Root of Life

A zen-puzzle game for FlipperZero puzzle made on GlobalGameJam'23 (theme: "Roots")

Nothing interesting in the code, as you would expect from a jam-rushed development. Was just curious about making a custom app for the device

Gameplay

Rules

There is no strict goal, but the idea is to grow the root by connecting new section to existing ones to take larger area of the screen. Collecting "water" (spinning dots) gives extra points.

Roots are generated and moved within 3x3 cells, so not all positions would be available, ✔️ or ❌ in the top-right corner show if current placement is correct. You can "reroll" the root to try a new one. Rerolls are limited, and the game is over when you are out of rerolls.

Controls

• OK to start the game
• Arrows to move the root
• OK to either place the root if possible or reroll it otherwise
• Back to quit

Installation

Go to Releases, download .fap file, and put it into apps/Games directory on your SD-card

Development

To work on the code look into flipperzero-firmware documentation

TODO

(no, nothing of that will ever be done)

• Code cleanup
• Sounds
• Highscores (if I can figure out how to IO)
• Tiny grass sine-based animation over the ground
• Infinite scrolling field (?)

Funzies

• Timelapse of coding and presenting the game
• Game icons were made in Paint (one of the possible jam diversifiers, and not like i needed anything else there really)
