The game is incredibly relaxing and provides a fun distraction while working or playing other games.
It features charming graphics and allows for customization of the tree, making it a unique desktop experience.
Players appreciate the nostalgic feel of the game, reminiscent of classic desktop applications from the 90s.

The game can reset the tree if the computer is restarted, which frustrates players who invest time in growing it.
Some users find the real-time growth mechanics limiting, as the tree only grows when the game is active.
There are minor technical issues, such as sync problems and the requirement to use specific Windows settings.
