A downloadable game

Sproot is a little game about a little tree spirit named Sproot!  Use the arrow keys to push some magical acorns into to place and watch them take root! Once the acorn is on the plate make sure to push it one more time for it take root!  You have three lives, but there is an additional three hidden away. The UI won't indicate it, but they do stack!

2 Versions available!

GGJ Version
There is absolutely no sound or music in this, so put on whatever you want in the background and go for it! There might be some for a post jam edition of this, but no promises! Plus game some game breaking bugs in the final room that will force you to RESTART THE WHOLE GAME.

Showcase Vesion

An updated version using the stock RPG Maker sfx, and FIXED THE GAME BREAKING BUG MENTIONED ABOVE! Plus I made one room a little more forgiving!

Enjoy!

Made for the 2023 Global Game Jam!!!! The theme was Root! As an added challenge I also did the diversifier: An Image Is Worth 1,000 Words! So there is no text at all in game!

I've beaten it! The bottom right puzzle was tough but it felt good to figure out. Nice work!

Thanks! That room was MUCH harder before I patched it. Before the room didn't reset completely, so all those spawn enemies would be persistent! Fun Fact: I named that room "One Way Out".
