Made for Global Game Jam 2023 with the theme "Roots" by @ubehalaya, @ok_lavender, and @lazarus_vitalis.

A mechanical being has gained root access to your device. As powerful as it is, it still cannot grasp the concept of root words. In order to get your device back, you must dive into your root directory and solve some root word based puzzles. Will you be able to get your device back?

Met the devs at PGDX, I thought I'd stop by and re-play the game here. Still a really fun game and great concept. I hope to see more levels and see more from you guys!

Nice to meet you and thank you for playing! We'll try to upload the updated version soon.

Really interesting concept! I love what you've done here and think it's quite clever. Great entry!
