I mean it's hard to know what to say... you did it. You made the happy mushroom-eating game and nothing is wasted. If you'll allow me – the mushroom-quaffing game. The door opening sound maybe didn't need to go that hard, is my only criticism.

Developer

Haha, I did wonder if the door sound was a bit much, but I decided to leave it! Thank you for playing :)

Wow it was trippy :) I didn't know you could make a game like this on Pico-8. It's quite something. I like how the tiles change with grass and mushrooms grow everywhere as we walk on the  map. The acid trip effect gave me a little nausea but it was cool :) I didn't complete the game though. You mention a tree we need to hug in the description but i couldn't find tree of any sort.

I like the creative idea and the cute Pico-8 look. I also like the trotting sound effect of the rainbow pony :D 

Developer

Thank you! The tree is in the center of the map, behind many meters of solid dungeon wall (your character starts in the top left). The idea is that once you're strong enough, or the map has eroded enough, you can tunnel through the walls to reach it :)
