    I wanted to like this game. I truly did.
    After watching the trailer it was an immediate buy.
    The gameplay itself is... ok and is innovative that's why I will not give a completely negative score. It is something new and it is relaxing, but it's not fantastic and gets boring after a while. The thing that put me off completely is the feeling of deja-vu i get when playing this game.

    I can't even say the author was inspired by Monument Valley - he blatantly copied the whole style of it!
    To a point where some sounds feel like they've been taken straight from the other game.

    I absolutely love Monument Valley and I agree the style is fantastic, but at the same time I despise taking advantage of other people's work.
    There is a difference between inspiration and cloning and here the line has been crossed by far. It really is a shame that no critic ever mentioned that :(    … Expand

    What an amazing and beautiful game!!!! It's like Journey, or Flower ported to Ios. With the same message kept intact. The entire game basically consists of just pruning bonsai type trees and avoiding obstacles but it clearly has a much deeper message that it is trying to get across. Trees are awesome!

    Beautiful game, simple and easy to understand concept. You have to understand the simple idea that a tree grows taller if you cut the unneeded branches. My only complain is that the game can be finished in a day without a big difficulty. So, with new levels and more difficulties would be a 10/10 game

    Trying to control outgrowths and create a perfect tree in Prune is a little challenging and somewhat satisfying, but mostly just a novel experience.

    Prune is a serene experience that provides an incredible feeling of peace to the player. Although the game doesn't have a long duration, every second of it is fully enjoyable.

    This beautiful puzzle game is remarkable because it's special in all the ways that a lot of other games typically aren't.
