Pretty cool

I like all the free features but the wiring needs to be re-tooled. There’s no cursor that shows where you’re wiring or what direction it’s gonna go in. Sometimes it doesn’t work at all. I like everything but that.

The game is limited and hard

It really does not make it easy and the controls are hard

Great idea but dont work

Every tume it grows branches from the base, impossible cutting everything all the time. I was trying moyogi but impossible. And there is no turning back after done the citting. Ive spent hours trying but im giving up

Response from developer

Many thanks for you feedback. Sorry for the inconvenience caused. As far as I understand - your tree tends growing from the thick trunk rather than from young thin branches. It is usually caused by thin branches hidden within thick trunk. Preventing them from growing algorythmically is a challenging task. And I decided to leave as is. The recipe here is to "delete" branches growing from trunk ("deleting" is a separate button) rather than "cut" them. Sometimes you will need to zoom within a thick branch and "delete" from there. Regarding cutting everything - there is a "pinch" button which makes possible to pinch the whole tree (or any part of tree). Did you try it ? Unfortunately, it was very difficult to implement turning back in this game. I decided to not include this in the interface. After all - you can not turn back after cutting a real tree :). It is strange that you had a problem with a simple moyogi. Did you see my tutorials on youtube ?

Absolutely Amazing!

Just what I've been searching for, the perfect creative bonsai experience

Response from developer

Many thanks for your feedback :)

love it..

Very good bonsai simulator which can actually teach you the art. Like it so much it has inspired me to go out and buy a real bonsai and now I’m hoping to apply the technique i’ve learned with this app in real life. After trying all the other bonsai related apps, I would say this is the best one by far.

Response from developer

Thanks a lot. It is a pleasure to prune a real bonsai and see how its shape changes. I would mention that it is difficult to cultivate some species (pines, maples) in real life. And it is very important to keep the soil wet (I am watering twice a day if the weather is hot). Enjoy the app :)
