- Meditative music and sound design for you to zen out to
- No IAP, no monetization strategy, no currencies
- Share screenshots of your unique tree creations with friends
- Sync progress across all your devices using iCloud

Pocket Gamer - 10/10

Prune is an awe-inspiring work of digital poetry that transcends its initial subject material to explore a much larger, much more complex theme, in an articulate and powerfully moving manner

AppAdvice - 4.5/5

Ive only started Prune today, but Im in love with it so far. The game looks gorgeous, the music is delightful, and the controls are intuitive for the platform. While it can be a challenge, it is still a great way to de-stress since you arent pressured with time or a limited number of trees.

Verge

It's...the best mobile game I've played in quite a while...
Just like some of the earliest iPhone games, Prune is unlike anything I've played before, an original and strange game that's both soothing and absorbing. It's the kind of experience I want to pull out to show my friends instead of a game to kill a few minutes while I'm in riding the subway.

Hopefully, that'll be the end of comments on it for now, and this thread can be about the game.

Okay, I give in. Noticed this twice now and it looks too good to miss.

Yeah, I'm sure that'll be the end of it

Some early impressions from the IOS thread

Picked up Prune. Seems like it might be on short side, but it's well worth the $4 for the art style and polish. The levels do get more challenging and tricky, but don't expect SpaceChem or LYNE. More about the experience than mind-bending puzzles

Nvm, learned that Prune is longer than I had guessed (5 Chapters, around 50 levels) and it continues to introduces fun and interesting new mechanics

And totally worth restating how lovely the game looks. The menu has you spinning the planet, as the stars streak by and the ground erodes and reshapes with the passage of time. It's just gorgeous.

The fact that this got an extremely rare perfect score from PG is making me jump to buy this.

More_Badass · Jul 24, 2015

Thing I like about this is that since the gameplay is so freeform, it's really fun to replay or just sit back and enjoy the art and mechanics. Compared to other artistic games like Monument Valley and Framed, that are more one-and-done experiences

Z3M0G · Jul 24, 2015

This looks absolutely fantastic!

Saucycarpdog · Jul 25, 2015

So has anyone beaten this yet?

Well I hope it does well enough on iOS then.

May it do well!

Looks lovely. Fan of more chill games on phones, like Monument Valley or Mountain.

Saucycarpdog · Jul 26, 2015

After finishing it I can definitely say that it left an impression on me and had me thinking about the game's theme. Peter at PG might have oversold it a little bit but he wasn't wrong in giving it a perfect score. I might come back the game just for the amazing music.

So... Should I do iPad or iPhone?

Can't you buy it once and play on both anyway?
