The climbing system is really good. It felt very easy to use while still requiring focus to not accidentally mess up. The mushroom sort of blended into the background a bit -- perhaps giving it some more contrast would have been helpful to make it more obvious?

The first mushroom I found was worth 11 points, which I'm guessing is pretty low on the value scale, and that felt like it took quite a bit to get to. I wasn't able to get super far in, so maybe these came later, but it feels like there would perhaps need to be a bit more mechanics over time to keep things interesting in a longer version of this game.

But overall, this feels really nice to play, and has a bit of the "holding" simulation that reminds me of GIRPS, which was really nice to see.

Great visual style and the movement system is surprisingly deep, genuinely surprised this hasn't gotten more attention.

Fun and challenging! I'm not very good at it but I had fun trying to get as far as I could.

Good concept, and very well executed technically speaking, though play gets old after a while. Good stuff overall, our submission also followed a similar interpretation of the theme which is cool to see, though there are no collectables but you can construct your own robot : )

This game made me think about robots that climb and grab mushrooms.

It's pretty good.
