Nutrition by jestar_jokin
You are a seedling, who must spread roots and absorb nutrients from the soil.
Use the arrow keys to navigate the plant's root.
Try to collect all of the nutrients.
Spacebar will reset the puzzle.
Click and drag with the mouse to see the whole playfield.
Yes, it is possible to finish. There may be more than one solution, but there's definitely at least one solution.
N = Nitrogen. Energy = 3, speed = 1.
K = Potassium. Energy = 2, speed = 2.
P = Phosphorus. Energy = 2, speed = 3.
For when you inevitably get stuck, the solution is available here:

Anyway, start off on the same path as in the screenshot. Then, you want to tackle the top-left section, then bottom-left, then top-right, then bottom-right. Hope this helps!
As others said, perhaps with smaller introductory levels first, and hints, could be a very unique game. Great job!
I'd like to see more of this game. As has been said, a set of ramping difficulty levels (as a sort of tutorial) would make this really shine.
It didn't felt like I have a goal enough.
I felt like I just have to survive every turn but that I don't have a general goal.
I should note, however, that passing over a nutrient without actually landing on it (very common when speed is above 1) you don't actually grab that nutrient and it gets locked out because you can't pass over your previous roots. This can be kind of frustrating.
I've posted the solution online for the curious.
