Hello,
We appreciate your feedback! Our artist did do traditional animation for the cutscene. Our artist will be happy to hear you enjoyed their work! Glad you liked the ball mechanic too; we were looking to give the game a fun physics-based way to control the player. Hopefully we can refine this and the camera to make this project better.
For not being able to feed the mushroom, did you have trouble finding the mushroom, or did it just not let you feed it? Hopefully we can resolve that as well!
Thank you for your time!
