How does your game fit the theme?
Changing the scale of the interactive objects in the game is the core gameplay of my game. In fact, the original inspiration for the Game came from the 2023 Global Game Jam, the theme was Root. We designed and built the game around the radical sign in the mathematical concept. Players need to use their mathematical knowledge, change the root to affect the scale of the interaction box in a suitable way, and finally reach the end of each level.

As one of the developers, I am glad to see you guys like it.
Checking out all my fellow “Root” games. Glad I did because this is a devilishly clever puzzler. I love the fact that rotating the square root also slightly alters how you have to platform because you now have a tail behind you instead of a leading edge. Really clever!
Turns out I am pretty terrible at math ;_;
As a math guy I was bound to enjoy this game and I thought that it was a very clever idea!
