I got sad when my bonsai died, I took care of it, but everything has an end, like the life of my little bonsai. I like this game!

wanted to play it on andrioid, but i am not sure if i can unzip the file

Developer(+2)

you should be able to open the zip like a normal folder and install the apk directly from inside the zip without unzipping it. at least on my device this worked.

I had to open it in file explorer, not in Google downloads tan for it to work

Very charming game! Love the aesthetic and the relaxing atmosphere!

Nice game! I would recommend to add the possibility to move the camera further from the bonsai as it can be difficult whe branches grow too much to see them.

Overall a superb game.I loved it.🥰🥰

Nice little game, good esthetics and little thing that just felt good: When starting new game and all branches flew off. Cutting was bit janky if didn't notice that new branch had started to grow, but overall nice game.

The graphics are amazing but gameplay for me (Android user) was a bit challenging. I didn't know I could rotate around the tree and doing so wasn't easy. As the tree grew bigger it got more difficult to see new branches growing to cut back. It soon became a case of just swipe repetitively until the game ended.

I like the game idea and style and it makes good use of the theme. 

Congratulations to those involved in making this unique game

Very pretty!

Great little game, and the aesthetics are fantastic! I played on Android and it ran great, even if the touch was a little less responsive than I'd have hoped. Overall, very fun and a lot of personality. (I got to Bonsamurai 😎)

beautiful looking game! I like the risk vs reward of wanting the score to go up faster without it getting away from you. Nice game! :) I played on Android and it worked great.

Awesome little game. Tried playing it on Android. It runs smoothly, but the touch is a little bit off. 

Still a very great game, and incredibly suitable for the theme.

Was the intro splash art done by your team? If so, massive kudos, it looks amazing! I also really enjoy the game concept; interesting spin on what is supposed to be a very controlled activity. Nicely done!

Hi Waterpouch, Yes the splash art was created during the Jam.
You can find it here: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/q9QQBe

Really impressive, and such a different idea for the theme. Great work.

Submitted(+3)

Probably biased because I love Japan, but well, it fun, it's original, it's well executed and it's within the theme.  Take my upvote.

What an experience! I managed to get Bonsamurai with 1328 (I think?).

Great combination of calm visuals/music and the snipping noise is so satisfying!

The cough was a nice touch.

Can't believe you made it in 2 days! so well polished!

Andi-Mode is hilarious <3 love it

Submitted(+3)

5 Stars from me in all categories. I love everything about it, even Andi-Mode :D The music cold be a bit mire fitting to the theme and if you will work on it after the jam, maybe add different kind of trees to be unlocked for replayability... but this might not fit the simplicity of the game design.
