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.




Enjoy short classic adventure-platforming mechanics and ability based melee combat in a densely packed package. Botanica is a shorter game, with additional challenges for those who want to explore more. Switch up how you approach combat with seed powers you take from your enemies, and obtain powerful abilities from bosses. Use those abilities to explore the world both forward and backwards in your adventure!
