Begin your mushrooms collection, you have to collect 10 mushrooms in the woods. Move with the arrow keys, you can push rocks. There is no enemy and it takes you at least 5 minutes. C to see your collection. Made in 72 h for the Ludum Dare 58 with PICO 8.
That's cute and relaxing! Quite a cool environment too. I bet it'd make for a good puzzle game with some rules like only push each rock once, or with some switches in for advanced mushroom collecting.
Yes, PICO8, already a plus! Actually, everything is just great here. I'm totally biased - fair enough - but I enjoy every aspect of this. The palette works very well, the clouds look awesome.
I had to find a way, btw. To "loose". Took some work, but doable. :)
Love the graphics and vibe! The movement was a bit slow for my taste, but I appreciate the somber quietness of the game. The mushrooms also have a lot of character!
What an atmospheric entry! It manages to capture the slow, chill forest exploration vibe. Love the details, too, like the mist effect and the story for each shroom. Can't wait to show everyone my completed collection! 🍄🟫
Sweet game, not very gamey in the sense there is not way to lose, but works for Animal Crossing so who am I to argue. Its a cute little world you have there for sure. Particularly liked the dithered clouds. Completed my 'shroom collection.
Such a cute and wholesome little game! It’s simple but really fun~ I love your distinctive pixel art and the thoughtful map design! I think having a matching BGM would make it even more relaxing to play.
I absolutely loved the vibes here :) The writing was so charming and full of whimsy, the GB-style graphics were gorgeous, and everyone can use a reminder to please be kind!
I also weirdly *loved* how pushing a rock over the path would dig up the path - It was ridiculously charming to me in a silly way. Great job :)
@koolruz If only everyone would be kind... thank you @eloc yeah music is my weak point and as I always do it last because I don't want to do it well.... you know...
Nostalgic and cute aesthetic - love the sprite work! Could use maybe more game mechanics or tricky hiding spots - make the collecting more like a puzzle! The addition of music could greatly enhance the already great atmosphere! Impressive work with such limited resources.
@bacontree@a4po Thank you both... at the beginning of the jam I just wanted to go for a walk and grab some mushrooms and then I said to myself that it still lacks interactivity, there should at least be a little something to do and I implemented the rocks to push... and I didn't really think about puzzle games but yes it gives me lots of ideas to put more "game" in this game
Lovely and cute little game mushroom picking game. Nice graphics and the SFX fit quite well. Some music could be nice and perhaps some other small game mechanics could be added. Great work on the game!
Cool to see some of these effects on pico 8. I'm quickly learning that I really did not understand anywhere near the limits of pico 8 in doing my jam.
The game plays well. The movement speed felt a bit painful to me, but that might say more about my taste in games than this entry. Atmosphere felt great. The disparate area types and how they were interconnected was really well done.
Yay, PICO-8! Stone arrangements could have been a bit more harder to get through but overall a nice and relaxing game. Managed to find all the mushrooms. Good job!
Nice game! I really liked the graphics and UI, nostalgic palette and the clouds were a great touch also animations felt good as well. The only thing i really wished for was some soundtrack along to the mushroom picking :). Thanks for sharing!

@lrdjj Thank you, I'm happy because my initial ambition was to use this palette and also to pick mushrooms in peace in the forest.
Actually, everything is just great here. I'm totally biased - fair enough - but I enjoy every aspect of this. The palette works very well, the clouds look awesome.

Anyway, congrats on the entry, very well done.

@automatonvx thx…you’re right it’ s really light about game stuff to do…
@asieke thank you

This game has perfect scope, it's perfect with the theme, delivers a complete and satisfying experience. It's a perfect game!
I just gave this 5/5s across the board. =)
