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 
  • Spelkollektivet - for being a perfect game dev living place to be able to focus on making games ^^

  • Me for surviving a solo game jam :')
  • 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)
