A real-time tower defense with a twist — plant your towers to hold the line, then uproot and replant them to counter each new wave.

Rooted — A real-time tower defense with a twist — plant your towers to hold the line, then uproot and replant them to counter each new wave.

Overview

Rooted is a real-time tower defense built for the 2023 Global Game Jam. Set up your defenses and take on waves of enemies — plant your towers into position, or uproot them to replant somewhere more strategic as the pressure shifts.

That uproot-and-replant mechanic is the heart of it: your defenses aren't fixed, so every wave is a fresh puzzle of where to move next.

My Role

Built over the jam weekend at the Pittsburgh GGJ (online in 2023), I worked on programming alongside a large team, building the game in Unity — the tower placement/uprooting systems and the real-time wave combat.
