautiful, elegant, wonderfulI absolutely love this game. Despite playing it through all the levels (including the blue flowers) three times now, I am still occasionally drawn back to resetting it and playing again when I need something quiet, elegant and absorbing to spend some time with. I am not aware of any other game like it. Please, please can we have some more levels?.Version: 1.1.1

Progress restored. Thank you!Just updated and my game progress has been restored. Thank you for the fix..Version: 1.0.66

To fastSo first of all I love this game but here are some things the creator should add I finished the whole game in about a week(on another device) so they should add some more levels or put a creative mode where you can make your own little map other than that The game is great.Version: 1.1.3

Request!Ok, enjoying the game but is there a way to just prune a tree?! As in just a tree that keeps growing naturally and then I prune it like a bonsai to whatever shape I want?.Version: 1.1.3

Beautiful gameMight not keep you entertained for hours on end (took me about an hour I think) but it's clever and well thought out. The aesthetics of this game are amazing, the end of each level looks like a unique work of art. Can only hope that they make more levels for it, I'm addicted..Version: 1.0.51

Lovely.Lovely. It blows my mind how much variation there is in the different levels. I was a little frustrated when I started to play it as I found the beginning too easy, but the second section gratified my wish for a small challenge. You’ve taken a tiny idea and expanded it into something amazing. This app is like a poem in the form of a game. Thank you! One more note. I finished the game exceedingly quickly — and now I’d love some more. Is there a Prune 2 or anything?.Version: 1.1.3

Great gameI keep coming back to check if there is a "free play" mode please include this I've been waiting and checking in for months..Version: 1.0.60

Reminds me of Kung fu pandaThis game is relaxing and really good it reminds me of Kung fu panda when oogway ascends by cherry blossom pellets.Version: 1.1.3

Extremely enjoyable.What a great concept, and what a wonderfully executed game. I played and completed the entire thing in a two hour sitting, and could have happily continued had there been more levels. My only gripe, and this really is nothing more than my own personal preference, was that I didn't enjoy the curved/twisted plant quite as much as the earlier straight plant. But that small issue aside, it was an enjoyable little game. I hope there are more levels soon, or some new game mechanics..Version: 1.0.60

Short, But Sweet and MeaningfulTitle describes the game really. When I got to the end, I had a feeling I knew what was gonna happen & when it happened it was even better and such a full circle I felt. I just thought, "Whoaaaaa." I felt so proud. I learned so much from this game. You'll know what I mean when you play it, which I recommend you do. I've played it only once through but in the future perhaps I'll play again & take my time to try pruning differently so I can achieve some neat looking trees. I felt like the first time I was still learning and ended chopping the branches off into stubs, desperately trying to save my tree. Anyway play it. It's 3.99 but like my bf said, you're paying for an experience. And a great experience it was!.Version: 1.0.68

Great gameReally enjoyed the game play. Well designed, beautiful artwork, great all round..Version: 1.0.60

Short but funIt's relatively short (5 zones) but it's a lot of fun. Some of the puzzles get a little challenging, but it never feels frustrating and lets you skip ones if you can't figure it out. It's nice to play when you have a few moments here and there..Version: 1.0.68

Totally Brilliant & Exceptionally BeautifulEvery adult & every child that has a device to obtain this game should be made to play it, as it teaches mindfulness & patience - something that is sadly lacking in today's "fast paced" World - a zillion congratulations to all the team of Creators - it should become part of each & every School's Curriculum world-wide - thank you for the opportunity to review your creation - words actually don't do this superb game justice ❤️❤️❤️.Version: 1.0.60

PeacefulI have had this game in my wish list for a while and I finally decided to download it. I couldn't be happier. I have only played it for about 5 minutes but I absolutely love it. I am by no means a "gamer" and I don't play a lot of games on my phone but I do like to have some in standby while I'm waiting or on a plane or whatnot. This game is peaceful and relaxing. There are no time limits or things to beat. Just grow your tree and prune it so it reaches the sun. The music is just perfect and Zen. Need I say more. If you're into peaceful, relaxed type games....this is it..Version: 1.0.68

BeautifulCheers!.Version: 1.0.32

StunningLike speed bonsai growing. Interesting, great audio and graphics..Version: 1.0.32

Beautiful and challengingPrune is basically perfect and perfectly simple. You simply prune trees to make them grow. But this beautifully designed game is much more challenging than that. Creativity, quick thinking, and skill are required to navigate around obstacles and reach goals. It is extremely satisfying and the levels are still fun to replay because there are multiple ways to accomplish goals and the resulting tree will always be unique. No ads!! Not even a beg for reviews! One of the best games I've played in a while..Version: 1.1.3

