I dont understand the “hate” this small indie title has gotten. I bought this years ago, I have played it multiple times now and never did I feel disappointed or misled in any way. This game is exactly what it looks like. You plant this tree that grows over time and how you trim and care for it will alter its shape and “appearance”. It is a really relaxing game that I always “played” on the side while playing another game on my main monitor. Like comp in CS or Baal rushes in D2. It works really well as that game you can just switch to while waiting in another game. This is also dirt cheap, it costs a dollar and there is at least a few hours of fun here, even if you only play it once. I cant see any reason not to recommend this. ————————————————————————————— [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45534557/]Help me out by following my Curator, I’d really appreciate it!!

Why am I here and why are you here? This is such a dumb concept for a game. But still good if you enjoy watching a tree grow and trimming it.

Essentially, all you do is click on a tree, click to grow, click to cut. Good time waster when you want something simple to play. Only hard part is patiently yet furiously clicking to get a sapling into a tree.

I named my tree dissapointment and watched it grow with every minute passing by. If you love staring at your monitor for hours listening to annoying ♥♥♥♥♥♥ music then this game is for you! But then again it's still better than Call of Duty.
