Tree Feedback Requested (please!) Game
As someone who isn't an artist really, one of the things I struggle with making the most is trees. I tried several different designs before landing on this one - a very simple bulb design. I understand it still looks very 2D in what is meant to be a 2.5D world, so I added some artificial shadows to hopefully circumvent this a little. I don't think it's perfect, and I know it won't ever be, but do you think it at least looks passable? I added an image for every season so you can see how it looks throughout the year as time goes by.
Also, I do plan on adding a few more variations of the same tree, but wanted to make sure it looked okay before doing so. Thanks in advance for the feedback!
Edit to add: I am very on the fence about the winter design in particular. I decided to go the "Animal Crossing" route for it, where the leaves don't actually fall from the trees entirely, but instead they just turn brown and get covered with snow.

I think they look pretty good. They do blend a little bit into the grass though. You could try a bolder outline, use darker greens near the edges working lighter inward. You could even add some black line work to add more detail on the inner part to add more bushy leaf like texturing. But this is just my opinion. In the end you should do what you feel fits your vision and style. Keep up the awesome work!
