I love the feel of the plane when I'm flying. I don't know if it was a glitch or a time but I found that if I dropped the pesticide I had to wait a moment before being able to drop more. As a serial missclicker I had some difficult missing mushrooms due to that, but I am sure for the non-misclicking folks out there it will work fine lol. Very enjoyable.

The controls as written were a little confusing, but once I started playing I got the hang of it lol. I loved the music and the parallax background, the only thing I think would have been helpful at the beginning would be seeing an example of what the different types of mushrooms looked like.

Flying feels really satisfying, and the visuals are good. I had fun once I understood what the game was about but like the commenter above said the mushrooms are a bit confusing. Do you think you could make the window on itch.io bigger? That'd be a good compromise for me between full screen (text bug) and the way it is now. Good work!

I even got it working with my arcade fight stick (well there wasn't anything to 'get working' it just worked) and I loved the controls and graphics in this. All of the graphics are super polished and the post processing is particularly classy. The plane controls fantastic and I love how the plane moves and feels. This is a great entry thank you!
