This is a very interesting game and not like any that I've played so far during this jam. I got stuck quite a few times after forgetting the different combinations but I enjoyed the overall atmosphere of the environment and I thought the music was very effective at creating the feeling of uncovering ancient knowledge. A very cool and unique experience. Nice submission!

Nice game and assets! I was very distracted by the chanting in the background, but I enjoyed seeing the mushrooms grow!

Good game. Looks real good, and a good interpretation of the game theme.

Very nice Shroom Game!
I don't know it I did something wrong or if the Game bugged for me, but no matter which combination of Plants & Shrooms I planted (combined with the specified Fertilizers), I was unable to acquire the 7th plant even after trying out every single possible combination of said components, here's a lil "graph" I've made whilst trying to find that plant:

Interesting game.  Pretty nice visuals.  The constant chanting was a bit much but still pretty good game!

Was surprisingly fun, but was pretty hard to keep track of the combinations and evo paths. Really enjoyed the plants popping up around the room when you collected them! Couldnt get past 6 plants.

Nice. i liked watching the mushrooms grow.

Really cool game i liked concept of growing stuff and it must of been difficult to create all those 3d models in 7 days.

it would make my day if you could check my game out but if you cant dont worry.

Great game, the graphics, models and feel of the game are realy great, also the concept of growing stuff is realy cool. just wish there was a download of the game since I prefer that over webGl, but that's probably just me.

amazing game. keep it up♥

Interesting game. I didn't really get the point but the graphics are awesome. Great job!

Ahh. a fellow mushroom game.
I like the weirdness of the mushrooms/plants themselves. But i ran into the problem of never getting those purple spores i needed for the first objective, instead just getting all sorts of other spores to plant, so i just didnt see everything there is.
Besides that the only two minor "bad" things about this are (imo): the talking-like noise being there all the time in the background, couldve had it stop at some point i think; and the camera movement - it was kinda nice at first, but having it move all the time when just looking at the book or when waiting for the plants to grow is just a little too much unnecessary movement

This is a really cool concept! I love how you evolve a bunch of different plants from one mushroom and the book helps you along without just blatantly telling you what to do. The graphics are also really nice. My biggest problem with the game however, is that it takes a long time to grow plants so there's a lot of waiting with nothing to do. I would suggest halving the time or even quartering (I think that's a word) it. Unfortunately I accidentally wasted my last purple shroom and got soft-locked before I could unlock the lantern plan so I couldn't finish the game. But what I did see was really cool!

Like it :)

I like that you made everything yourself, especially the mushrooms and their textures. The music was really nice and fitting. The only thing is I wish I could speed the mushroom growing process somehow.

Yeah, i aggree with you about the slowness. Honestly i have noticed it myself during playtesting but i didn't have enough time to add another mechanic to make it more interesting.

Mushrooms ftw! Music is eerie and mysterious, making me curious as to what these mushrooms will lead up to. Keep it up.

Developer

Thank you, it was a lot of fun making the chanting for the game. It is actually from a Lovecraft book

I find the game slower but other than that, I love the idea, the graphics and the sound!

Developer

Thanks, and i aggree

I didn't manage to understand the game at all. I felt like it was too slow. I liked the idea and graphics, though.
