Judge feedback
Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.
- There's potential in both the 90s multimedia vibe along with the main gimmick. Actually chasing after the little dude mid-fight is something I haven't seen other boomer shooters explore and I can see having a lot of cool potential.
- Premise and humour was really fun. Gunplay got a bit repetitive.
What do you like about your game?
I am very proud of the audio design I think it fits perfectly with the game world.

Omg I love this game. The mushrooms really made me feel so transcendent it was insane. Seems super well thought out. Love the scenery. Overall 10/10 pal! It really scratches that perfect optimization part of my brain.
a really fungal experience
The song reminds me of a pixies song, love the low fidelity feel to it. Feels like I'm in a dank basement - themed very well between both worlds, with a cool shader. I liked the gameplay when I got the hang of it, took me forever to realize that it was a gun with a mushroom coming out of it lol.
I had some issues with the little guy at times, he would run into the pillars or into the exit and couldnt be retrieved. I also know your world colour is a bright purple :). Very minor things.
great vibe, many "truffles" were consumed.
congrats on the release.
Lol thank you so much yeah I’m really proud of how it turned out, except for the bugs >:(
Such a cool and unique concept, I loved catching the little shit running around to switch dimensions. The art is beautiful and indicative of passion and hard work!
I loved the aesthetic so much, the visual art and the music gave me so cool vibes, it made me want to try to make something in a similar style, I liked it so much. The gameplay is so cool too, I like the "switching between realities" mechanic (even tho took me a little bit of time to get it), the store and the enemy waves based gameplay make a really nice game loop IMO.
I had a bit of trouble with the mouse lock, I have 2 screens and the mouse was unlocked going all the time to my second screen so it made it a little bit uncomfortable to play at times.
However, I gonna have this game saved on my "favorite game jam games list", and have this aesthetic in mind as a reference for future stuff I'd like to make :)
Hell yeah thank you so much, yeah I forgot about locking the mouse to one screen lol
Fun throwback to games of yore :D :D :D
this is goated thank you makes me think of weezer
Thank you so much!!! I’m so glad you liked it
*gonna be honest I forgot to post this comment in my excitement lmao
This game has impeccable vibes <3
Thanks so much! I haven’t played your game yet but it looks really cool. I’ll probably check it out tonight.
wow this game is oozing with charm!!! i really like the art a lot! the 2d sprites all look really nice and the 3d environment textures are so cool too when you're switching back and forth! im a really big fan of the look of the UI too with the mushroom theming, very nice stuff!
dude, the voice acting is so fun and adds so much character to the game! hearing the shopkeep comment whenever you try to interact with something in the shop brings me life and then hearing what i assume is the main character react or make a sassy comment always leaves a smile on my face, super fun and campy i love it! and the music too really adds to this psychadelic vibe thats going on in this world, its so nice! the sfx also gives really good feedback for whatever you're doing, very nice!
the game is really fun too! the act of always trying to be on the move to not only avoid the enemies that you're currently facing but also dodge the enemies that are in the other dimension, very cool stuff! and the desperate chase to switch dimensions by seeking out and eating the baby mushroom adds a really nice tension to fights, especially the big one (or ones? i got owned and died by that big mushroom because i got careless xd).
overall, this was a really cool game and world that you made, i enjoyed it a lot! great stuff!
Thanks so much! I’m so glad you liked it. Honestly I wasn’t even thinking about voice acting when I started the game but as soon as I put it in it made the world 10x better. I’m definitely thinking about updating it more too it’s very buggy at its current stage lol.
Love the voice acting in this game
A great game! The original art in this game really brings it together for me. Such a creative style that works so well and shows the love and care that went into making it. Also props to the sound in this game, feels like the music and voice acting is streets ahead of many other games made for gamejams.
Great feel on this game everything fits perfectly to form such a cohesive feeling of a game. The voice acting fits perfect, a great mix of melancholy and funny, the 'I think I just ate a truffle' line makes me laugh every time. The music is so good, the visual are so good, and the gameplay is so smooth but still intense.
Heavily Recommend!!!
Another fantastic addition to the mushroom genre! Mushroom type games are finally getting the recognition they deserve (●'◡'●)

Finally a solid new entry in the classic shroomer-shooter genre. Solid gameplay with a unique mechanical idea, very playful aesthetic and sound design that ties it together really nicely. Worth getting to the end of!
It's a very fun game. Great music and sounds. I'm even afraid to imagine how you came up with the ideas for the game c:
thank you so much! I'm so excited to play your game it looks really cool
Ridiculously fun game. The art style is very original, and I love the sound design!
This game has super fun gameplay with a unique and charming art style. Must try!