Simply BeautifulThe color scheme of the art goes well with game play to create a satisfying activity. The colors contrast each other in a graceful way making it appealing to the eye. Gameplay itself is simple yet hooks your attention almost immediately. I'd recommend this game to anyone who likes art or wants a fun app in airplane mode..Version: 1.0.68

WowWhat a clever game didn’t think I would like it but how wrong was I. Lovely game. It’s different than the run of the mill type games. Well done dev..Version: 1.1.3

Sister SueHave been playing this app for a month and loving it. Suddenly I reached the climax wow!! Sadness. It's all finished. But no. There's more. Beautiful app. Thank you..Version: 1.0.68

Fun Concept Well ExecutedGreat game. It was fun figuring out how each type of tree grew and how to manipulate them. My only issue I have is I played through it in a day, so maybe more levels? Also what are those white trees that grow off to the side out of sight in some levels? They disappear if you try to cut any of their branches..Version: 1.0.68

More an art experience than a game - beautiful!If you buy this purely as a game you will probably enjoy the logic of it for a little while, then get bored. However... The point of this app is it's utterly beautiful simplicity. From it's deliberately minimalist instructions that encourage you to explore a stunningly stylish interface to the background sounds this is a piece of art. In a world focused so often on the destination Prune provides an opportunity, for a while, just to enjoy the experience of taking part in a journey. I found Prune quite spiritual with its tough but encouraging message about the effects (positive and negative) of our interactions with nature. Throughout the story the landscape changes as human activity affects the world, making it harder for life to thrive. However, a key point of Prune is that we have the power to help that life in its search for the light it needs. Its not an app I use every day or every week but I'm glad I have it and every so often enjoy rediscovering its uniqueness. I love it..Version: 1.0.68

BeautifulA really well made, beautiful game. My favourite iOS game so far..Version: 1.0.60

Art & Charm Goes a Long WayThough the game seldom offers a taxing challenge, it's slow paced artistic puzzles are equal parts relentlessly captivating and heart-warmingly endearing. Optional herbal accessory kit recommended: sold separately. Unfortunately the game is a bit on the short side for a game I payed however-much-it-was-I-payed-for-it for, and it never quit explores all the possibilities that the level structure could offer with further expansion. Expressive, obsessive and progressive. Neither repressive nor depressive, and above all impressive!.Version: 1.0.1

Great game, lacking in length.I saw this on sale for 99¢ and figured I'd give it a shot. Beautiful visuals, relaxing music and a very addictive premise. My only complaint is the length of the game. I was able to complete it all in a single day. I'm hoping for some update to add more content. Maybe even a free play mode where you can just grow and prune trees without obstacles. All in all, worth the buck I spent..Version: 1.0.68

AmazingGreat game levels were challenging but could be finished with a few attempts. There needs to be a lot more levels in next update, like a continued story line or something other then that's it's splendid !.Version: 1.0.1

Prune is Amazing!!Anyone looking for a great game needs to get Prune today! This game captures your attention for hours and has a stunning design. I feel as if I couldn’t put Prune down once I began to play it! I also feel as if Prune has opened my eyes to the effects of industrialization on the surrounding environment, from overcoming Prune’s life ruining challenges and the beauty of avoiding such challenges to succeed in sustaining life..Version: 1.1.3

OkishI think this is the sort of app where if you're showing an old person some technology, you'd show them this because it's simple and boring but in a nice way,.Version: 1.0.1

Ending?I bought this game yesterday and I have already beat it? This game would have 5 stars if you make it longer! I'm going on Holliday tomorrow and wanted to play it on the 8 hour journey but I finished it :/ apart from that good game 😀 just add more levels 😕.Version: 1.0.21

AllegoricalThis app is more than a mere game… it’s a parallel of life. Nov 2015 thru January 2020 is like when toxic growth happens —ends in death of the whole tree. From March 2020 onward, keeping toxic people in ones life brings without pruning them off also brings, stunted growth, destruction & death of the whole tree. ~September 6, 2021..Version: 1.1.3

GREATThis was a great game, awesome, really worth the money! Just wish there were more levels....Version: 1.0.51

I really enjoyed playing this gameNice and pretty calm game. Not too intense but addictive. Beautiful but grim and dark at the same time. Worth the money because I completed it..Version: 1.0.60

Symbolic?I found this to be a beautifully designed game. Not just the minimalist graphics and dramatic score, but it also seemed symbolic to me. Maybe I'm reading too much into a game, but it seemed like you're being taught life lessons like you must shed old beliefs to grow (pruning), you'll be drawn to toxic people but if you let them in, they'll destroy you (the red circle), some people need coaxing to grow, couples should grow together... Again, probably reading too much into it. As for game play, it starts out easy and gets more challenging as you maneuver obstacles and try to figure out how to keep your tree going. Recommended for those wanting a slower paced game..Version: 1.0.68

