Nice game! I enjoyed trying to grow bigger. I noticed I would go down in size when I got close to an enemy even if I didn't touch them. it may be a hitbox issue or maybe just an issue where I didn't notice when I took damage. I thought the scale in at the beginning was a really nice effect too. Great work!
Thanks for playing! You actually lose size when you shoot a spore. Perhaps we should have made that more clear ha ha
really cool game! you really sold the feel of scale, with the way the camera zooms out and smaller enemies being replaced with larger ones. the art is very impressive, especially the gopher burrowing animation ((: it’s a bit unclear how the scoring works though, it took me a while to figure out shooting pollen makes me smaller, and after defeating the tree i’m still not sure what the orbs around the character do haha great job though!!! please play our game if you get the chance
Visually stunning and a fun game. I don't know why but I wish the ants would rip me apart when they latch onto me.
I absolutely loved the art!
The camera was also really well done, it made growing much more satisfying.
The ending was a bit slow as it felt no more animals were coming, but otherwise it was a really great game!
Nicely designed game. Shooter where you try to get close to your targets. When you grow it's easier to take hit so it ballances your powers.
Great job! The game is fun, I loved the diversity of enemy types! And it's nice to see someone else who took the theme in a mushroom direction :)

I had a fun-gus time with this game!
Nice! I liked the artwork and the progression felt good!
Only minor thing is I got a little confused at the end since I didn't notice the health bar and thought I needed to out-grow the tree. It was definitely clear once I started shooting at it noticed the health bar
I think I got a pretty good time on my second run though 😂
Very cool game, i'd like to see more if you decide to continue :)
Fun game and great pixel art style!
Fungi-aim...sorry, fun game! The art by Eldritch Frog is great, the sound fx by Silent Crystal Tears was solid although the music was a bit underwhelming (think the menu music was a bit better), and the programming and design by Alchemy Bats was very good. In terms of keeping with the jam theme, this is one of the better concepts. Wish you had more to do and could just keep getting bigger until you're fighting wolves and shit but I'll take what you got ;P
Cute little game!
Nice game. I like the idea of using your size as a bullet.
I think the tree health bar should be more visible. At the end of the game, I spotted it.
Maybe pointing it in the tutorial screen. Also, I think the character has too many live points. I didn't die once.
And maybe the player can hit the tree when he has some size. I sit near the tree and I'm hitting the tree all the time gathering bullets from easy enemies because I was small.
Very interesting design decisions; the idea that using ammunition would reduce your size but at same time necessary to consume more things was brilliant. Also great enemy diversity ദ്ദി（• ˕ •マ.ᐟ
Unfortunately it's not working for me, all the images in the tutorial show up on top of each other and I can't click the button. Love the story though!
That's strange! Could you tell me what browser you're using?
I'm on Firefox. Maybe I should try it in Chrome? I think I can see the button in the bottom right corner but I can't click it. By the way, really nice graphics! Here's what it looks like:
Yeah the other person having trouble is using the same browser. If you want to play it, I'd switch to chrome
Oh unfortunately i think it s not working for me. such a shame because the game looked so fun
Oh that's odd! Could you tell me what browser you're using?
*sigh* I should have known it was Mozilla striking again :(.
Yeah without knowing anything else, my guess is its a browser issue but I'll have to keep that in mind for next year and test it on multiple
To be fair, few people still use Mozilla ... especially programmers :)).
Just to help out, I was using Firefox as well and experienced no issues.
Well now I'm extra confused lol two Firefox users can't play it but at least one can. Debugging is a lot easier when there's some consistency lol
Yea I thought about that after I commented haha. I actually just checked now on my work laptop on Firefox and I encountered the issue the others did. I can check when I get home if the Firefox version is different or something.
Edit: Ran on Edge and the issue persisted. Did you update the game in any way? Very weird.
We can't modify the game at all until the judging is over, so we're stuck with it sometimes not working for now. I used a webgl template to get the game to scale properly so maybe it only works for chrome
Weird, I definitely ran it on Firefox at home, I don't have Chrome.
Idk then lol I'll have to do some research before next time.
Love the art but it could use a bit more juice, screenshake, particles, and more impactful sound effects go a long way, good job
I agree! Next jam I want to really focus on those little things that add a lot
Really cool game concept. The art is also really good.
Game is very fun although i got stuck at ~8cm for a while because i didnt notice the tree had a healthbar
