Desktop Tree is a simulation video game developed by utStudio. As the name suggests, this game will have you grow a virtual plant on your desktop computer. However, unlike in real life, you don't have to take care of it to make it grow.

Desktop Tree is a casual game you can play between surfing, doing your task, or playing games. However, while it does not need constant attention, it offers you something to do to make it grow faster and better. Moreover, while it runs all the time, it does not take up too much of your resources. 

How do you play this game?

Desktop Tree is an idle game that lets you grow a virtual potted plant on your desktop. As mentioned, the plant does not need to be taken care of like real-life trees. It grows on its own even without watering. With this, you can have it while doing other tasks on your computer. However, you can make it grow faster by feeding it bugs that appear randomly.

More than feeding the plant with bugs, you can also trim it. You can shear unwanted branches or shape them the way you like. To cut branches, hold Ctrl and click on the branch. You can also zoom in on the plant by holding Ctrl and using the mouse wheel. Of course, you can also move the pot anywhere on your screen by clicking and dragging it.

You can get information about the plant you're growing by pressing Esc. This opens up the menu that gives you various game options. Among these is the transparent feature. However, this might not work on a classic theme or basic version of your computer's OS. It also does not work on a remote desktop. Players should also know that you can only grow one tree at a time.

Is the game good?

Overall, Desktop Tree is worth checking out if you are looking for an idle simulator. The game is easy as your only task is to grow a virtual plant. Doing so is also made simple as you don't have to take care of it like its real-life counterpart. However, there is nothing more to the game than growing your tree.
