Bonsai

Grow, prune and shape your own little tree.

About the game

Grow a living tree for months: water, feed, prune and wire it, keep its growth in balance, breed rare colours and elemental seeds, then set it on your real table in AR.

Bonsai is a calm, all-ages game about growing one tree beautifully. Every tree is simulated branch by branch: light, vigour and the seasons decide where it grows, and every cut you make changes what comes next.

Water, feed, prune, pinch and wire. Watch your tree leaf out in spring, blush in autumn and rest in winter, one garden day every fourteen hours. Your garden keeps growing while you're away, and it never punishes you for a busy week.

Breed rare hues and traits, cross-pollinate flowering cherries and earn the Fire Seed in the Autumn Lantern Festival. When you're proud of it, place it on your real table in AR, or frame it in photo mode with your own hanko seal.

Features

Why you'll love it

A tree that's really alive

Every branch is simulated: light, vigour and the seasons decide where your tree grows next.

Prune, pinch and wire

See exactly what a cut removes before you make it, then watch your tree respond.

Four species

Japanese maple, juniper, ficus and flowering cherry, whose blossom opens on bare wood each spring.

Rare genetics

Breed rare hues and traits, cross-pollinate flowering trees and earn elemental seeds like the Fire Seed.

AR and photo mode

Set your tree on your real table in augmented reality, or frame it with your own hanko seal.

Gentle by design

It grows while you're away and simply rests when the soil dries. Child mode and vacation mode included.
