Prune is an artistic game about cultivating trees in a hostile world. You plant a seed in the ground, choose the direction of its growth, and the tree starts growing. You must cut certain branches away to let other parts of the tree grow larger. The goal is to have the branches reach a given level’s field of sunlight so that a certain number of flowers can grow along the branches and fill your quota. Along the way, you must deal with obstacles such as wind. eclipses, and suns that will either accelerate or corrupt your tree’s growth. The more complicated stages will have you growing massive, twisted trees that seem to defy nature. Available on iOS.
It’s the perfect game to pass the time in stressful situations, or to calm yourself down. If you make the wrong cut it doesn’t really matter; just grow another tree and begin again. The act of pruning your tree and shaping it correctly is calming, and the levels slowly introduce new ideas and challenges as you master the game.
It’s a great way to spend four dollars, and the central idea of the game is important: You have to focus your attention on what’s important and cut away the rest. You can only do so much, and growing in certain areas, or too many, can actually be a detriment. This is one of those rare games that costs a single price, takes full advantage of its platform and feels completely harmonious.
