About

The sproutkin are often considered the weakest creatures in the land, simple and carefree. Yet one sprout in particular chooses to go on a journey to test its own strength; seeking to defeat the god which threatens to wipe out everything plant life holds dear.

Botanica is a short 2D side-scrolling adventure-platformer that puts you in a world of living plants. Fight and think your way through platforming and puzzles, and test your combat against a variety of enemies and bosses. Utilize the power of seeds that enemies drop to grow and obtain their own abilities, and uncover secrets abundant in this sprawling world.
