Great puzzle game! The first level was surprisingly harder than expected, messing up the first move, and I can't complete it unless I reset. Didn't had that for most of the other levels
Achie this is such a fun game! It really put my brain to work! I liked reading your blog posts about the development of the game as well. It turned out in such a little loving project that was just a delight to play. Thank you so much for participating and I cannot wait to see what you will do in the future! <3
What a delightful PICO-8 puzzler!! Really enjoyed the cleverness of the mechanics and “easy to understand, hard to conquer” nature of the puzzles. Great complexity ramp to ease the player into harder levels! Well done!
Such a fun and enjoyable game! I really enjoyed the aesthetics and game mechanics. The bright colors and picking up the shrooms in each forest put a smile on my face. The gradual addition of plants becoming trees to help change navigation was cool. Lots of fun mechanics - great work on this!
Thank you! I’m really glad you like it! Hopefully I can update it with more levels/progressive saving!
