Description

*** TIME Magazine's Game of the Year 2015 ***


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.


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.

    Great in every way! by Aaron

    I really liked this game. It's simple and beautiful and challenging and entertaining. And the best part is that a purchase gets you the game on both your windows 10 mobile device and your windows 10 pc AND your progress syncs between both. It's seriously the way every game ought to work.

    This is one of my favorite games. I haven't seen anything so calming yet challenging in a long time.

    Fun and Sometimes a Challenge in Upper Levels by Holly

    At first it seems to be too easy, but that is the introduction one might say...no instructions throughout game, but it really is self explanatory. The graphics had to have been fun to create, but I noticed some of them did not seem to be complete, such as when a branch was cut off, there would be remnants of what used to be. Otherwise, all is good. I found the music to be both relaxing and stimulating. I wish the game lasted longer, and that certain upper levels did not last so long. I have a lot of ideas for this game since I am a designer in virtual worlds, and am a digital and freehand artist. I can see where this game would have been fun to design, and would love to see this company do more like this one. Thank you for creating Prune, for it is both relaxing and stimulating. Big smile. :)

    Amazing! by Matt

    I don't feel entitled to write a proper review for this game because . . . it won't even start for me, which really sucks. I read all the msn articles saying it was a good game, and I was all like "Well alright I'll pay for it." One transaction later, I launch the app, just to see it sit at the opening screen forever, just me and that odd circle with the little hairs on top and the Windows loading graphic that spins and spins ad infinitum. I would love to give it a better rating, if I could actually play the game! Update: Ever since writing this review, I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I am happy to say that the game now starts and I've had a lot of fun with it. The game is absolutely stunning in visuals, although the objective is a bit vague at times. The levels are varied and gameplay is interesting all the way through. I wish I could go in-depth about everything I have to say, but there's character limit, so let me finish with this: there should be more Windows apps like this

    Simple fun by Paul

    Unique concept that's extremely creative and fun to play. Figuring out the mechanics of each level is almost as fun as completing the challenge. Enjoyed it immensely

    Wow. Amazing. by Daniel

    Visually stunning, gorgeous soundtrack, simple yet addictive gameplay that gets quite challenging as you go on. A beautiful game. Well worth the price.

    Finally a well put together game that is relaxing, intense, thoughtful, and engaging! Love It! After a while I started using the Surface Pen to prune. Even Better! Great Job!
