About game
Roots is a calm puzzle about how living things grow. A root reaches out from a seed: each move extends it one step across a hexagonal grid, but it cannot cross itself or pass through stones. Your goal is to collect every crystal on the level without trapping yourself in a dead end.
Every step costs energy. Water drops restore it, sand costs twice as much, and in the frost world crystals must be collected strictly in order. 60 levels across four worlds — meadow, stones, sands and frost — with a smoothly rising difficulty.
Earn up to three sprouts per level: finish it, match the best move count and collect all the water. Progress saves automatically, so you can continue on any device.
How to play
Tap a neighbouring cell or swipe to grow the root by one step. On desktop the arrow keys work, and Enter confirms a move. The root cannot cross itself or grow through stones.
Collect the crystals — once you have them all, the level is complete. Watch your energy: every step spends it, water drops restore it, and sand costs twice as much. In the frost world crystals are numbered — collect them in order.
Stuck in a dead end? Undo a move or restart the level. If you are really stuck, the game will suggest the next step.
