Defeat slugs wanting to eat you and your Time Tree by controlling your army of Mushrooms!

Every 10 Seconds, 3 cards will appear through the power of The Time Tree. Pick 1 and use it to power up your Mushrooms/Hurt those evil slugs!!

Controls:
- WASD to walk.
- Left click to apply your active effect (bottom right corner to see active effect).
- Walk over a card to collect it.

Disclaimer: The tree and rocks were modified from premade assets, so don't consider them when voting for graphics :smile:. Everything else was made by the team.

How long can you hold back the slug forces?

Cute mushrooms. Slugs could die faster, otherwise it's pretty cool!

I loved this game! super fun and cute

Very fun game, well balanced! Loved how the mushrooms would have noticeable changes when affected by cards. The way to show time was also original.
Nice work!

I love the mushies! They are adorable. I really like the aesthetic of this world. It feels like it has it's own ecosystem and story. I feel like the gameplay is a bit slow though. That might've been intentional (I realize we're fighting slugs and the theme is every 10 seconds), but I feel like there isn't much to do if the only mechanic is placing power-ups. I'd like to join my fellow mushrooms rather than just watch them fight from the tree.

I felt emotionally connected to the mushrooms and the tree as a result of being in first person mode. My only gripe is that the shrooms would wander into the distance sometimes, leaving me high and dry from other angles. overall, great entry!

Really nice graphics. I like shrooms and snails. Music theme is also nice it didn't make tired.
Too bad a didn't feel the need to protect the tree. At first I also thought that tree is not harmed at all. There should be some indicators. Also I think bomb item is OP :D

Great game !! really good concept. Got stuck in middle for a while but figured out the way later. Awesome work for a limited time jam. You shoud go with this concept further. Please do check out my submission as well.

What a fun concept! Sadly the camera seemed very zoomed-in, which made me a bit disoriented. The graphics are so cute though, I could cuddle those mushrooms all day ^^"

It's like tower - hmm... - tree defence with mushrooms. I like the idea, sound and the atmoshere of the game. Wonderful work guys!

Cool game! I like how both of us went to games where you control and influence your units :p My units all ran off and I got overwhelmed by like 25 slugs lol the bombs could only keep them back for so long.
