Mechanics

Trees and mushrooms will drop seedlings when they die (the particles and color of the mushrooms and trees indicate their status: green = healthy, yellow = low health, red = will son die).

These seedlings can be used to plant more mushrooms and trees. Trees can be planted anywhere, but mushrooms can only be planted where a tree has died (due to a bug it is impossible to collect seeds from a dead mushroom planted by the player, so just gather the generated mushroom seedlings).

The goal of the game is to stash 30 seedlings in total, despite it saying 50 in the beginning of the game.

Known bugs

- Medium and small trees/mushrooms may overlap with big trees/mushrooms.
- Big trees/mushrooms may be passable.
- Action keys not responding when pressed (press twice).
- Mushrooms seedlings can not be placed in some circumstances.
- Wrong Z position of the mushroom when is placed.
