Description

Prune is a love letter to trees. A game about the beauty and joy of cultivation.

With a swipe of a finger, grow and shape your tree into the sunlight while avoiding the dangers of a hostile world. Bring life to a forgotten landscape, and uncover a story hidden deep beneath the soil.

• A unique digital plant for your pocket
• Beautiful, minimalist art and a super clean interface—it's just you and the trees
• Meditative music and sound design for you to zen out to
• No filler - 48 carefully chosen levels
• No IAP, no monetization strategy, no currencies
• Share screenshots of your unique tree creations with friends

Originally based on an experimental tree generation script, Joel McDonald carefully crafted Prune to perfection over the course of a year. Kyle Preston joined in to add his unique musical signature and sound effects.

v1.1.7

I love this game, I've almost completed it, but God damn the bugs. I'll be using the black magnet to move singler branches around to get blue flowers and all of a sudden the whole tree goes into the wall 🫠 I've raged quit who knows how many times...

v1.1.7

the idea behind this is great but the controls are really imprecise. i imagine it might be better on a tablet instead of a phone, and using a stylus. but without that, i found myself frustrated quite often unfortunately.
