ROOTS

In ROOTS players take on the role of a seed on a quest for survival and growth. As the seed, your mission is to send your roots deeper into the earth in search of precious water. But beware, the journey below is fraught with dangers and obstacles that you must navigate with skill and strategy.

The game begins as a simple seed, nestled in the soil with only a few shallow roots. As you delve deeper into the earth, you’ll encounter various hazards such as rocks, roots, and even underground creatures that threaten to impede your progress. Your task is to guide the seed’s roots around these obstacles, exploring the depths of the underground world in search of water sources.

Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to upgrade your root with special abilities and enhancements. These upgrades will help you overcome challenges more effectively and reach even greater depths. But choose your upgrades wisely, as resources are limited, and you’ll need to prioritize which abilities are most crucial for your survival.

As you descend deeper into the earth, you’ll uncover secrets and hidden passages that reveal the mysteries of the underground world. Discover ancient ruins, hidden caverns, and forgotten treasures as you explore the depths in search of water.
