🍃 Sproots is a colony survivial game where you control small Pikmin-like creatures in a Sims-esque manner 🍃
🌊 Each 'sproot' is in constant need of food and water. Their camp is always located near a 'life plant' where they gather water, but you'll have to help them out getting food! 🌊
💀 Eventually every sproot will die of age (around 60), so be sure to let them breed new eggs on their nest! 🥚
🌟 During their lifetime they can study objects, learn skills, craft structures and items, and teach each other about their findings! 🌟
