A cute little pixel game about being a sentient root that strives to be longer and longer, so that our little plant gets bigger and bigger.

Being a magical root is not simple though, you should make sure to get plenty of sunlight, water and fertilizer and avoid all the animals and insects that try to harm us!

Avoiding stones and other obstacles could be useful too, just between us.

A vertical side-scrolling arcade game, where the objective is too collect points via nutrient coins (sunlight, water, fertilizer) and avoid obstacles and enemies. 

Different coins give different points, while fertilizer brings the most.

Collecting power-up coins (shield / slow down time) also can help to avoid enemies or collect coins more effiently.

The game ends when you have taken damage three times.

The higher the score, the better the plant you can see in the end screen, with a blooming cherry tree being the best.
