Giga Hell Roots of Hell and Doom of Doomed Universe Destruction

Game is made as a part of FGJ 23.

Game Lore:

13,7 billion years ago earth was struck by a meteor containing a flower that does not belong to this fragile planet. Billions of years later another meteor hit and broke the flower free. After humans found and contained the flower found in the crater, they started experimenting on it, making a fatal mistake and feeding it anabolic steroids thus making it stronger and deadlier. The flower then broke through the containment and started showing signs of root growth. The roots on the flower seem to work like mouths that try to find a place to feed this immobile monstrosity. The roots grow by making external growths on the flower that travel on the roots and attaching to the furthest point of the root becoming part of it, thus making them longer. 

  In a faraway land called Suomi, we find ourselves in the shoes of one named Joni ”John Souls” Sielut, who is on a task to prevent His task is to shoot the external growths, preventing it from spreading its roots outside of the volcanic grounds of the crater. Because it is predicted that if the roots get themselves to fertile soil, the plant starts to grow exponentially and pollute the atmosphere with toxic fumes meant to destroy all living organisms.
