Personal challenge
I given myself personal challenges during the making of this game so I could learn from it as much as possible:
- No Gen AI usage at all
- No third party assets
- Code it myself (with support of friends)
- No coffee/energy drinks
Credits & Thank you:
- horror ambience by Klankbeeld from freesound
- Fra32 - my bestie who helped me with debugging and creating logic while coding + giving awesome feedback + being a great rubber ducky
- 314isme - helping with making webGL build work + playtesting + giving me a soda while gamejamming

- And you for playing my game!
Submission to The Eye Jam 2!
Known bugs:
- Clicking left click makes the mushroom go towards you (you must hold left click instead to grab them!)
- There is somewhere a gap between the fence where I forgot to put in a collider, making you be able to exit the map (whoops..)
Planning to fix them all at the end of the game jam.
PS:
Write in the comments how many mushrooms you were be able to cook! ^^ (Pro tip: You can throw mushrooms! You also get bonus mushrooms from radioactive mushrooms)
