Really cool and fun game concept! I like that you can approach it in multiple ways. I found that bearing fruit closest to the stem worked better for me while leaving the long branches for leaves.
The only problem I really kept running into was that my plant would just randomly decide to "shake" until multiple branches fell off, usually resulting in me losing. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong though. I tried adding stuff slower or strengthening the branches more, but it'd just shake more violently until something gave way. Besides that though it was a solid experience!
