Really charming artstyle! Think there is a good foundation, even though I wasn't entirely sure on if there was a win condition to the game, very cozy!

Creative idea. The game is so chill, the art style is very unique, and I love that I have an army of mushrooms. Still, near the end, maybe I played badly, but spiders appear very quickly for me to try and do the signal again. But overall, I love it. Nice work!

Wow, this game has incredible graphics! I really love the vibes and animations. The gameplay is also interesting, although it's hard to figure out what to do at first. The icons depict mushrooms, but you have to interact with more than just mushrooms :)

Great job!

Fun little game, I was drawn to it by the little mushroom artwork which I thought was cute! I wasn't sure if what I was doing was correct or if I'd reached end game but I had grown 3 stumps and all ears seemed to be connected. I read that there was a spider threat but only saw 2 the whole time and they seemed to flee from me. The atmosphere and artwork were really good. Nice work!

I LOVED this. Great idea to make a Pikmin-like for "signal".

Very nice art style! The game looks interesting but I couldn't figure out what to do appart from making some ears and mushroom grow

Gorgeous game. Had some trouble understanding how the ears worked, so I wasn't sure if there was any strategy to it besides just activating everything.

The game has very beautiful design. The gameplay is very enjoyable and meditative, but not intuitive. However, once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to complete the game in one go; it's addictive!

Honestly, it was absolutely awesome! The music is seriously magical, and they did a mind-blowing, beautiful job with the space.

The only bummer was when that mean spider ate the poor little mushroom—I was genuinely so upset! 💔😅 But aside from that tiny tragedy, I totally loved the whole experience!

Mushroom Pikmin! Really lovely art and overall atmosphere. Was easy to pick up what was going on and what did what from the visual feedback. Cute little game, good job!

I really enjoyed this entry! Games that want you to experiment and explore how the basic mechanics work are some of my favorites, and this one handles that very well. Great work!
