Mushroom connects by fcpfoof

made by fcpfoof for LD30 (COMPO)

You wake up in a forest. You are asked to save all worlds. To do this, find a magical leaf in Heavens.
What make this game related to theme is that a button in a "weird" world can change stuff in the normal world and vice-versa.
Very boring and quite short. I had not many ideas. But I have written it from scratch in Java, no external libraries used.

Nice game! I like the graphics, specially that the main character is so skinny. The mushroom world is greate with all the animated tiles.

Graphics are pretty good for 48 hours. Level design is great, keep up the work.

@Druid: just open jar file with WinRAR/Zip or your any favourite tool, there you can find midis ;p. Or you can just download the source ;)

@other: thanks a lot ;D

Excellent graphics. I didn't think this was boring or short.

I liked the colorful art style. Considering this only took you 48 hours, it is quite good! Nice work!

Pretty interesting. It'd be cool if the two worlds were a bit more connected, so things like islands in one world corresponding to something else in the other world.

Fun game, but man are you right about the graphics warning. I'm usually fine, but I feel a little nauseous after that lol. Good theme and fun game though. I definitely got lost during the mushroom worlds.

I felt like there was a little tooooo much path retracing, but aside from that I really like this. I love the character sprite and how he's still flat when he's sideways.

The main character is lovely, good job! :)

A solid entry, and the music is neat! I didn't really enjoy the trial-and-error nature of the mushroom world, but did beat the game.

Cool game! I got so much of an Earthbound vibe from this game, and then when I ate the mushroom.. Was that Moonside? haha, awesome either way! The music fits well with the genre, but you should consider playing a different tune in the mushroom world(something distorted, or just the main tune backwards maybe). The graphics were ok, but why was the dude so flat when seen from the side? :P
Nice work! :)

Nice maze. The part with the multiple portals are a bit agonizing, but it wasn't too punishing thankfully.

I have to admit that I wasn't too much into the "puzzle" section in the weird world. The flat character is cool though!

Cool game! I included it in part 27 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/DOSk1bi234E
