Project Xenoflora

Someone thought it was a good idea to create the world's first sentient plant. It wasn't. Now there's a mildly dangerous and very angry plant making a mad dash for the exit, the only thing that stands in its way is the near-infinite number of mass-produced robot sentries programmed to destroy it.

About the Game



100% of the plant life on earth was non-sentient, maybe scientists and giant corporations should learn to not mess with the laws of nature.

In Project Xenoflora, you play the world's first biologically created sentient plant. Plants are cool, being able to think it cool, why not just combine those two things? Someone thought it was a good idea, it wasn't. Now there's a mildly dangerous and very angry plant making a mad dash for the exit, the only thing that stands in its way is the near-infinite number of mass-produced robot sentries programmed to destroy it.



  • Burrow, shoot, and... tree?... your way through bullet-hell action in this short roguelike experience.
  • Make use of randomized abilities and combine them to suit your playstyle.
  • Most importantly, the enemies are all robots, the dog is a robot dog, specifically a chlorophyll-thirsty robot dog trying to tear you to shreds. Do not feel bad for the robot dog, it has red eyes its obviously evil.
