(Un)rooted was made in just a week for the Global Game Jam 2023. The theme was "roots".

In it, you play as Sid, a small spawn of a Cosmic Tree that has been invaded by a predator bug race. Your mission is to purge all bugs from the surface of the Cosmic Tree to help it heal completely. To do that, Sid can plant itself in the ground and harness the power of the tree to become badass and shoot its enemies. It can't move while it's planted, and there are also power ups that Sid can find that go away once it unroots, so the player must carefully choose where and when to plant.

The game has the following features:

- Action gameplay with a little depth

- 3d polished graphics

- Adaptive music

This is pretty cool! The hopping (walking) animation looks really good, and I like the way the music changes when you’re rooted!

Glad you liked it! We loved working on that!
