That's cute and relaxing! Quite a cool environment too. I bet it'd make for a good puzzle game with some rules like only push each rock once, or with some switches in for advanced mushroom collecting.

Oooo I love this artstyle. Super nostalgic. Nicely done with a short time frame to develop!

@maytch thank you and yes, you're right, I had a hard time deciding on the scope of the game, and so there's not much to do...

@lrdjj Thank you, I'm happy because my initial ambition was to use this palette and also to pick mushrooms in peace in the forest.

love that this creature is shoving huge boulders out of the way just to get to some (exactly 10) mushrooms

I really liked the game. It was fun exploring the map and finding mushrooms. I like the interface, graphics, and pleasant sounds!

Yes, PICO8, already a plus!
Actually, everything is just great here. I'm totally biased - fair enough - but I enjoy every aspect of this. The palette works very well, the clouds look awesome.

I had to find a way, btw. To "loose". Took some work, but doable. :)

Anyway, congrats on the entry, very well done.

Love the graphics and vibe! The movement was a bit slow for my taste, but I appreciate the somber quietness of the game. The mushrooms also have a lot of character!

@marudziik yep i thought some players would probably like to keep pushing blocks after collecting the mushrooms. Congrats for your rocks dungeon !

@surf-croc yeah as he says he is not very good at sports

What an atmospheric entry! It manages to capture the slow, chill forest exploration vibe. Love the details, too, like the mist effect and the story for each shroom. Can't wait to show everyone my completed collection! 🍄‍🟫

I love pico8 games. One day I'll make a game like that.

Congratulations!

Sweet game, not very gamey in the sense there is not way to lose, but works for Animal Crossing so who am I to argue.
Its a cute little world you have there for sure. Particularly liked the dithered clouds. Completed my 'shroom collection.

Such a cute and wholesome little game! It’s simple but really fun~ I love your distinctive pixel art and the thoughtful map design! I think having a matching BGM would make it even more relaxing to play.![Snipaste_2025-10-13_21-31-40.png](///raw/50e/36/z/6f59f.png)

I absolutely loved the vibes here :) The writing was so charming and full of whimsy, the GB-style graphics were gorgeous, and everyone can use a reminder to please be kind!

I also weirdly *loved* how pushing a rock over the path would dig up the path - It was ridiculously charming to me in a silly way. Great job :)

Really love the art style and graphics here. I wish there was more music </3

@koolruz If only everyone would be kind... thank you
@eloc yeah music is my weak point and as I always do it last because I don't want to do it well.... you know...

The graphics made me feel nostalgic. It felt harmonious to walk around looking for mushrooms. It was a pleasant experience overall. Nice game! ^^

Nostalgic and cute aesthetic - love the sprite work! Could use maybe more game mechanics or tricky hiding spots - make the collecting more like a puzzle! The addition of music could greatly enhance the already great atmosphere! Impressive work with such limited resources.

@bacontree @a4po Thank you both... at the beginning of the jam I just wanted to go for a walk and grab some mushrooms and then I said to myself that it still lacks interactivity, there should at least be a little something to do and I implemented the rocks to push... and I didn't really think about puzzle games but yes it gives me lots of ideas to put more "game" in this game

Lovely and cute little game mushroom picking game. Nice graphics and the SFX fit quite well. Some music could be nice and perhaps some other small game mechanics could be added. Great work on the game!

This game has perfect scope, it's perfect with the theme, delivers a complete and satisfying experience. It's a perfect game!

I just gave this 5/5s across the board. =)

Cool to see some of these effects on pico 8. I'm quickly learning that I really did not understand anywhere near the limits of pico 8 in doing my jam.

The game plays well. The movement speed felt a bit painful to me, but that might say more about my taste in games than this entry. Atmosphere felt great. The disparate area types and how they were interconnected was really well done.

Yay, PICO-8!
Stone arrangements could have been a bit more harder to get through but overall a nice and relaxing game. Managed to find all the mushrooms.
Good job!

@kuggenhoffen @tolja i agree it's too light... but I had a hard time deciding which direction to take during development and here it is

@zliebowitz @stephenwhoskins thanks a lot you're so kind

Nice game! I really liked the graphics and UI, nostalgic palette and the clouds were a great touch also animations felt good as well. The only thing i really wished for was some soundtrack along to the mushroom picking :). Thanks for sharing!