Beautiful and AtmosphericIf you're looking for an action-packed game, then Prune certainly isn't for you. If you're looking for well thought out gameplay, beautiful aesthetics and a bit of a challenge, then I'd say Prune is perfect for you. Very similar to games like Osmos and Eufloria, perfect for casual gamers who appreciate unique game mechanics..Version: 1.0.21

Very relaxing.Very relaxing especially on the train. It's a cool app to use when you are stressed out. Or feel the need to be in control. The only thing is that it's a bit short. But you can reset and start all over again. Hope more content is added..Version: 1.0.68

Needs more levels!! Finished too fastTitle.Version: 1.1.3

Great gameThis is a great game I find it very nice to watch and play, it's very relaxing and claiming, but I finished it in about 2 hours it needs more levels and challenges. But still awesome game😄👍🏻.Version: 1.0.1

Loved itBeautiful game well done.Version: 1.0.60

The timed levels ruin the meditative aspectI love this app. It's beautifully designed, and generally a pleasure to play. I initially found it very relaxing, but the levels at which the plant burns, introducing a time constraint ruin that aspect. Other levels are challenging without being rushed, which is much more in keeping with the pleasure of the game..Version: 1.1.2

Love the game but its laggingSo I used to play this game on, I think, iphone 7 that my friend had. I got the game few days ago and i loved it but i dont really know why but the frame rate is really low as if im playing w an iphone 5. I dont think its my phone bexause i play many other games which require high graphics but arent as slow as this (i use an iphone X).Version: 1.1.3

A mesmerizing, beautiful gameThis is the most beautiful game I have ever seen. Elegant, haunting, mesmerizing, stylish and addictive. It’s amazing how a simple and beautiful design, with such a smooth user interface, can create such an amazing experience. While the game is simple, it feels like it echoes life on such a deeper level. Play this game and you will understand, and you’ll admire what’s been created here. It’s short and simple, but very rewarding..Version: 1.1.3

Beautiful, Playable, IntuitiveI've never loved a game so much that I reviewed it. But Prune is truly such a wonderful indirect story of care and threat to the beauty of the earth, and it's also extremely playable. It never becomes annoyingly puzzling, but the challenges are animated and scored in a way that makes you want to continue. It honestly makes me want to go prune my bonsai tree, but that will still take years to grow large..Version: 1.0.68

BeautifulI love the music and the game is lovely..Version: 1.0.32

SublimeThis game is a beautiful, self-contained meditation on the resilience of nature. I can't remember the last time I played a game on my phone which was this sedate and intensely satisfying. I imagine it would be even better on iPad. Really, a work of art. If you like thoughtful, self-directed experiences, it's worth the price for something this well crafted..Version: 1.0.1

Super zenToo short game but very beautiful and fun!.Version: 1.0.61

Oh, and in case you didn't know - this game/experience deserves the hypeOne 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.Version: 1.0.68

Don't be fooled - this is not about the gameplay.It's probably best to approach this app as an exercise in casual relaxation, rather than a game. I made the mistake of investing too heavily in the gameplay itself - it is easy to be taken in by how clever and unique the concept is, which leads you to believe that the gameplay is central to the experience. It is not. Prune is about beauty and atmosphere, and not really about challenging puzzles. In that respect, it belongs in the same boat as Monument Valley. I gave Monument Valley five stars, but Prune only gets four. That might not seem fair, but I found that the graphics, soundscape, and gameplay work together better in Monument Valley than they do in Prune..Version: 1.0.68

Looks lovely butBeautiful graphics and the way the trees grow is enchanting. But the game is short and the difficulty jumps too far between some levels. There's room for lots more levels between the one's that are here..Version: 1.0.21

Totally worth my $$I'm an artist so i'm really picky about the art in my games. i loved the minimalist design of the game and the simple colors and beautiful animations. the music was something i could totally zen out to. its really pleasing and you almost don't realize it's there. it's completely unintrusive and really enhances the gameplay. i agree with the other users who said that the game was symbolic. it's strangely moving and almost emotional growing your own tree and keeping it safe from harm. and you get this odd sense of pride when you've "raised it right" and it flowers. i recommend this game to anyone and it's worth whatever you're about to pay for it..Version: 1.0.68

Rewarding, relaxing, & irrationally meaningful.Prune isn't really a game, since there's nothing to win or lose but its central metaphor: nurturing a living thing can lead to a sense of hope. Strategic trimming in the right place at the right time permits the tree to reach the light and bloom. Prune's designers must be real world gardeners: they've implemented selective trimming techniques that encourage new growth and it's blossoms; they know the difference b/n a saw, scissors, and consequences of both..Version: 1.0.68

Wow.I NEVER write reviews for apps, but this game is something special. The visuals, the music, everything about this game is amazing. I’m not sure if ‘spoilers’ are a thing in a metaphor-based story such as Prune’s, but just in case, I’ll just say that the ending is so deeply emotional considering this is a game about TRIMMING TREES. Anyway, great game, 100% worth it..Version: 1.1.2

