Money Tree is a creative click management game for the PC. Money Tree is developed by ITT Territory Nord and will be published by MumboJumbo in the latter half of May.
Money Tree throws you into the shoes of William the Gardner. You have the hots for Elizabeth, the daughter of your boss. William finds out he has been left a house by his dead uncle. The house needs some work William decides to do what he knows best, gardening. William needs to raise the money to fix the house and impress Elizabeth.
William has to make money growing fruit. The player starts out with a bare tree and needs to put leaves on the tree. The leaves are falling from the sky and you click on them and place them on the tree. The more leaves that are put on the tree the bigger the tree gets. After the tree is big enough, the tree starts to flower and bear fruit. The fruit start out small and get bigger. Players need to pick the fruit at the optimal time to make the most amount of money. The best time to pick the fruit is right before it falls off the tree or as it is falling off the tree. If the fruit hits the ground you will get the least amount of money.
Leaves are not the only thing falling from the sky. At times, money will fall from the sky. Players grab the money just like a leaf and place it on the tree. The tree will grown bundles of money from the money leaf. One money leaf only yields two bundles of money, but who can argue with growing money. The money helps players reach their goal. Each level requires players to reach a certain amount of money before the level is complete. On top of the money goal, there is a time limit to get the allotted amount of money.
Of course, there is more to do than just grab leaves and grow fruit. The weather is different from scenario to scenario, which requires you to keep the water level and temperature levels correct. Players can buy items to make their job easier, such as sprinklers, bug spray and heating lamps. The items you buy are present through out each scenario and they can stack. In other words, you can buy a sprinkler and a heating lamp and they will both be available to you. Players have to manage the weather and the fruit trees and as the levels progress there are more fruit trees thrown into the mix, which means more items for the player to manage.
Money Tree is an extremely fun game to play. Not to mention, Money Tree is very different from other click management games. You have to juggle between multiple items at once, but in this game you actually get to grow money. Money tree is a great game that any casual gamer will enjoy.
