==Trivia==
*This game is also a game jam. ROOTS was made and submitted to Ludum Dare, a company that encourages people to make games in a short amount of time and see which one is the best.
*The color of some of the seeds corresponds with some of the obstacles in the game, explaining why they give immunities to those types of obstacles. For example. Pear Seed is green, so it has immunity to poison. Olive Seed is black, so it's immune to oil.
