Has this ever happened to you? You're just trying to spread your roots around the world, but robots keep teleporting in to burn and mow your beautiful lawn. 

With Thorny Roots and Parasitic Vines at your control, take the fight to the metallic terrors and reclaim your land!

Warning: Music may be loud by default! Start low just in case.

If it doesn't work on your browser, please try to play the download version. It takes some time to load.

Controls

WASD to move

Left Click for a Thorny Root attack

Right Click for a Parasitic Vine to take control of an Enemy Robot (No, you can't control a teleporter and spawn robots... yet)

You win at 70% map coverage of the land with grass, but you lose at 0HP or 10% coverage.

(Note: Trying to take control of enemy mid-collision might break the player character)
