Use of the limitation
Players will be stuck in a continuous loop of upgrading their mushroom units and sending them off to destroy the environment for energy which is used for upgrading. The gameplay loop is simply looping between upgrading and tackling the forest. The Wacky Mushroom Witch is also stuck in this loop, but she is also stuck eating mushroom soup for the rest of her life due to her Super Wicked and Wacky Mushroom Summoning Technique providing an endless number of mushrooms. At least YOU aren’t stuck in a mushroom soup eating loop (I hope)!

What are cookies? I only eat mushrooms now.

I really enjoyed it, the concept is pretty interesting. The only downside is the amount of content and the game time (I realize this is due to the time limit on game jam). I will recommend my fellow teammates to play it too :). I even want to give some suggestions:

-Maximum quantity is OP

-Diversity of enemies

-Big boss coming out of a big mushroom.

-When you destroy everything, you're just stuck there waiting until you realize you need to go back (I realize you can figure it out quickly, but it would still be nice to automatically go back)

-2x speed button, especially before you can get your hands on an army of mushrooms

This is fantastic, it has a really satisfying power curve and it's not too grindy to progress.

This is a fun little game! I would suggest adding a fast-forward feature, or different speed settings. It would also be nice to be able to buy more mushrooms faster (waiting for the counter to tick up to 100 takes a while)
