This is a really neat puzzle platformer. The later levels were pretty tricky to figure out, and the overall presentation was charming. Great job!

The platforming mechanics are nice. Solved a couple of levels by picking up the underlying mushroom immediately after jumping :D

I love this little creature that moves so fast, some platforms are hard to jump on, very challenging and fun! (BTW, I also have a jam work. If you can have a try and leave some suggestions, we will be very grateful! THX! :smiley: )

Fun game! I wish there was input buffering but overall solid experience. The soundtrack is nice, the mushrooms are well designed and the movement is fun. Great job!

I liked the game!
As others have mentioned, some jump buffering, coyote time, better acceleration / deceleration curves would have gone a long way in making the experience more enjoyable, but even so, the music more than made up for it.

I also liked the art, although, yet again, some proper scaling in Godot (Viewport / Canvas Items) would have helped a lot. I have a 2k monitor and the game was way too tiny to play without proper scaling.

Despite all of that, I really liked the puzzle, and, again, the music was amazing.

Really fun little game - I think you had one level where you needed the absolute maximum jump distance though. Couldn't get past it. Something to consider - I remember learning that lesson in Uni D:

A very simple platform game, love the movement speed! The art also is simple but so good!
Also It's always nice to see a game made in Godot!

This is a really charming platformer, I was surprised each time a new mechanic was introduced, like the speed boosts and the extra-long purple shrooms. It must've taken a lot of effort to get all that done for the game jam.

The art is also really pretty, and the music and sound effects are really sweet and work well for the game.

I really like this game, great work!

This is a really charming puzzle platformer! I loved how each new mechanic, like the speed boosts and extra-long purple mushrooms, kept surprising me. 🎮 The art is beautiful, and the music and sound effects fit perfectly with the gameplay.

While some of the later levels were pretty tricky, they were definitely fun to figure out! Overall, fantastic job, your hard work really shows! Keep it up! 😊

Good amount of mechanics and content! Really solid entry, had fun shrooming around. I noticed one pro speedrun strategy: you can pick up spring mushroom while you jump on them, so you can carry them everywhere you can jump, trivializing some puzzles completely.

A very immensive puzzle platformer, the jump feeling is weird sometimes but overall it is well-made.

Interesting Puzzle Platformer with some neat gimmicks. Controls are snappy (maybe a bit too much, a little bit of acceleration/deceleration would probably make it feel even better), you might just maybe add Coyote Time, it makes especially the parts with more speed easier and more forgiving. ~~Also, I managed to Softlock myself by accident (twice), which obviously can happen in this kind of game and in this short period of time, but I would appreciate an option to reset a level with a button or some sort of that.~~ Still, its a cute and fun game!
Edit: Just read the description, nevermind the comment with the reset button, my bad.

Hey, I really like the settings and the puzzle mechanics. Gave me a lot of fun during a break :)

The slug felt really slippery while playing, which made jumping on shrooms a big hassle, considering you often have to pick up and replant them. However the variety of mushrooms and the puzzle design itself was nice. Maybe I just have an aversion to platformers. Plus I really liked the graphics.
