Minimalist Forest Simulator PolyPine Ported to Smartphones

PolyPine is also available on Steam, where it holds a 94% positive rating.

Following a successful PC launch in March 2025, Cloudberry Pine’s ecosystem simulator PolyPine has arrived on mobile platforms. This cozy forest simulator lets you cultivate a living ecosystem and watch how plants, fungi, and animals interact within a single, interdependent natural cycle.

Players begin with only a few seeds and observe them progress through every life stage — from sprout to fallen log. Each phase contributes to the ecosystem’s balance, creating habitats for new plant species, insects, and wildlife.

But the player isn’t limited to passive observation: you can actively shape the terrain, sculpting hills, ponds, and marshes and populating them with life. Nature is unpredictable, however — storms, fires, and pest outbreaks can threaten your system, and you’ll need to adapt to those challenges.

The game features 42 animal species and 35 plant species, and each session unfolds differently depending on the player’s choices and natural events.

PolyPine first launched on Steam on March 31, 2025, and is now available on Google Play and the App Store. The first three campaign levels are free to play; the full game is unlocked via a one-time in-app purchase. There are no ads or additional microtransactions.
