How To Play
You play as the Root of Evil. While unsuspecting pedestrians go out for their daily stroll, control your demonic roots with WASD to reach out and gobble them up!
Win the game by eating everyone in the cemetery.
Lose the game if your health meter drops down to zero.
Be careful though! These people aren’t completely defenseless - if spotted, people will chop your moving root off and you'll have to start back at the root of your tree. Too many chopped roots and you'll wither away!

I expected the tree to break into song from the thumbnail, it was a shame it didn't but the atmosphere of the game was pleasant. I did feel like the root might have been a bit too slow but it was still fun! Your team should be proud of what they're made, it's very well executed!
Nice atmosphere. The dancing tree model looks great.
Fun game! It could benefit from a little more interaction options, like growing underground to avoid obstacles, and perhaps a "sprint" feature, with NPCs chasing you.
This tree is the best fkin tree ever. Love it, big fan, can I have him on a tshirt?
Great music and sound design, the root moving sound was especially satisfying.
Tree looked really cool, whole game had a striking visual style.
Amazing assets, well done!
When I started moving around I said "If this is what I think it is, that's awesome". And it was indeed awesome. It's SO SATISFYING to move around with the branch sound. I was at 14/15 when I got caught, it was like a jumpscare haha but it is cool that I didn't have to restart from scratch.
Incredible job, it was super fun to play
