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, point and attack with your mouse. Kill bushes to stop roots from spreading!
