Fabulously Phenomenal.
I love it I love it I love it so much I don’t write reviews often but this game is sooooooo fabulously phenomenal that it’s impossible not to spread the word of it’s absolutely amazing everything. Just get it. You won’t regret it. And the game needs more levels by the way that’s the only thing I don’t like.

I Don’t Normally Write Reviews
…but this game is good enough to make me write one. Incredible emotional storytelling through deceptively simple and addictive gameplay. It’s a game where you grow trees, pruning them to make them expand in size, until they bloom when they hit the sunlight. That’s it.
But how the game allows YOU to naturally figure out the mechanics and puzzle-solving is simply magical and immersive for a minimalistic puzzle game. You learn what to do with scarce instructions, but exploring the mechanics and understanding the game’s language is part of the enjoyment. For example, there’s an obstacle in the game that’s literally just a…giant red circle. But how the game presents it as a threat, as ominous, foreboding, is effective; even the plaintive, soothing music changes to an eerie track that elicits utter panic when your trees interact with it. It becomes even more terrifying once you become immersed and see what it does to your beautiful tree. :(
The pruning aspect is the key function of the gameplay, and mastering it is simple, yet tricky. It involves timing, strategy, and forethought. You will spend the game swiping, watching the results, then swiping again. Like pruning in real life, it takes patience. But the dopamine that hits you when you reach the sunlight after all the manicured growth is great.
After playing for awhile, you begin to realize that the game is telling you about how to find the light even when you’re cast in dark places. About removing parts of you that are holding you back, preventing YOUR growth…and how to avoid giant evil red orbs. Just see for yourself, it’s unlike any other phone game I’ve played. (Which admittedly, is not many)

Short post apocalyptic puzzle game where in the latter half trees work together to find light.
The early game isn’t that interesting but the other 4 chapters are great
Wow
I have played this all the way through 3 times now. I have never done that with any mobile game. I have dreams about this beautiful app. I want to prune every tree I see in the wild. I’m obsessed. I want more!
Gg
The simplest games have the best stories
A sad, sad game.
I don’t get this game. It’s trying too hard to be all meditative. Don’t.
So calm
Im only on the 3rd world and the game is just so soothing listening to the flowers come up and i actually feel scared when it hits the red circle lol
Another old app
Apple Arcade you’ve done it again. Bravo. Given us a 3 star rated game which hasn’t been updated in six months.
Come on! There are thousands of fantastic creators out there who make games worth playing. Give us long term content such as RPG games or point and click and ovx all the diff puzzle games etc. give us a varieth pls.
PS Prune Deva this isn’t your fault. I’ve posted this comment as I’ve know way of letting them know. Take care now

Different & Amazing!
I’m usually into really hard/fast word games, or fast and/or complex legit puzzle games… I can’t remember how this game came across my search, but the aesthetic and mysterious look of it is what grabbed me and had me download it. Boy, this game didn’t disappoint!
It’s a bit different and it took me a little getting used to, but I absolutely LOVE this game! The cherry on top is that you get a great screenshot of your bloom at the end of each level, if you choose to take one. I’ve used a couple as my iPad wallpaper bc it has an abstract look with neutral colors with simplicity to boot!
If you’re looking for something fun, relaxing and unique/different, I recommend downloading this game and giving it a shot! 🩶

calming but gives no direction
i am not good at games would be nice with some type of tutorial because im a couple rounds in and still completely unsure of what my objective is or how to complete that objective. also the loading screen took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to get into the game
What
Really.
Prune + is not a fast play
Reviews that complain about limited or fast play don’t get it.
There is many opportunities to take a deep dive in to levels that players have completed superficially.
Great game play and great utilization of the Apple Pencil

Goofy ahh
Love this game the story is long and silent but is loud it’s strong and I hope you get to make a part 2 of that game to all of those people who hate to see the game end like I said I love the game the story
Fantastic
Great game! My only complaint is that I was so addicted to it that I beat all the levels already!!! Gimme more!!!!!
Sadistic and Not Zen
Basically you prune/deform/twist trees into unnatural poses by decapitating most of the limbs…talk about ‘kill your darlings’! This is a disturbing game, beware.
Relaxing at first...
A super chill pruning game at first, but with the introduction of saw blades and lava, that's when I realized my casual pruning abilities wouldn't be enough. The later levels required a lot more skill and trial and error. I loved the game, I just wish I hasn't beaten it so soon. I'll have to replay levels, apparently there are bonus challenges I haven't attempted yet. I loved the sounds of the winds, they were #fire, or is it #wind??

Wish I read the reviews first
I 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.

Boring as can be
If 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.
Loved it
awesome
