The concept is really cool, but unfortunately your platforming was pretty clunky. I think there could have been more checkpoints and more precise movement, because I constantly felt myself having to go super long walks, only to die, go back again and place a mushroom, then go all the way back again to jump there. For the most part though the game is really creative and also looks and sounds pretty nice.

How does your game fit the theme?
This game is a die and retry. You can kill your character using the R key and use it to reach higher places.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I made everything myself from scratch, except for the bonus secret ending, that contains assets that I made before the jam, but it's just a bonus and it's not really an important part of the game.

Cool Game! I liked the puzzles and the gameplay, the movement is good and the collisions are fair, very fun indeed, just one thing in your math puzzle... I don't think it's a good idea to call people stupid in-game over an ambiguous operation.
Loved bouncing on the dead mushroom. Might have been a little easier if I could place several. Great game!
The using your body as a stepping stone is an interesting and cool mechanic, the game itself was kind of difficult for me.
I found this game really fun! The mechanic of using the dead mushroom to jump is really interesting and well utilized in the level design. I found the game a bit too hard, but it was still hugely enjoyable!
great game! Some background music would really improve the audio and the jump felt a bit floaty though.
Nice game. I like the idea of using the previous mushroom for jumping higher.
Nice take on the theme, this was a lot of fun to play. The controls were a little floaty but still overall a great job!
Dying mushroom mechanic works for the theme! Good pixel art on the tiles! I like the edutainment moment with the maths. I got the spikes, not the banana, of course. :-) I think the game works as it is, but you could add some pixel detail to the main character, maybe an intro to set a narrative, and finally, remove/replace the jump sound when the mushroom is swimming.
Fun game. The concept is interesting but I wish I could leave more bodies than just one. Also, I died multiple times in the air and the body just left airborne. Art style and sfx are great!
Realy nice controlls, the only thing I would fix are the floating dead mushrooms, when you die while jumping up on another mushroom. Great game!
I actually REALLY love this game! Everything from the art style, to the controls, to the sfx, to the mechanics, it was SO FUN!! You did an amazing job, this is actually my favorite submission :)
looool we had the exact same idea, but we executed it in different way, anyway your game feels good to play, and nice idea!
This is a fun and pretty well made puzzle platformer. I am really not good at playing platformers, but I did still have fun trying this game. Well done.
