You are the last apple tree in the the land. A horde of insatiable gnomes has caught the scent of your fruit, and they will stop at nothing to bake their apple pie. They can't help themselves... MAKE THEM PAY.

Deep Roots is a 2.5d arcade style defense game. You have Only One Life, so every strike counts!

• Extend Your Roots: Click and drag your cursor to shoot deadly roots deep into the soil.
• Impale the Horde: Skewer the incoming gnomes to protect your precious fruit.
• Chain Combos: Hit multiple gnomes with a single root to rack up massive score multipliers!
• Manage Your Energy: Extending roots costs Life Force. Retract them safely to get your energy back.

Hot Tip: Gnomes are physically slowed down while walking over your roots.
