Cute idea! Feels like some sort of progression added to it would be nice.

Was a little hard to aim since the scissors didn't quite line up, but a very cute concept and the art style was very nice :)

I think the idea is cute and the game is relaxing. It was kinda hard to know where to click, especially since the cursor didn't totally line up w/ the scissors

Very cute and relaxing. Unfortunately hard to know where to click / how to get the clippers to work. Great idea though!

I really like the premise here, it ends up being the opposite most of the games submitted which are very frantic (not that that's a bad thing either, just a nice change of pace). 

As some others have pointed out the pointer is misaligned and it's not super obvious which leaves need pruning. You should consider fixing those up after the jam and this would be a really nice little game!

I really like this idea and the look and music! Was hard to prune though, because my mouse pointer and the scissors were not in the same spot. Did some wild clicking to make it work lol

i don't know which one i need to prune, but the artstyle is nice.

While the idea and game are cute, there are a lot of underlying issues with the hitboxes and hit registration. I found myself stuck on multiple trees last leaf and was not able to cut it no matter what I tried. Also, the cursor is to the left of the cutters, and you have to wait for the cursor to appear and disappear to know where exactly you are cutting

Thank you for the feedback! If I could ask, was this issue with the last leaf found on the HTML version or the .exe version?

HTML version of the game

Pretty nice, kind of hard to click the leaves though gotta spam click a bit around it

Absolutely love the idea here! I like the sounds and the way the branches fall away. Unfortunatelly, I think I found a bug? Or at least it seemed that way. The cutting pliers would actually be to the right of the mouse, so while your normal cursor disappears you gotta click around in the dark hoping you get the branches, cause the pliers are off somewhere else. Also, I think once I got to the second tree, whenever I tried to get the last remaining thing, it wouldn't let me click it no matter how much I tried. I tried refreshing and it led me back to the first one, so when I fnished that and got to the second one again the same thing happened.

Thanks so much for giving it a try! Unfortunately, yes, the clicking is still a bit buggy, and I haven't been able to exactly pinpoint the cause.
