But my lazy ass eventually found a pattern where two ripe acorns would consistently drop in one spot and generate a single mushroom. I needed it because a green acorn would drop there once. Eventually, I reached about 100 acorns and didn't see the point anymore, since there are no levels and, as far as I understand, there's no ending as such. Adding some humor to the mix would have been a really cool computer game :)","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1188145,"author_name":"PatUwU","author_uid":"patuwu","epoch":1761233046,"text":"Simply lovely!

Clicking deez nuts became a bit tedious after a while but I guess it's just me. When I see them becoming ripe and knowing I couldn't click them all, made me nervous xd.\nMan, this game is unforgiving... You could give the player more lives maybe.\nThe music is also great!
