Defeat demons not with swords, but with juggling skills, in a fresh combat mechanic! Challenge your reaction time in a deckbuilding roguelite as you fight mysterious creatures. Rescue your performance troupe and perform at the long-awaited king's wedding with the help of the Wak Wak tree.
On your way to perform at the king's wedding, your entire troupe vanishes without a trace. Armed only with your juggling skills and a magical lasso gifted by the mysterious Wak Wak Tree, you set out into a world drawn from lesser-known folktales to rescue your friends from the demons that took them.
Forget swinging swords! Rootknot's combat runs on a physics-based loop-drawing mechanic fresh out of the box. Toss your items into the air, then loop around the ones you want to grab and activate. Every item behaves differently: a bomb damages you and enemies, a pipe heals you when dropped but hurts you if grabbed, and a magnet pulls in anything metal. Read the air, time your loop, and turn chaos into a combo.
Special enemies change the course of the game against you. A Poltergeist slips a mimic item into your hand that copies one of your real items. You know the drill, grab a mimic and be punished for it! A Changeling makes your items fade invisible mid-air. Every encounter forces you to adapt your reads on the fly.
Strategic deck-building meets dexterity-driven action. Collect items, relics, and crafting materials as you go. Place a bet before diving into each dungeon, then assemble a deck that suits your playstyle. Back at your shelter, spend crafting materials to upgrade your base, unlock new dungeons, and reveal fresh relics and items.
Along the way, you'll run into friendlier, yet demanding characters with their own tricky requests. Like a stranger who asks you to carry a handful of seahorses across an entire biome without ever letting them drop to get a worthy reward.
Grab your lasso and prove your hands are quicker than the demons.
