Roots Dancer is a rhythm game in which the player has to make a tree grow by making its roots collect water drops from two lanes at the same time. The game has a very soft rhythm but requires a bit of coordination in order to press both directional inputs.

The project has been developed during the Global Game Jam 2023 following the theme "Roots", as a solo dev and using only half of the allowed 48 hours window.

Anecdotes:

• The game has been praised by players for its clean graphics and ambience (though almost using only cubes and some visual tricks), and for its difficulty "duality" (some players completed it on first try, some still didn't after 10 times).
• During the summer of 2025, I took two hours to patch the game and add an additional hard mode option, fix a few bugs, and revamp the waterdrops appearance (which were unfortunately looking a bit too close to spermatozoa).
