About this game

Beneath the soil, two rival plants fight for the same water. Roots is an original turn-based strategy duel where every move counts: reach the water before your opponent, or sabotage their roots and watch them wither.

Easy to learn in seconds, hard to put down.

🌱 HOW YOU PLAY
Each turn you grow your roots toward an adjacent tile. Drink water drops to fill your meter — the first plant to reach the goal wins. But the underground is full of surprises: rocks block your path, nutrients grant an extra growth, and hidden worms will devour a careless root.

✂️ THE TWIST: CUT THEIR ROOTS
Grow over the tip of a rival root and everything left disconnected dries up. Every match is a tug-of-war between rushing for water and sabotaging your opponent. The drops they already drank are safe — but the ground they lost is gone.

🤖 CLIMB THE RIVAL LADDER
Take on seven rivals, from the clumsy Sprout Rookie to the ruthless Ancient Oak. The board grows larger and the AI sharpens as you climb. Win or lose, you always choose your next challenger — and your rank rises or falls with every duel.

📱 PLAY TOGETHER
