Thank you for giving it a try! =)

Sadly we failed with game rules discussion so I just had to add something in the las hours I were able to work on it. The idea is that the island is composed of a grid with rules for mushrooms to grow. The “junk” (or “flowers”) is food - mushrooms grow faster there. We wanted to make a game about a spore-virus however the initial build was boring so I just tuned it up a bit with “mutations” (faster mushroom grow) and added some humor from the post-soviet 90-ties era and added a boat to escape the island before it is fully occupied. I guess if I make it less fast-paced with a larger terrain, a dynamically shaped collider for the mushroom grid and a random extraction point - that may ineed be a nice game. Thank you for playing anyway! =D

Both options are win conditions. Your choice - whether to fight it or not. Thanks!

Well, mushrooms are radios because of Perestroika in the USSR like 32 years ago. It was a joke on the official TV and many people believed it since at those time there was only one trusted official TV. So the moral story is.. Do not trust everything you see, especially the mushrooms.

Thanks for the jam. =D Becoming a mushroom is not really dying. Like.. Well, you know, many people in history were actually mushrooms. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenin_was_a_mushroom

TBH Had to invent the game goal at the last moment so.. Balanced all I could out of it.

Burning out his roots up there alone

Tre trippy feeling was the idea. =D Well, then you missed the fun of becoming a mushroom. It’s not like the player becomes dead while becoming a mushroom. Just.. Different. Colorful and glowing. Thank you for playing =D

Thanks! Yeap, we wanted to make it fast-paced. And I did not want to make it too long - 40 seconds is enough for a small jam game.

As we all are since 1917

Thanks! =) Yeap, the game intention was to drop a bit of panic on the player.

Thanks! =) Yeap, with each mutation the mushrooms “levelup” starting to grow faster with a random drop of “food” for mushrooms (those dots make the mushrooms grow faster). I guess it would be fun to make a real mutation for mushrooms in a game like this.
