Lol

Clever implementation of this idea. I'm not sure if you're aware but there is a similar mobile game. I like that your version doesn't have tons of ads lol.

I'm Rooting for you! I really enjoyed playing the game. I'd suggest to let the players decide when to start the next Root would be really helpful instead of spawning it as soon as they grab a water. Letting the player choose to spawn on mouse click can help avoid starting in the wrong direction and possibly screwing the player over for any next spawns. Or it would be nice if there was a grace period at the start of spawn so that players could move a radius of units without worry about hitting another root. Towards the end of one of my runs, the game started to get very choppy and I'm not sure what caused that, might want to look into that. Maybe too many objects spawned or the noise was overlapping or if Resetting the game didn't reset variables so multiple games worth of assets were loaded at the same time. At about score 15 this would happen to me with maybe 10 or so bad Roots. The noise seemed to get a bit louder the more roots that spawned.

The concept is really something!

Small thing: I made it to 12 and everything started lagging a lot.

Roots even starting popping out of the ground:

I think the flower wanted to start propagating! XD

I still enjoyed it a lot!

Congrats!