PruneLove it, love it, love it! Hope a follow up or more levels come soon. I've replayed it a few times, it's mesmerising, You get more into it, it's more than completing levels, it's ART. I would love a "sandpit" too..Version: 1.0.61

BeautifulThis game is absolutely INCREDIBLE! It's so nice to have a calm peaceful game that reminds you simplicity can be astounding beauty. Everything from the music to the effects to the fun is brilliant and I love it! BEST APP I EVER GOT!!!!!!!!!!.Version: 1.0.1

I'd pay for it again!Wow. What an incredible experience! It's nothing how I expected it to be, and I was MORE than pleasantly surprised. At the credits, when I realized what had happen, I was definitely crying. If I could, I'd wipe my memory, pay for it again, and experience it all over again. Maybe this has impacted me so much due to my personal problems and situation. For the average person, STILL highly recommend. Thank you for the lovely game<3.Version: 1.0.68

Just a beautiful idea, beautifully executedThis game is like a fun meditation. I love it..Version: 1.1.3

Amazing game. Want more.Great game, worth the expense. I loved the whole thing! But I finished it within a day. Please add more levels and challenges to make it longer lasting!!!.Version: 1.0.62

Unique & SatisfyingThese poor trees end up in some challenging situations! With melancholy music in the background, I guide them towards the light where they bloom and chime in gratitude. The art is beautiful and the puzzles are intriguing. It’s also an interactive reminder that when planted in adversity, often the key to growth is to cut off what’s holding you back..Version: 1.1.3

Fruit ninja vs world of gooGreat mix of game mechanics! Great to play but not to difficult..Version: 1.0.68

Blue flowersThe challenge and tranquility of the blue flowers are the best thing I have ever experienced in my life. I have never written a review before but I cannot leave without writing my praises..Version: 1.1.1

Amazing, ambient puzzles.Looking forward to watching this game grow. #SeeWhatIDidThere.Version: 1.0.1

Almost Perfect!This game is great! The music is beautiful and calming. The art style is mesmerising. All I ask is for some sort of level creator/sandbox mode and even more levels because there is just not enough of the game! Love the game and I will give it five stars if the creators add the things I mentioned..Version: 1.0.60

Proof That Games Are ArtAll 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..Version: 1.1.2

Fantastic game!This masterpiece is a balance between elegance and challenge, without being frustrating. I’m not a fan of games that are just challenging for the sake of being challenging. It’s hard to put down really because it takes you on a journey. Excellent!.Version: 1.1.3

Pretty and kinda pricey..Nice, but needs more content..Version: 1.0.21

Don't think it's boring - it's notQuite a marvellous game. Sometimes games like this come along and people say things like very relaxing and its "zen". Well it's fast paced to prune the right place and it just gets more interesting. Played for around 2 hours and on level III and loving it! Good choice editor!.Version: 1.0.1

Subtle and peacefulExcellent..Version: 1.0.68

Awesome Prune!!When are we getting Prune II? This is such s lovely "game" experience- it's clever and relaxing - and worth every bit of the small cost!!.Version: 1.0.51

Beautiful and HauntingThe Music, the design, everything about this game was so amazing that I can't stop thinking about it. I also see a meaning in it: as I progressed, the game got more difficult but also, the themes became more industrialized and the trees became further down underground; it became more difficult for them to reach the light and people probably forgot about nature. In the last level, everything was shaking and the world was overtaken with red (nuclear holocaust of the human race?) and then everything was dead. And there was a tree, showing that life still continues. I found it to be an incredibly strong metaphor that induced such a strong emotional, mental, and even spiritual reaction from me..Version: 1.0.68

Calmest Game EverThis is what I play when I'm trying not to stab someone. Very soothing..Version: 1.0.60

Loved it!!Very relaxed sort of game; basically a low-stress puzzle game, using the blossoming of trees and the appearance of stars (an automatic effect which lets you know how close to success you are) to measure your success, and (in later levels) effect changes to the environment. Too short though (well, what I mean is, I didn't want it to end). Hopefully more levels are in the works? I felt it was slightly too fast paced to really enjoy the zen of trimming the trees though, and would appreciate a freeform bonus level, where it's just you and the trees, and empty space (and some environmental effects) to trim at your leisure. And slower, so you can really think about what you want the end product to look like..Version: 1.0.64

I love trees!I love trees being a farm girl and this app grabbed me straight away. I stumbled onto it and it's the best stumble I've ever taken... Relaxing, meditative, I love reshaping the branches to avoid obstacles. I love seems by how many blossoms I can create. This is truly a beautiful simple app that u can't put down! Are there more levels coming? I hope so!.Version: 1.0.68
