Very nice aesthetic and its evolution along with the music and dialogues is also interesting. The game is kind of buggy though, after feeding it a few things, it starts taking multiple spacebar presses to grab things, and at some points I put something into the mushroom and it takes several seconds to process that I actually threw something at it. Also, I think it would be better if you didn't post that second screenshot, in order to give more surprise. The "cute horror game" part is more than enough I believe.

love the mood of the game and the cute aestetic(until the twist haha), the concept is simple but so wel execute, the way the mood change with the music and the evolution of the mushroom is really good, i love the ending scene, it's ending this little narration perfectly and with style, its a really good entry, i like it a lot, godd job!

Well this is beautifully crafted and I like that it has an actual ending where that mushroom gets really nasty hahaha Cute graphics, Animal Crossing Vibes. Good job!

wischi 2020-04-23 14:51

Wow such a great game, and very polished.

appix 2020-04-23 14:56

beautiful graphics. Are developers playing Animal Crossing friends recently?

Gosh, this is cool! I encourage everyone to play to the end.

So many nice details to this: - The day / night cycle. Subtle enough to not notice initially but just right. - Just as I started questioning my actions, the game rewarded me. - The dynamic music is super-good.

My only gripes were that it was difficult to aim sometimes... I'd see the Space button UI but pressing it wouldn't do anything. It also gets a bit tedious sometimes feeding the same items to the mushy.

Overall I had a great time with this. Congratulations to the team on getting so much atmosphere into this.

What an interesting game!! It was the perfect length for a little abstract game such as this. The space bar was a bit buggy, but if that wasn't the case this would be a smooth little experience. The art style was really great. Loved the dialogue boxes and sounds. Really great job!!! :blue_heart:

Great! I love that game. The cutscene at the end is a very good idea. Typical gamejam games don't have cutscenes.

nsadie 2020-04-23 18:31

Interesting game! I loved all the little details you put in! I named my mushroom Audrey!

paul-giovannini 2020-04-23 18:54

Thank you for all your comments and your feedbacks ! We are glad that you loved our little game <3 !

bastinus-rex 2020-04-23 20:08

Yeaaaah thank you very much all of you !! <3 <3

littlemiky 2020-04-23 22:50

Oh, your art is amazing, and the concept to shake cute and horror game is very clever ! I like it, good job !

bodaciouslycrazy 2020-04-23 22:51

@paul-giovannini @bastinus-rex @julialalart The art and animations are absolutely gorgeous! But for some reason, the game doesn't really function at all for me. Pressing space to pick up things only works like a tenth of the time. And the mushroom doesn't seem to actually eat anything I gave it. Am I doing something wrong?

As for the spacebar: Are you detecting player input in the FixedUpdate() loop? That might be causing the game to miss inputs inbetween frames.

bigquacko 2020-04-23 22:53

One of the best games I've played this ludum! Found picking things up with space a bit difficult at first, but I think that's my only gripe. Loved the graphics, music and atmosphere/theme of the game. fantastic work!

kyakune 2020-04-23 23:03

I'm sorry but the input of space bar didn't work for me. So I watched the spoiler video and this horror concept is interesting but so horrible ! Especially congrat for for the evolution of colours.

alex-karev 2020-04-23 23:06

That was awesome. 3d, animation, shaders everything looks so great. Really enjoyed playing it

pattedecanaard 2020-04-23 23:18

Graphics, musics and mood are excellent ! The controls are good but sometime the space barre don't work. The game is polished and very pleasant to play. Bravo !

stefenism 2020-04-23 23:19

This is legit one of my favorite entries so far. That child is legit strong enough to carry a tree and straight up looks like Caillou. A+ reminded me of little shop of horrors.

paul-giovannini 2020-04-24 06:51

@bodaciouslycrazy @kyakune, thank you for you feedback and your help, but the issue doesn't come from FixedUpdate... We are really sorry that you can't run Amanita ! We are currently investigating why our little game doesn't work on every devices. Be sure that we will let you know when our build will run for everyone ;) !

cadstor 2020-04-24 22:12

This game is so cute! I like the music and effects. The gameplay feel relaxing i really like it :3

solweak 2020-04-25 08:06

"I fed a mushroom : GONE WRONG !"

Really nice atmosphere transition, the cutscene is neat :thumbsup: !

mirsakka 2020-04-25 12:12

Hahaha oh nooooo! Wow! Great idea and story in this game and visually very well put together. :mushroom:

harry-alissavakis 2020-04-26 10:18

Had to watch the video to see the full playthrough cause it just would not eat the bushes! Nevertheless, really nice concept, lovely twist and great work with the audio too! Well done!!

spacialseasoning 2020-04-29 15:31

Great game! I liked the art, and I didn't run into any problems.

sugarsores 2020-04-29 21:25

YOO! I was like "oh humdedum, what a sweet little game. I love helping my mushroom friend" by the time I started noticing things going wrong it was too late!! What an amazing presentation and high level of polish on this game. Great work, seriously!

hernz 2020-04-29 21:28

But I didn't wanted to feed him... you made me you monster D:! The graphics are cute and pretty nice, the small planet effect is well done. The gameplay is cool but a bit repetitive. The mood is top noch ! I love the change of ambience when the thing start to really grow. Good job !

huitre 2020-04-30 01:50

Wish I could play the whole thing, he didn't eat the trees I gave him :( ! The start was really cool! Watched the video after, that's super fun, well done! Ooh and for next time, you could put some controller button too, it's super simple with unity!

togimaro 2020-05-01 14:24

Really great art and funny game! I really loved the changing mood and the audio! And great interpretation of the theme

Good job!!

morriekken 2020-05-01 14:31

Yes, this a game with a twist :) Even thou I expected the twist, still I enjoyed it. I could've been little bit more variation on tasks but considering it was made in one weekend it's a lot a game.

convg 2020-05-02 18:31

Damn that was insane. I didn't even realise the world was being destroyed until it was too late, so by then I just started giving it the people like nothing even happened lol. Nice work, really well presented and polished.

frank-gevaerts 2020-05-03 17:11

Looks nice, but like some others I had to look at the video to see the full game. For me the "cover" of the mushroom didn't actually show, and it didn't accept trees, also, there were some big slowdowns whenever "it" said something. Could be bugs in the linux build I guess...

paul-giovannini 2020-05-03 18:05

Thank you for your feedback @frank-gevaerts! Indeed, it could be a linux issue because we have not tested it. In order to render the mushroom, we used a beta of a plug-in call clayxels but it doesn't look really stable yet...That the reason why we put the video, in order to let people know what the game should look like, thanks for watching it !

animaster 2020-05-04 10:02

@paul-giovannini in my playtrough it didn't accept trees too, but only at first, then i keep placing a lot of trees near mushroom, and it eat all trees in a second, not sure what triggered it. Then i completed game like normal. I liked it a lot, love the graphics, music and mood, very polished game. Good job!

yxmx-rsx 2020-05-04 22:58

I love the art and the overall game is fairly well polish. Good take on the theme. Overall, a solid entry!

bastinus-rex 2020-05-05 16:30

Wow l love this game woaw !
