A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

DownRoot - A game where root go down

Split your roots to dodge rocks, fossils, and beings of the deep. What else lies in the depths of the Earth? Nobody knows! (Probably magma but don't tell the root that).

  • Left Click: Split root
  • Right Click: Cut root

Players click to split the root into two new directions, but the roots all have a mind of their own and will wiggle as they please. Guide at least one of your roots to the bottom of the screen on each level, creeping lower and lower while avoiding obstacles, some of them dangerous. Above all else, your roots must go down.

Available for Windows and MacOS!
