Pando (Latin for "I spread") is a clonal colony of an individual male quaking aspen. Its being attacked by a fungus, you play as a root who must connect with other trees to survive. Collect raindrops on the way to delay the fungus takeover. 

Pando is a 2 player game where Player 1 controls the horizontal direction of the root using [A] and [D] and Player 2 controls the vertical direction using [Up] and [Down]. 

Tips and Tricks:

1. Remember the tree positions at the starting of the game and co-ordinate with your teammate to move to the closest one.

2. Keep collecting raindrops and put off the fungus takeover. Even if you see no fungus buildup near you, keep drinking them to delay it as long as possible.

3. Blue raindrops put away the fungus for a little time, while the purple ones put away the fungus for a relatively longer time.

4. Play with sound ON and hear pings to locate nearby trees and move to them.
