About this game

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.

A very interesting, clever puzzle game with what may be a unique approach. On the other hand, the tutorial level doesn't mention all the controls, so I stumbled onto two-finger gestures to zoom and moved on accident. Further, the nature of levels never really going the same way twice means I get stuck on a level, but then suddenly pass it without knowing what I did differently, or exactly what action led to what outcome. It's a very clever game, but needs to make itself clearer to the player.

Prune is one of those rare games that shows how powerful simplicity can be. It’s elegant, relaxing, and surprisingly emotional for such a minimalist experience. The idea — pruning a tree to help it grow toward the light — feels symbolic and soothing, almost like creating a living piece of art. What I love most is how Prune doesn’t rush you. There’s no stress or chaos — just growth, patience, and beauty. It’s easy to play but still rewarding as you learn the best ways to guide your tree.

Super fun and sometimes challenging game! My only complaint is that there aren't more levels 😅 I loved playing it.
