This is a sleeper pick, I think with more user friendly controls, a shorthop, and a longer well paced map with more mechanics that compliment the ball bouncing and jumping mechanic this could be a triple A Foddian game. Please watch my VOD or youtube video when it drops because we came up with a lot of ideas and got really excited about the potential that this game has. Also the story is really cool. Scrap ludwig as the king on full release and maybe add in some NPC's like in jump king that could give u some story world building and it would be hella interesting to see where this goes. 10/10 (I beat the game btw)

I liked the game. It was fun when I got stuck between 2 thorns and flew back and forth between them. The sound effects are very funny, peculiar.
What an awesome submission - lovely artwork. I agree with some of the comments about limited mobility in air making it a bit too difficult but its still a pretty amazing game.
Really nice job, loved this! c:
The mood and atmosphere of this game are great and I love all the pixel art! The mechanics are very interesting, but I think this game is already hard enough and can do without the low controlability in the air lol but when you land those mushroom ball jumps it's so satisfying!
Fungal Cave is an incredible game with very challenging movement mechanic. It has a solid visual style and solid level design; mistakes are entirely the player's fault: very much a foddy. My only criticism can be overcome with a bit of getting used to; I feel like movement with the arrow keys also dictating the mushroom ball can clutter and confuse me, but again, if I got used to it I would be ballin'. I really like this game!
You made something so pretty in such a short amount of time. And the mushroom bounce feels so so so good! Fantastic flippin job!
I really like the visuals and the game feels really nice to play, but I'm bad and couldn't figure out how to get out of the 2nd screen tho lol
The game looks appealing and the core mechanic is intresting.
I would point out the long intro in the beginning, is there a way to skip it?
The overall mood and tone of the game is pretty incredible. The game is hard but fair. Honestly solid job on this. Games like this always remind me how skilled some game devs are.
Super fun game!
I love the atmosphere. The art is great and I'm a big fan of the color palette you chose.
I can get to the 2nd screen pretty quickly now after many tries! I figured out that if you hold the opposite direction while in the air, you can slow down your jump (it helps a LOT)!! It makes for a satisfying experience
Good job on the submission
Visuals and sound fitted really well, loved the overall game, maybe just my pc but think i had some input lag. Overall solid game!
