Pretty fun, although that was limited by the fact that the root can only go forward (just the possibility to go backwards would have been great), and there wasn't really a clear path to follow (although that may have been intended, and it didn't really ruin the game anyways). Other than that, it was good!

My original thought behind the root was that you would kind of be sprawling out like a root would, so I thought that going in multiple different directions that wasn't the root's forward-facing direction would go against that idea. However, I do think that with the amount of retreating the player does after sprouting a flower, the player experience would benefit a lot more from being able to at least go backwards like you said. So, that would definitely be something I would add in the future if I come back to it. Thank you for the input there!
