Family Puzzle Game - Three Trees - Available on the Apple App Store Now

April 1, 2011 - PRLog -- Los Angeles, CA - Studio Pepwuper (pronounced Pep-Wu-Per) releases "Three Trees", an environmental puzzle game for the whole family, today on the Apple App Store for $0.99.

In "Three Trees", players need to balance the three forces of nature, Water, Air, and the Sun, by swiping them across the screen. The elements counter each other out, so the goal is to keep them in equilibrium!

How it Works:
- Water (rain) helps the trees to grow and gets rid of dry land. But let it rain too much and the player will have excess water on the land.
- Sun reduces this excess water on the land, but too much of it will create excess dust.
- Air (wind) reduces the growth of trees, makes the land cracked and dry, but it also blows away the excess dust.

In addition:
- Items will fall randomly as the player increases the score. Tapping on the items will help to restore the earth's balance.
- Too much water, dust, or dry land will be the end of the game.
- As the player balances the elements, the score will increase! How long can the player keep the trees free from disaster?

"Three Trees", started as a prototype named "Water, Air, Sun", was developed in 11 hours in the 360iDev GameJam http://gamejam.360idev.com/water-air-sun/. The theme of the GameJam was "Change the World", so developer Brandon Wu created a prototype where players need to balance the three forces of nature, Water, Air, and the Sun, that shape the lands and change the world.

After positive feedback and many requests to turn the prototype into a full game, Brandon Wu assembled a small team of three to develop this game, which includes the following features:
- Easy tap and swipe control
- 3 world changing and conflicting forces to balance
- 3 trees for the players to grow
- Items to help the player remove excess elements on the land
- Soothing music that fits the mood
