Tap Root by mattlevonian

[raw]
made by mattlevonian for LD34 (JAM)
A local multiplayer (splitscreen) game where you compete for scarce resources by spreading out a root network.

NOTE: This plays best with 2-4 players, as it is a multiplayer game. Also, the game can only be played with a controller.

So, sorry if you don't have 2+ controllers and friends at your disposal.

This was very fun to play!
I played it with two friends and we all liked it! It is a really cool concept!

For some reason my Logitech F310 controller wouldnt work in the game. Wish I could have tried the game, is there something I can do to try and fix it?

Wasn't able to play due to the 2+ controllers requirement.

Whoa, what are you doing with half a gigabyte of assets?

I didn't have other controllers (or people...), but I had a good enough time growing around.

To anyone having controller issues: the game should recognize almost any controller on the planet, try making sure it is plugged in and the computer recognizes it before starting the game.

An interesting idea, but it really needed more explanation about what was going on. I figured it how to use the controls eventually, but still wasn't sure what the objective is.

Updated with a patch that hopefully helps provide more feedback about what's going on.

Does not provide keyboard support completely yet.
