How to Play
- Guide your root tip through the soil using arrow keys or WASD
- Collect nutrients (colored circles) to maintain growth - your nutrient reserve depletes over time
- Avoid obstacles: Rocks (gray) are impassable, and your own lignified root trail blocks your path
- Lignification: As you grow, older segments harden and become obstacles - plan ahead!
- Water droplets (blue) give a small nutrient boost and increase growth speed temporarily
- Complete levels by collecting enough nutrients to fill your reserve
- The game ends when your nutrient reserve is depleted or you're completely boxed in
Inspired by how real plant roots navigate soil - using chemotropism to seek nutrients
while their older tissues lignify for structural support.
