5 Prune
Recipient of multiple, prestigious awards including TIME Magazine’s ‘Game of The Year’, 2015, and Apple’s ‘Best of the App Store’, 2016, Prune offers its players a unique, balanced mix of challenge, intrigue, and ease of gameplay.
With the mere swipe of a finger, you’ll plant a seed and watch it grow into a flourishing tree — but your job, err, challenge, is to swipe away (prune) its loose branches so as to help the tree avoid being damaged by all the “hostile elements” encroaching upon its path to fruition.
Prune is essentially an ode’ to trees, its developers say: “A game about the beauty and joy of cultivation.” So if you’re a fan of non-competitive, slow-paced strategy games, as well as the beauty of nature and life, then Prune is certain to offer you hours of challenging, soothing, yet methodically rewarding gameplay.
