I got a chance to test out my game some more on two phones and a few Android virtual machines.  Because of the nature of this game (The tree “grows” even when you are not playing) it takes a few days to test it out fully.  This was the reason for the number of bugs in the game before.

All that aside, I think it is a pretty fun game, and based on the emails I received after it was removed from the market, there seems to be a sort of a following for it.

To download, scan the above bar code above or search the market for ‘Green Tree’.

Thanks, everyone, for the support, and let me know if you have any issues or feature requests for me.

I feel I’ve utilized my time off well.  The job hunt will soon begin, so I had better do as much as possible while I can.  One of the things I hope to finish is my Android game I’m making.  I’ll probably be posting a beta of it on here very soon!

It isn’t named yet but the basic idea is a virtual tree. The player must care for it by watering (but not over watering) it periodically.  There will also be obstacles that arise randomly such as storms that run the risk of drowning your plant, and bug swarms that eat away at your tree.  While the program does not actually run in the background, it is updated every time you open it as if it never stopped.  This way a user can play off and on for a prolonged period of time.  I hope to have it last from two weeks to a month or so (maybe even indefinitely).

The payoff: fruit that will give the player resources to buy tools and supplies to further the tree’s growth.
