Soul Harvester
It is a simple but hard game. What you need to know is:
- At the top, it shows time until next day.
- At the top right, it shows soul collected and soul required to pass the next day.
- Left click to shoot the scythe.
- Right click to plant the trees (use soul).
- Tree yield monsters.
- Use scythe to kill monster to get soul.
- Monster eat the tree, reduce tree yield.
- Tree get too close reduce yield.

An interesting concept if not a little simplistic, I found the controls to be a bit confusing but not too bad with practice. Creative idea for harvest!
At first I thought "trees yield monsters" meant monsters would appear near the trees on their own, so I wasted a bit of time. Once I got the mechanic and strategy right, it was kinda relaxing. Planting mostly one tree at a time was enough to get through the first week for me (I used a mouse but it looks like the game is ready for mobile).
The mechanic is incredibly clever, and it would look really good with a bit more polish (more feedback on slashing trees/enemies, on their life/how damaged they are, and as always, sounds). Maybe even a transition between days.
