This is a really interesting concept. I always thought that bonsai trees are cool. Maybe you could improve the UI a bit and I think the "leaf a hole in the middle" part isn't working as it always said that I did good even though there were a lot of leaves in the middle. But I really enjoyed playing this.
Love the concept !
I really liked it, a good execution on the theme. Maybe this was intentional, but I found it hard to build a mental model of what pressing the grow key was going to do, or why long branches were dying off. Also, the objectives were way too easy. I felt like the core mechanic was solid, but you failed to build it fully into a game.
I love this idea. It's very fun to cut & see the tree evolve. Congratulations for this concept !

BIG BIG LIKE for the artwork!
The game was pretty good. It's not necessarily my cup of tea, but I can tell, for what it is, that a lot of nice work was put into this, so many kudos to you for your effort!
really fun idea. I think you could make it easier \ simpler, and also refine the gameplay a bit. But the game seems to work very well already. 5 stars ;)
I really like the concept, but the execution feels a bit too unstable. The challenges are often already 'ok' when they start, and the growth feels too uncontrolled.
Improvement: Less dense branches and leaves, so you can really accurately prune?
I had trouble understand what was happening as I seemed to accomplish lots of achivements after just growing it a bit. But overall, very nice game! The idea is really nice. Perhaps it should be a little less dense so you can easier prune. Good job :)
Innovating idea
Absolutely fascinating mechanics, love it.
Great implementation of the theme.
Nice concept. Little hard to understand what was going on at first. Great grahics. Good job!!
