Synopsis
_The Wobbly Hoarder is on a quest for the perfect fungi!_
_Take control of a dedicated hedgehog tasked with gathering specific mushroom combos for a friend. It sounds simple, but here’s the twist: the weight of your haul directly tilts the hedgehog, making every step and turn an act of hilarious, wobbly precision!_
_Master the art of dynamic balancing by strategically picking up compensating mushrooms on the opposite side. If you tip too far, you lose control!_
_Can you master the balance, complete your combos, and conquer the twisting forest path?_
Game control
[W] [A] [S] [D] — Walk
Press [Space] to roll and quickly collect a mushroom.

It's a very interesting idea, it's a pleasure to play! So cute

Love the artstyle and vibe but the controls were a bit unforgiving (and I would have prefered if they were inverted when reversing). The idea of using the hedgehog spikes and rolling to pick up mushroom is very clever, liked that a lot! Also I love hedgehogs

it's a very cool game, I really like it, and the ezhs are very cute. It's a very unexpected and super implementation of the idea. However, I don't think it's possible to play for a long time because the gameplay is a bit monotonous.

wow！

A cute game with cute creatures where you can run and enjoy the animals.

Cute hedgehogs! It has really nice graphics! However, I noticed that when the hedgehog moves forward, it steers to the right, which is a bit frustrating. The objectives also aren’t very clearly explained, in my opinion. Overall, it has a lot of potential. Keep it up!

This game really gives me Animal Crossing vibes, haha! Such a fun and charming game!

Beautiful environments and I love the cute little hedgehogs. I found the controls a little difficult, but it is a jam game so these things are to be expected.. :)

Looks nice. It’s a pity there isn’t a web version

@khamekaze Thank you so much! We love hedgehogs too 💖

@koroleva-olya We made it in just a day and a half, unfortunately didn’t have more time to add more mechanics, thanks for the feedback!
LDJam user 28199410 Oct 2025, 19:00
@kaspjej Pick some mushrooms and bring them to the baby hedgehogs when your basket is full 💛
LDJam user 28199410 Oct 2025, 19:01
@einfach Thanks!
LDJam user 28199410 Oct 2025, 19:02
@blushingcrow The hedgehog collects mushrooms with its back, so sometimes it misses them this is because of the animation (

@rogaven We didn’t have enough time for this, thanks for the feedback!

Such cute hedgehogs! I love the concept, animations, and sound. The only thing is that the controls felt a bit clunky
stuckne111 Oct 2025, 12:14
Sweet graphics. I liked the game, but yea I kept dropping things over and over and it was hard to progress and keep all of the mushrooms. (I just had to give up on some mushrooms because they were close to wall).

ooh *very* cute, excellent music too. The gameplay felt mostly good, *except* for the camera controls. I think that held it back a little. But beyond that, the game-feel was good.
megalukes20 Oct 2025, 19:07
Very well done. The game feels very polished for the short amount of time we had. My only complaint was probably the camera, which made me a bit dizzy at some points, but other than that, I think it was a really good and fun entry, with very cute graphics. Congrats to everyone!

Game has a lot of character to it, and it's some nice chill gameplay. Music's a real vibe too.

Very cute artstyle.

Such a cute little hedgehog! I like the graphics and music of this game. It's very soothing. However, the camera control is a bit difficult to handle. I hope it can be improved!
I found the controls to be a bit frustrating; the movement is kind of robotic, rather than fun and wobbly like I was hoping for, and I kept dropping everything by rolling into a slight hill.
Also it's a bit difficult to understand the objectives.
Still, good showing overall, I could see potential in this idea.
