The graphics are nice to look at, the gameplay is challenging but not frustrating due to the bountiful checkpoints. A fun take on the theme as well, great work!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful game! I love the fun gameplay and the overall control. Felt very satifying to reach and discover new locations.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful graphics, thats a really cool feature how the level tiles load in. Gameplay was fun and controls felt smooth. I think something might have gone wrong with the audio though, it was sounding very scratchy and muffled over time. nice game!
Thanks, hopefully it's something we can fix after the jam!
VERY polished game on the graphics side. Props! Gameplay is a great take on the theme, lots of potential! Would have liked to see some more mechanics, I found that I almost never used the dash after getting quick fall.
Music is clipping a little for me, which is unfortunate cause there’s a great vibe to this game.
Great job!
Thank you! We're planning on expanding on it soon, hopefully!
Good take on the theme! I really enjoyed floating arround and looking at the level building itself. Navigation through the level can be a bit tricky though and sometimes the view is fully blocked, regardless how you rotate the camera - I would consider rendering the spore with a different visual style when behind an object, like a lot of strategy games do. Really nice entry nevertheless!
Thanks for the feedback! We're planning on updating after the jam ends, so we'll definitely take this into consideration.
Fun game! I love the look and feel of it. The art style is very nice and the music is super relaxing. Nice job!
Thank you!!
Cool game Mushrooms look nice
Thank you! It's awesome to see so many people had similar takes on the theme
Hi all! There is an issue with the level bounding box being too low at the area with the soot enemies. To get past this area you will have to do small launches (tap Space/A instead of holding it) to avoid hitting the top of the bounding box.
Thank you for playing!!!
Graphics, gameplay and audio are amazing. The only problem was that I died a lot of times for no reason at the place with the black enemies, but overall great game!
Thanks, we posted a comment about this bug that hopefully helps!
The gameplay is a lot of fun and fits the theme well. The music and audio sounded good, but it seemed to break for me after a bit, and it got really low quality. I really like the art style, but it does seem a bit inconsistent. I wish there was some guidance on where to go, because I got stuck after a bit. Solid game though!
Thank you! We're hoping to update after the jam ends to fix some of the issues
Good job. loved the music
Thank you so much!
Very well made as a game idea and design, fun to play good job!
Thank you!
Graphically very nice. I loved the sound getting more layered as it went up, gave a nice sense of progression.
I really loved the touch that dashing makes your FOV smaller. This adds some risk/reward to it that I appreciated.
I would have liked a better indicator where exactly I was in the world. The light rays were a bit of help, but somehow it wasn't has useful as I was hoping. I think the shadow cast could have been greater, maybe?
It also took me a while to realize that brown blocks could be landed on. Maybe there's a better way to teach or visually indicate this?
The place with all the black monsters, I kept dying for no reason. Maybe they have some ability I don't know about, or it's just a bug. It stopped me from progressing further though.
Overall great work. Really fun, chill game!

Thanks for the solid feedback! We're hoping we can flush it out a bit more and update it after the jam ends. We posted a comment that should help with the bug you're experiencing!
I think this is a very well done take on the theme. I like the art overall (the animation of dying mushroom made me giggle), and the level design is good, too!
Thanks! We appreciate the kind words.
Cute game. I love mushrooms, so def a win.
Who doesn't!? Thanks!
I love the fluidity of the animations, it is hard to believe this was made in 7 days.
Thank you, it was hard work!
I love the graphics ! very beautiful..the animations when u unlock the key are so awesome...giving minecraft chills... pretty well use of the theme!
Thank you! The Minecraft comparison is an honor!
