The Root of Evil
🥇Winner of the Tranzfuser Hidden Heritage selection for the Global Game Jam 2023!🥇
You play as the Root of Evil. While unsuspecting pedestrians go out for their daily stroll, control your demonic roots with WASD to reach out and gobble them up!
Win the game by eating everyone in the cemetery.
Lose the game if your health meter drops down to zero.
Be careful though! These people aren’t completely defenseless - if spotted, people will chop your moving root off and you'll have to start back at the root of your tree. Too many chopped roots and you'll wither away!

Great game! I played to the win screen and was motivated to keep getting better when I failed several times. I like the spooky-but-lighthearted tree, and the main theme music suited that tone perfectly. The root-growing mechanic worked smoothly and the sound effect was great. (I never did quite figure out why the gong/chime sound played at certain moments, though.) This team's work seems well integrated, and this game seems like an idea you could build out more -- nice!
