A a game about the force behind the life of a mushroom, and how to control it.
Goal: You need to consume all nearby resources, using the life force of the mushroom to survive and spread. Resources you consume gets sent to the mushroom. The mushroom converts the resources into enrgy, that gets distributed to the life forces after a time.
Controls: You select a force with left mouse button. Move it with right mouse button. Select and apply an action to the force using the 3 buttons in the top-left corner of the screen.
GUI: In the top-left corner you can see how much energy the selected force has. The 3 actions are in order: nothing, dig walls, dig enemy mushroom. And you can also see their costs in energy.
Top-right buttons are: Restart level, exit game.
Thanks for playing my game! :)
Please ask if you have any questions.(Or if the controls are unclear.)
Update: Windows build added! (Will try for Mac later)
Yet another plant game. Just kidding. I've seen many plant games, but not one with a mushroom.
Graphics are simple, yet straight forward.
What took me a while were the controls. I didn't realy understand what these green dots are until I accidentaly clicked one and found that they are controlable.
I was a little disappointed by the food/water not flowing through your mushroom-roots(is that even a term?).
Besides that, this game is an interesting take on the plant grow genenre. I haven't see it this way before. Perhaps with some finetuning and clearer graphics for the levels this game could become something I can imagine to play. I already spent more time on it that I thought at first.
Look me a while to see the energy up in the top left corner; those are really small dots. After seeing that things were much smoother. Additionally it took a while to produce more energy which in and of itself isn't bad, but the game didn't really indicate what was happening. The game is cool and quite unique, but it would e much better with some more direct feedback to the user (something as simple as a progress bar to show energy conversion would help a lot).
What a cool idea! It would however be better to have clearer controls. It is almost impossible to see which action is active. Some sound effects could also support the usability.Somehow I stuck in the third level without any energy left. It is not 100% clear what produces enough energy to survive. Very good work. Could be a really cool game when redesigned with better ui and maybe sound.
By clicking on a force it already costs energy? So i was switching between buttons and that already caused my energy to be depleted. Seems like a fun game, but I can't really get the hang of it unfortunately
