About the game

Bonsai Trim gives you a sapling in a pot and a dotted silhouette, like a round crown, a pine, a cloud or a heart. The tree grows on its own, splitting into branches and pushing out leaves, and the season ends after a set time. Swipe across a branch to snip it, and everything past the cut falls away. The trunk and main limbs are too thick for your shears.

The twist is that trees fight back. A cut point sprouts two fresh buds a few seconds later, so a branch you trimmed early may wander out of the shape again. Cutting deeper keeps it in check longer but loses leaves you might need. A live meter shows how well the leaves fill the shape and how much spills outside. Twelve levels, three stars each.
