What is Heliotropism?

A 2D strategy simulation where you grow a tree across survival runs, aiming to reach the fourth year and bear fruit. You spend energy to place tree parts, manage resources through changing seasons, and collect mutations that alter your growth strategy while preparing for winters and crises such as forest fires.

What players say

90% of 77 reviews are positive

Players praise the tree-growing concept and humorous narration, though some find the commentary repetitive. Some also say random mutations matter more than strategic choices. A player reports crashes when buying a random mutation or opening the collection.
