Vile Roots

Vile Roots is a top-down arcade game made in 48 hours for Global Game Jam 2023! It was made by myself and Tantawii. Play as a nameless knight to survive an ever-growing army of enemies, and beware the corrupted bushes that grow roots that slow you down... Try to get the best score possible before succumbing to your death!

How To Play: Move with WASD, attack by pointing and holding left click. Press ESC to pause. Kill bushes to stop roots from spreading!

Note: Web builds in Godot 4 can be slow/glitchy. Try the Windows build instead if you're having issues (download below)!

Version 1.2: Added pause menu and audio settings, replaced roots sprite, minor optimizations

Version 1.1: Fixed collision bugs, rebalanced the game a bit.
