You are the mind of an ancient forest. From a single glowing Core, spread a network of neon roots through the dark soil, mine water, harvest energy — and survive the endless swarms of bugs crawling in from every edge.
Growth is easy. Survival is a balancing act. Water sources dry up, winter frost bites, and each new wave brings bigger, tougher bugs. You can't fight them head-on — the only way to stop a bug is to lure it onto rot. Cut your own roots to leave rotting bait, poison the swarm, and funnel the giants away from your Core while you rebuild.
Features
- 🌱 Grow & prune a living root network on a grid — every root costs energy, every cut leaves bait.
- 🐛 Rot as your only weapon — bugs prefer fresh rot; stronger bugs need more of it to die.
- 🍄 Mushroom symbiosis — let spores infect your roots to create slow-zones that trap the swarm.
- 🌸 Companion plants — Battery (energy), Moss (water), and Thornbush (winter shield), each with an aura.
- 🌳 Mature new trees — spend seeds to raise extra Cores; link them to boost your reserves… at the cost of upkeep.
- ❄️ Four seasons, changing every 5 waves — autumn spores, freezing winters, generous springs.
- 🌊 Endless waves that grow bigger every decade. Chase your best wave — your record is saved.
- ✨ Minimalist dark-fantasy visuals with bioluminescent glow, an 8-bit soundtrack, and a crunchy pixel font.
