The Squirrel!! is attacking you! yes its true, your my shroom, MUSHROOM MAN MUSROOM MAN.
Great game, looove the art. maybe a future light-hearted souls like in the works hmmmmmmm..?
I noticed the pickups stopped working, and i figured out that they are spawning but they immediately get picked without tallying the bonus. if your on the ground and look up at the tree stump top you can see which pickup gets "picked up" appear briefly, hanging over the boss door area almost. the fix i used was to give distance to the spawn area of the pickup by giving max distance to the Spread spore prompt and for good measure walking backwards straight away, the pickups had time to spawn and this removed the issue of not getting pickups. maybe its consuming the pickup and removing before it can run its code or something? i dunno but you should be able to replicate it!
Also I beat the squirrel but I was left with a repeating spread bar filling up! no ending!
I loved this game, its genuinely great and charming.
