<note: sounds sarcastic but this review is anything but>

YES YES YES YES!!!!! I have been waiting for a game like this forever. I'm a developer so naturally I'm at my computer all day/night. I have 4 monitors and I wanted a game that I could just leave running and occasionally interact with. This is that game right now and it works beautifully.

Suggestions:

1. Ability to control time in game : It grows a little faster than I would like so I would like to slow it down.
2. Custom backgrounds: I see the ground plane and an animated sky. Would like to see more options and possibility of defining my own. How about having it on a virtual desk or window sill.
3. Tree type: How about custom tree types? An Evergreen bonsai (for us Pac NW'sters)
4. Weather: What if it snowed and flakes landed on your bonsai
5. Survival features: Water and feed your tree or it dies
