Very cool concept and beautiful art. I wish it was a bit shorter. I couldn't finish it.

Combat felt nice. However, the anti-melee mushroom was not so nice, as it stops you from damaging nests altogether, basically enforcing an arbitrary 5 second wait every time you RNG it. I understand why spells deal no damage to nests (would allow the player to avoid all damage and risk if they did), but sitting on top of a second mushroom just waiting for the no-melee effect to wear off does not feel good…

Cool concept, with a good balance of risk and reward. Unfortunately the game becomes grindy, as you can only deal a little chip damage to the spawners per mushroom, and mushroom drops are rng per slime, and then every once in a while you have to roundtrip all the way to the bottom of the map to restore HP.

I liked how you designed the UI, the chat boxes looked good, and they were clear. I also liked how we only could attack the spawners while we were under the influence of a mushroom. Attacking slimes with a sword was pretty punishing though since they would be invincible for a while, and then attack you immediately. I found that using magic was a more reliable way to fight them.

Good game, well done!

This game was pretty fun. I have a small nitpick though: the mushroom pickup message shouldn't require you to press space, especially mid combat, since you can easily pick it up on accident.
