Let the mushroom die!

Unity

"Let the mushroom die!" is a 2D platformer I developed in 5 days for the Brackeys Game Jam 2023.1.

The jam's constraint was "the end is a new beginning". So I imagined a game where death would be a mechanic to help you progress.

The player controls a mushroom that can be killed, then reused as a bouncy platform (since the mushroom's cap looks like a bumper).

You have to place your mushroom correctly to progress through the levels.

I tried to diversify the levels by adding all sorts of mechanics: keys to find, spikes, enemies, conveyor belts, underwater sections, and teleporters.

I made this game on my own, with the help of two friends (Léo and Lucas) to playtest and help with debugging.

The game was made with the Unity engine and is available to play on the web.

Play the game on itch.io
