Interesting use of the theme, I like it. Graphics are nice, gameplay is well done (although I got very panicky trying to get them all to survive). Great job!

This is a very unique game and quite difficult. It was fun trying to remember all of the commands and execute them quick to stay alive. I think it might be a bit hard to get going as the middle mushroom dies quickly if you don&#039;t get a bigger border fast. I did finish the game but only used the grow commands since I could grow faster than the mushrooms died and feeding them felt like I was wasting time that I could be growing. It kind of reminded me of Atari graphics, which was cool.
