Piroot

After surviving a crash landing, you awake stranded and lacking abilities or memory. However, a mysterious voice named Root calls out, offering helpful guidance. But be warned, this strange planet is full of killer robots and dangerous obstacles.

Initially limited to rolling based movement, you will soon acquire new abilities and weapons allowing access to more areas, eventually uncovering the world’s many secrets.

The engaging story is delivered as a continuous experience without any pauses or overwhelming players with excessive reading.

Retro inspired pixel art is elevated with dynamic lights and shadows to create a unique visual style. Procedural algorithms give an organic feel to the environment.

As a solo developer's passion project, Piroot is not just a game, it's a labor of love. The custom engine is also open source and includes a level editor, so players can create and share their own stories.
