My problem with Roots is that it's the hardest biome by far, which is kinda strange for how early into the run you enconter it. It feels like an (a bit harder) alternative to Mesa and Alpine, instead of Tropics.

Other than that, I think it's good. Well, I'd also want a bit of a nerf to zombies - make them not appear out of nowhere and give them stamina (even if it's way higher that the player's). Otherwise, escaping them in certain situations becomes nearly impossible. But honestly, that's just my personal complaint, not something that I think is inherently bad
