How does your game fit the theme?
It's a 2 player game where you both play as mushrooms. You must eat as much calorific food as possible to grow your character before moving to a phase two where you need to collide against each other in a classic platformer style to push each other off the platform. The larger your scale, the more impact your collide has but the less agile you are.

One of the rare multiplayer games I saw. Love the concept of a two-phase sumo match. Nice idea to have the players accidentally feed each other if their own mushroom was already full, but they kept jamming the conveyor belt button.

YAY its a 5/5 game

i wish i also could make my game that good

What a great concept. Makes counting calories fun. If I were to play this with like some couch coop this would slap s hard. Good stuff.

The first scene with the mushroom eating everything it can at top speed was so much fun. I imagined preparing the character for a fight between Japanese Sumo and having to knock the opponent out of the ring XD. The music complements the video game’s concept very well.

If you continue developing the project in the future, you could make the enemy chase you through the level; that would add a lot of suspense. Greetings!

This is a very cute concept, I enjoyed this a lot and can definitely see it as a great multiplayer game!

Developer

Thanks!

Me and my boyfriend enjoyed this game a lot! Thank you for making it

Glad you both enjoyed it :)

Fun concept!

I think this is a great small game to let your steam off :)

I would probably only wish for more freedom in the combat part, like crazy big jumps and melee attacks would fit so well here! Like your way of thinking though :)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback :)

Launching a whole chicken in to a mushroom's mouth got a big laugh out of me. Great entry!

Developer

Thanks!

There is something insanely addictive about taping that W button as quickly as humanly possible and make the mushroom eat. The music fits perfectly and so does the visuals. what's missing is a 10 second timeout screen explaining what we are supposed to do and what buttons to press. Rest it's all perfect and you made a menu complete with an exit button. Should have added a sound mute button too.  Anyways i hope you complete this game after the jam and add more levels and other exciting stuff. 

Developer

Thanks for playing. Glad you enjoyed it :)

The combat part is super silly and fun, but the mashing part could have a bit more variety

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Oh now this is just such a fun idea for a multiplayer jam game! The physics in the combat are just so silly fun to try and win with. If I had any feedback, it would be I would've liked a slightly shorter timer for feeding the mushrooms, as once we started mashing, it was basically 100% consistent to get fully stacked mushrooms for both of us, so it wasn't really food targeting strategic. Otherwise tho, loved this concept and had a very silly time playing it! Good stuff!

Developer

Thanks so much for the feedback! Yeah we definitely thought at the end there was some more balancing to be done throughout but just ran out of time πŸ˜‚ thanks for playing!

That was sick. My little brother and I had great time bashing into each other with our giant mushroom skulls. Nice game! πŸ„πŸ„πŸ„πŸ„πŸ„πŸ„

I tried playing this with two hands and my brain could not compete the platforming part. Mashing food into my mushrooms was quite satisfying though haha

Developer

Glad to hear you enjoyed the mushroom food mashing! 🀣 Thanks for playing!!
