I always thought that bonsai trees are cool. Maybe you could improve the UI a bit and I think the &quot;leaf a hole in the middle&quot; part isn't working as it always said that I did good even though there were a lot of leaves in the middle. But I really enjoyed playing this."},{"author_name":"celisoft","author_uid":"49455","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 2:03pm","epoch":1450187880,"text":"Love the concept !"},{"author_name":"mattlevonian","author_uid":"58873","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 11:56pm","epoch":1450223460,"text":"I really liked it, a good execution on the theme. Maybe this was intentional, but I found it hard to build a mental model of what pressing the grow key was going to do, or why long branches were dying off. Also, the objectives were way too easy. I felt like the core mechanic was solid, but you failed to build it fully into a game."},{"author_name":"Skywilly","author_uid":"4255","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 8:55am","epoch":1450255800,"text":"I love this idea.

I think you could make it easier \\ simpler, and also refine the gameplay a bit.

The challenges are often already 'ok' when they start, and the growth feels too uncontrolled.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Improvement: Less dense branches and leaves, so you can really accurately prune?"},{"author_name":"Roffe","author_uid":"11934","time":"Dec 21, 2015 @ 9:55am","epoch":1450691400,"text":"I had trouble understand what was happening as I seemed to accomplish lots of achivements after just growing it a bit. But overall, very nice game! The idea is really nice. Perhaps it should be a little less dense so you can easier prune.
