A fellow PICO-8 fan I see :p

This is really neat!

Really nice!! Thanks for adding a web version <3 it lacks some background music though :(

sthor726 2025-10-05 21:48

The poison effect is awesome!

@ira-baciu, you might need to turn the volume up. We had to balance between "audible at all on mobile" and "not intrusive/annoying on PC".

Great! But I would like to see a timer during gameplay as well.

Clever, would love a toggle for pickup/grab

damn another mushroom picking game with pico 8! Another very nice interpretation, well done to you.

nice game, i love the art

Love the audio, it gives a very unified vibe to the game. I also like the humorous effect when accidentally bringing a poisonous mushroom into the basket. I think maybe adding some details to the graphics such as shadows and movement/animation would improve the visual aspect of the game. Amazing work overall!

This art style is so cute and engaging.

Pretty fun idea โ€” I liked it :) Iโ€™d add a stage for checking the mushroom instead of giving the list of which ones to collect right away.

kaba 2025-10-12 11:53

@melomaner, Hey, I like that!

blackcat508 2025-10-12 19:32

cool and simple idea! I like the pixel art

bjornstenlund 2025-10-13 17:44

Very cute pixel art! I think it would be nice with a little more urgency, I didn't really feel any reason to accidentally pick up the wrong mushroom. Maybe there could be a timer? or maybe the mushroom could spawn and then despawn so you were a bit more stressed picking them up.

Never heard of pico-8 before, that was really cool! Nice job!

I love the Pico-8 and this was a short but very solid and enjoyable game.

shaggy 2025-10-18 09:35

Very cute I really like the 8bit feel of it! wasd movements would have been appreciated!

filgru 2025-10-18 10:35

Super cool game! I had a lot of fun playing it. I love the art and the effect when you bring the wrong mushroom to the basket is awesome! Well done!!

Wow! What a hidden gem! It really deserves more votes. The graphics are excellent, and the music fits perfectly. Even though the game is short, itโ€™s effective, fun, and entertaining. Sometimes less is more, and by keeping it simple, it becomes a well-rounded experience. I would have loved more levels, power-ups, or enemies, but not at the expense of the great quality it already has. Once again, good entry, great game!

Nice short game! I thought there would be more mushrooms of the same color but apparently there's only one for each.

jinda 2025-10-19 07:28

Cool pico-8 game! I made another mushroom picking games and I enjoy this gameplay so much, well done~

jin9310 2025-10-19 12:08

Not gonna lie, I am a huge fan of pico-8 and I have spent first half of this year just playing with it and was even considering to make a game in it for this LD (that did not happen). Great entry it is clear and nicely fits the theme. I love the touch of the goal being incorporated directly into the play-field! Plus you have the timer to beat how fast you can make the collection! Great job, I love it!

rol 2025-10-19 17:51

Really love the art! Especially the one you get when you collect the mushrooms you should avoid. It might be better to have a UI showing the accumulated time to make the game more intense. Still, a great game!

marudziik 2025-10-21 08:55

The game is awesome. Short, playful, fun. The music is pleasant. The gameplay allows for optimizing time, so there's competitive aspect as well. And yeah, I'm biased because of PICO-8 but it's just fun.

I loved the effects when grabbing the incorrect mushroom and I appreciate that the mushrooms are randomized so the game is quite replayable. It's funny because when I collected all of them (including the bad ones) I managed to be even faster than when trying to get just the correct ones. ๐Ÿ˜…

What would make your game even better for me is if it showed the timer on the screen. That way I would know if I have a change of beating my previous time.

Anyway, awesome entry. Congrats!

Simple and effective! I played quite a few times and managed to get to 27 seconds. Well done!
