I found the shroom (and the ending comics)! Fun game with very nice visuals.

The game has very nice visuals. I really like the menu that is made in the game and the opening cutscene. In the introductory cutscene could be described somehow tutorial to let the player know what to do with the elevators. The player character doesn't have to be so big. If you zoomed out the camera a lot more like in some platformers, the player would have a better view of where he is jumping. Platforms don't have a platform effector on them which means the player gets stuck on the side of the platform which makes it very difficult to control and the movement is not fluid. Unfortunately, I didn't finish the game because of the pixel-perfect jumps. Great job for a first game. Everything I've described here are just little things that are easily fixable and will make your games better in the future.
A little developer note: The game in its current state is not completeable as intended due to lack of time for playtesting. However there is one "mechanic/exploit" you can use to reach the finish...
Here is an overview of all the controls:
Left/Right arrow keys or A/D - Walk left/right
Up arrow key/space - jump (space is also used to change the current intro slide)
E key near a mushroom panel - Put electroshroom in/out of the elevator to make it move forward/back
Pause menu is there, but the buttons did not get implemented correctly, so they do nothing. To exit the game before finish, press Alt+F4 (very intuitive game mechanic if you ask me).
Dont forget to remove the mushroom before exiting the elevator.
PS: When you reach two elevators that are just way too high to reach normally, press Space + Up arrow key at the same time to perform an unintentional "Super jump" that gives you tripple the amount of height. That way the level can be completed.
