News update Rusty Lake: Roots
Sorry guys for waiting on a news update about Roots!
After the Tokyo Game Show we have done 2 weeks of play testing, and that takes a lot of time because of the different devices and testing procedures. It was also the first time we let a game test by a bigger group, but in the end we got really helpful feedback.
At this time we have done a succesfull submission to iOS and Android, so that’s really good news! But still.. there is a lot of things to do in order to launch the game perfectly: an official trailer, preparing Steam and Itch.io files, getting the translations done, contacting the press etc. So we still can’t give you an exact release date yet, but we aim for the third week of October.
For now we want to thank all Beta testers involved and Adam Snyder for checking the texts. Special thanks to Victor Butzelaar for getting the last soundtracks done and especially Bob Rafferty, who helped us in so many ways (walkthrough, trailers and checking texts)! Now back to work and get this done..
It’s almost time!! We’re very excited too π

Hi, just like everyone i’m waiting for Roots. Do you plan to have some kind of “one payment buy all devices” with a code or else ? I’m fine ok to pay on stich.io (even more than $3), but leaving 30% to apple or google sucks.
Anyway, all the best !
Lekker hoor/so cool – herfst/autumn 2016 will never be the same π

YAYY! I’m super excited and cant wait! I was dying to get some info about the release date and finally i have it! It’s almost there! Waiting for the trailer now.
Over the last few months, I kept coming back here looking for news of a new cube escape game or something. As much as I would like to be, I’m not a gamer so the behavior is unusual for me. It made me recognize what a great series you have been developing. Awesome puzzles and an interesting story. I have no idea how you were able to crank out so many cube escape games so quickly but you must have a very talented team. I’m excited about roots. Keep cranking out these games.
YEAH! Can’t wait!!
Lekker!! Can’t wait
Please is to tell us release date ASAP. I needing to request time off work to play games. Many tanks.
I canβt wait
Waiting is difficult when the prize is sweet. Good luck in the last weeks of production, Rusty Lake Team!!
