Root Runner is a 2D platformer game that takes place entirely underground, with a main theme centred around roots. The player takes on the role of a character navigating through a network of roots and obstacles. The roots serve as both the environment and the main challenge of the game, as the player must dodge, jump over, or find a way around them in order to progress. The game's unique setting and use of roots as obstacles make it stand out from other platformers and provide a fresh and challenging gaming experience. It also has some music that has been added to it and makes some sound effects when hitting obstacles. Furthermore, being developed by five students for Global Game Jam is a remarkable achievement because it demonstrates their creativity and ability to work as a team under tight deadlines and for the first time using Unity Engine. The game was developed on a Mac but can be played on both platforms (Windows and Mac). The game can be played easily just by using left and right arrows and a space bar to jump.
