Ha this was neat! I kept summoning them and then enjoyed jumping up and down with them all together.

I AM THE MUSHROOM KING!!!

Even though it was just a small room with two spawn points for the mini mushrooms, I had a really fun time playing around in here seeing how many mushrooms I could get on screen at once.

I would recommend adding collision detection to the summoned mushrooms the same as the player character (that could start to get crazy on the system with too many of them) because if you summoned a few without moving it was almost the same as just calling in one, because they covered each other up. Same thing if you moved all the way right then they would just overlap one another.

It would be awesome to call them and collect them then manipulate the movement to stack enough of them so you could jump off them, or build a bridge with them, or any number of other gameplay options.

Overall, a fun time and solid entry. Great work.

Interesting character with an interesting ability 🤩

It took me a while to figure out that I had to hit Enter to use the ability

This is awesome! I like how cute the lil mushroom guys are. I would definitely recommend putting in a HUD that tells the player how to use the ability though, because I literally clicked every button on my keyboard to figure it out. Tried clicking the mouse too. 

I'd be interested to see a full game where this mechanic was useful! I imagine it would replace the heart/hp system, and when you're down to your last baby, it grows up to be a big mushroom and then you start over maybe?

Dang! I thought I was the Mushroom King. I think your strategy is way better than mine.
