UpRoot
Root your way up a mysterious tree dungeon!
UpRoot is a platformer with an interesting jump mechanic where you have to climb up and don't fall down! Reminiscent of Jump King and that one dude from Super Mario Odyssey.
This is a game jam game made at the Global Game Jam 2023 at Uni Bayreuth.

A nice little platformer with nostalgic pixelart!
The navigation is an interesting approach on how a plant would move around. I have to admit that I struggled quite a bit with learning the controls and finetuning jumps / jump curves and falling off rounded platform borders while trying to move upwards - but since It's one level and there were no enemies, the scope was definitely manageable.
Had to restart the first run though, because I got stuck on an outer root at the top and could not grow roots from that spot.
Also: nice credit section!very nice and polished game, however at the end i for some reason fell off screen so yeh, very nice game
and it would be just as nice if you check out my game too ROOTED POTATOS
