About Bonsai

✦ AI summary

Grow and shape your own unique bonsai tree from seed to maturity, with complete freedom to prune aggressively or nurture gently and watch your creative vision flourish. Each procedurally generated tree responds differently to your care, ensuring no two playthroughs are ever the same as you cultivate an unlimited forest of one-of-a-kind tree-friends.

Bonsai is a game about curiosity and life. Grow your tree, prune it, and watch over it as it matures into adulthood. The tree will become what you train it to be - you are the mastermind behind it’s path in life.

Each tree is unique and procedurally generated to be as authentic and realistic as possible. Grow an unlimited number of tree-friends using different strategies and masterfully sculpt their shapes. Be aggressive and hack your tree down or gently guide it each step of the way, how you tend to your tree is up to you. Since every tree and every species is unique, each play through will be different from the last!

I dont understand the “hate” this small indie title has gotten. I bought this years ago, I have played it multiple times now and never did I feel disappointed or misled in any way. This game is exactly what it looks like. You plant this tree that grows over time and how you trim and care for it will alter its shape and “appearance”. It is a really relaxing game that I always “played” on the side while playing another game on my main monitor. Like comp in CS or Baal rushes in D2. It works really well as that game you can just switch to while waiting in another game. This is also dirt cheap, it costs a dollar and there is at least a few hours of fun here, even if you only play it once. I cant see any reason not to recommend this. ————————————————————————————— [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45534557/]Help me out by following my Curator, I’d really appreciate it!![/url]

This is a nice idea for a game because you're tasked with growing a tree from a sapling and carefully pruning the branches to encourage it to grow in a very specific way, literally just the art of bonsai. That said, while the idea is nice this game is incredibly unstable. Once your tree starts to really grow in size the game starts to chug big time. Even setting the game at a max FPS of 10 (that's the only video setting) doesn't help the fact that this game is put together really inefficiently. It's a massive resource hog and while I don't have a super duper top of the line gaming PC this game came out in 2016 and the parts in my tower are only a few years old yet this thing was making my fans scream and GPU get real hot for some reason. It also crashes. Constantly. All the time, to the point where you'll find yourself clicking back to the menu to save your progress before you prune any branches because you never know if the one you click on will be the one that overloads this already beleaguered program. Like I said it's almost good, but even for a dollar this thing just runs so poorly and crashes so often that it's not fun to play.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
