we may not have come in first place, but we finished the marathon. I had fun, learned a lot and we got in on time. Sounds like a win!
Interesting concept. It seems to be a little ambitious. What's there is nice though! Good work.
The game's missing a lot, but the mushroom growing mechanics are rather nice. I think you could've done a lot more even with limited time if you ignored the enemies, the walls, the plots, and the character, and just had a small environment for throwing spores and growing mushrooms (check out Viridi for an example of what I mean). If you're limited on time, try and adust your design to account for that, focus on fewer mechanics, don't spread yourself thin.
I'd have really liked to see a small first-person spore-firing, watch-giant-mushrooms-grow-from-tiny-spores-over-several-minutes thing.
nice game
