Tree Surgeon

Game cover: Tree Surgeon

Description

Tree Surgeon is an action platformer and arborist simulator. In this game you (the tree surgeon) are tasked with cutting tree limbs and roots before they grow into nearby objects and structures, such as power lines, homes, a pool or even a subway. The saw will cut limbs from the tree. Swapping the saw for the shovel near the base of the tree will allow you to dig into the ground and cut roots.

While pruning the tree you will have to avoid obstacles such as bee-hives, rats, tree snakes, and bird nests, often having to wait for opportunities to pass when they aren't active. After you have pruned enough limbs to fill your truck (the quantity of limbs required changes with the difficulty level), you must traverse a level filled with snakes, rats and other obstacles to get to the dump-site for the limbs. The sky will get visibly darker as time passes, and acts as a timer for the levels. After dumping limbs, you will go back to the tree level, this time later in the day.

There is a visible day-night cycle and dynamic limb\root growing elements.
