How to Play
- Look at where the water and hazards sit below you.
- Choose a direction to grow one step.
- Collect water before the reserve runs low.
- Keep descending as far as the reserve allows.
Tips & Tricks
Detour for water early rather than late. A root at full reserve can afford a long sideways run; one that is nearly dry cannot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Rootlings turn-based?
Yes — nothing happens until you move, which turns it into a planning game about water rather than a reaction game.
What brings a descent to an end?
Running out of water or growing into a hazard. Both are avoidable, which is why route choice matters more than speed.
