As the roots of a new plant you must defend it by moving into oncoming enemies and collecting water. Your life slowly drains but collecting water maintains it. As you collect water your plant grows. You only use the mouse to move. Enjoy!

Nice take on a classic. I died at the 3rd stage of the plant.

That was really fun. Blowing up the worms was super satisfying, and I loved the little song in the background. Good job, this is the most fun I have ever had while being a plant, lol :)

Interesting gameplay mechanic. Fun to play, would have liked to see a little bit more variety, but it was enjoyable!

Nice entry, I had a weird bug though where the game over screen came up and I kept playing.

I got about 8300 for my best score. (Hard to keep track of because you can keep playing and earning points after you're dead.) Addicting and fun!

Works well. I'd say it takes just a bit took long for the pace to pick up, things can feel dry early on.

I love it, especially how it looks like a fully controllable Missile Command with those explosions, simple, effective and extremely addictive. Though I think it's a shame that your pre-existing roots can't pick up the water :/

Great work! The control is quite innovative and simple. But it is still very addictive as the tracking and hitting the worms give a sense of complishment

Fun game. At one point I couldn't even see the smaller rocks because of all my roots :-). And that music!

Haha what a fun, a kind of Missle Command clone, but much easier. Nice idea. Fun to play.
