The Fungal Cave
You are the local Toxicologist and have been hired to create an extremely deadly poison made from the rare Golden Bloodcap mushroom. This mushroom, however, can only be found deep within the fungal cave. A dangerous cave filled with treacherous rock platforms, painful brambles, and bouncy pink mushrooms. Being an expert in mushrooms, you found a way to use them to your advantage, by forming them into a bouncy mushroom ball!
Venture into the fungal cave and navigate the dangerous platforms. Bounce on your mushroom ball to navigate large gaps and distances. Watch out for the brambles as touching them could send you falling to the bottom!

Awesome game! Love the visuals and sound animations, the ambience is great too; I'm pretty bad at platformers so it took a while to get to the end but it was a worthy challenge!
I wish the controls were a little tighter and more consistent, but other than that its really really well designed. Its like jump king but not too much like jump king
Amazing game! The visuals and audio mix so well together, and climbing instead of going horizontally makes the game really challenging, as you just fall down to the start if you make a mistake. The controls are really slippery for me as i am only used to the original Mario Bros, which just adds to the difficulty. I love it!
Thank you glad you enjoyed it!
