Below the Root speedruns

2026-10-14

The game I’ve been restoring, Below the Root (1984), is a platform-adventure game that I spent many dozens of hours as a kid, unable to win it. But the game can be won, and in very little time. Here are screenshots of games I won with 3 of the characters in under 20 minutes–and under 7 minutes with Pomma (who has the highest starting spirit power). I had to “renew” (go back home and lose a game day) for this last one though.
