Root Quest

Play as the root of an enterprising plant as you explore the soil beneath in search of fresh pools of water, guarded deep within dungeons filled with root-eating worms. Jump in to these water sources to make your plant grow! Be careful though, as taking damage or exploring uses water, and your supply is constantly dwindling. Lose too much water and the plant will wither and die. Find all three dungeons!
