Tending Roots is a cozy Match-3 RPG set in a gentle world of growth and transformation. Unlike traditional match-3 games, matching tiles here transforms energy states rather than simply clearing them.
- Energy Tiles: Five energy states (Ruhend, Nährend, Fließend, Verwurzelt, Wandelnd) that interact and transform
- No Fail States: Every scene reaches a conclusion - your choices affect the outcome, but you always see the result
- Scene-Based Goals: Each scene has its own goal, like growing carrots or nurturing plants
- Cozy Gameplay: No timers, no pressure - take your time with each move
