I feel like all it needed was an ending that really tied it together and gave it more narrative purpose and a balatro-style background! Nice job.
I am happy to say that according to this game, I am a master florist. This is a cute concept and wonderful execution, and I think it is impressive that you made something of this style that isn't too easy.
The visuals are awesome but what makes the game great is that it feels really complete. I like it a lot. It also only took a minute to understand fully how to play and what the goal was so it is designed well!
This is a really unique game idea and I love it! Feels like a full finished game and is crazy for having been made in so little time. I am terrible at it, though!
I have yet to actually reach the tower, still trying, but this is a great game! Awesome job. You definitely nailed an unsettling vibe that I enjoy, haha.
I think my best was around 50 seconds! Great job on this, it's a cute idea and it's really easy to understand and play. I like the sound effects and the music.
You could add to it if your mushroom becomes a matchmaker after finding your match. You could help the other mushrooms find theirs, haha.
Love that it's 2.5D!

Also super happy to be the 20th person to rate your game, nice job guys!
I really like that we're playing it on a 3D tv. It wasn't immediately obvious to me that I could go up the stairs.
I got the worst ending possible, lol. But I had fun playing! I think the only thing is that I would like it if the player had a little more control over who is chosen at the end.
Really awesome once you get the hang of it, great concept and great execution!
For me its just a gray screen no matter how long I wait after pressing start, on the alt web build it said this: WebGL context lost Leaving a comment so I can come back when it is working! Bopping music at least!
The art is beautiful, but what's impressive is the concept! The very definition of finding something charming and simple that works really well and perfecting it.
I love it! I have terrible coordination so it is quite funny looking for me to scramble while changing the mode of attack despite it being such a chill game. The aliens are charming!
The main menu is cool, and the game really captures the mood. I think that the difficulty needs to increase a little faster or you might lose some players' attention before it gets good.
This was super fun to play! It feels like you're inside of a children's storybook. The ending was unexpected, lol.
I had fun! Always looking forward to days at the docks where boss sez it's just moths!

Genuinely love it, it's a great concept and there's a lot of directions you could go with it if you wanted to make it a bigger game! Favorite one I've played so far.
@tanjou Thank you so much! It's not really a bug, we were on the fence about whether they should or not. If they were a collectible that was a certain number, for example 0/3 on each level, we would have had them persist. Instead they're more of a "high-score" where you try to get as many to the end as possible. Someone has already joked that they are a "0 acorn squirrel," haha.
@lizelive My idea of what a skull looks like when I'm sleep deprived, haha!
@nyxkn You can hide in the logs to avoid the owl and the lightning.
@JynxAudio I totally get that! We would've added more sounds if we had more time. The bird noise is the bird from the beginning who told you he would warn you of dangers so it's a chickadee! Owls don't make noise when they attack. Thanks for pointing out the thunder, it's always hard to tell if something is too subtle!
@fabelay hide in the logs to escape the lightning and the owl!
@ansible
It triggering immediately when safe is a great idea that could really improve things! Thanks for that.

We're hobbyists but would love to make this a complete game, I'm not sure when someone is no longer considered a hobbyist at that point, haha. But this was my first time and Allison's first time doing a game jam and out of all three of us, none of us have ever finished or published a game unless we count Paul's Ludum Dare entries from when he was in high school. I've been drawing pixel art since 2019 and I've been programming since high school and have always wanted to make a game. Thank you for the kind words!
You were right that our games have similar vibes! Yours is crazy impressive for being made by just one person though. Love the atmosphere and the thought that went into this.
