Snoot

In Snoot you have to control the root of a tree in the search of nutrients and water.

You can use the left analog stick/A and D/Left and Right cursor to rotate the root.

Space bar (or Y/Triangle) splits the root, which acts as a checkpoint/extra life.

Left CTRL (or X) triggers a zap throughout the root that kills all bugs attacking it. 

Both splitting and zapping need enough nutrients to trigger.

If you have enough nutrition, you can hit the bugs head on to kill them. It's cheaper than zapping, though!

The nutrients that you need at a moment are displayed in the UI, and you should only pick up those to increase your nutrition.

Be careful with your water level/hydration. The root will move faster/slower depending on hydration.

The root will die if you don't have enough nutrients or water.

You should search for the crystals hidden deep underground to unlock their secrets...
