Welcome to the exciting world of Radices, a game where you should take control of a tree's roots and make them spread as long and depth as you can!

Some info about the game:
- I used libgdx and eclipse.
- Graphics were made with inkscape.
- Background music generated with http://www.abundant-music.com/
- Sound effects generated with sfxr http://www.drpetter.se/project_sfxr.html

And I think that's all, thanks for playing, hope you like it!

Very original idea. The gameplay is very fun, but the music (which I can see is generated)... was kind of annoying with that high pitched ringing noise. Otherwise, very fun game. I got a score of 7436.

Very nice game. The only thing i think is may missing is a counter for the lifetime different from the size of the roots.

Cool Game!! Could do with a few graphic improvements with the pickups though. Fits the theme well :)

Good game, you should add some online high scores to keep people playing. Also the +Roots need to add thickness because you don't get deeper then the original root.

I love the concept of this. Would love to play this on a mobile device.

very original! the concept is good but there seems to be a bit too much rng involved to beat highscores.

The best innovative game is tried so far, the idea of the game is brilliant.

But my ears are bleeding :D

This was very interesting and fun! It's a very innovative idea, and although there are some flaws, it is very fun to play.

This concept is really neat, but for some reason the framerate was very stuttery for me, making controls way harder. The music choice was... brave. I didn't know there was a site for procedurally generated music though, that's rad.

This was really interesting. It's a little too reliant on luck rather than skill, which takes away from replayability. But I would definitely play a polished version of this!
