Roots is a fast pace game that strives to not only be fun and competitive but educates the player about animal behavior and the hierarchy of ecosystems as well.

Roots.
Play as a tree in this competitive global web browser game, as you compete with other trees to become the largest tree of them all. Relating back to biological competition among trees and the intra-specific and inter-specific competition among the species, the game makes full use of the various dynamics of these said relationships:

  • Parasitism: Leech off the resource of other trees as you slowly extinguish the competitor of all its natural resources.
  • Mutualistic Relationships: Form truces with other trees/ players in the match to provide each other resources for one another and grow large together.
  • Predator and Prey: similar to the relationships in a rock, paper scissors game, some trees will predate on other trees but slowly decompose over time should they not find nutrients or grow quickly but move slowly as they obtain resources from the sun.
