  • Neat game! It's a little rough around the edges in some areas like the map design (Like in the tutorial there's an entire wall missing which lets you go out of bounds) but this holds a lot of potential and you should keep expanding on it. Nice job!

Did you include your Game Design Document in your downloadable files?
Yes

Tell us about your game!
A fast paced FPS with spreading fungal mechanics to progress in the game. Get ranked by how fast you destroyed fungal rot and spread your fungi!

WASD, Spacebar, RMB, LMB, Scrollwheel Exc opens MainMenu, R to restart level

I implemented the theme as an inspiration for fungi. As fungi spread with their spores, I decided to place the world on a decaying planet where a bounty hunter is hired to destroy the spreading rot. The bounty hunter is given good fungal spores (the Mushroom kunai and mushroom nade) to help stop it.

Did you remember to include your Game Design Document?
Yes

Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
Yes

Extra Notes
My dev's note:
Hi! I am Snow. I have been working in game development for just over 1 year now.
I have been mostly an artist through this time but I started to learn programming throughout this last year.



I ran into a few bugs that took about a week of dev time away from me and I was not able to polish a lot of the visuals, ranking system, playtest for fair rankings, etc.



I do, however, plan on continuing development in this game. Regardless of this game's status in the game jam I 1000% Intend on releasing this game on Steam for a small amount after it's been polished, balanced, etc.

I fell in love with this idea and am very passionate about this game. I do have a main project but I feel this game is a perfect small game to get my feet wet in actually releasing a game before my main project releases.

I hope you enjoy playing! <3 happy coding ^-^

I love the graphic design so much, but I find myself getting dizzy when playing this kind of game.
