Agaric Abyss

Description

My game for Ludum Dare 38, In Agaric Abyss, you are a small mushroom creature in a small mushroom world underground, grow and spread mushrooms to journey to the surface. With your gardening prowess, you construct your own path forward!

There is one small post-compo fix in the compo version, that being I tweaked a few parameters to make the platforming feel less awful. To toggle back and see what the physics were originally like, press G.

Controls

Note: WASD and IJKL perform the same function as the Arrow Keys

• Move with LEFT and RIGHT
• Jump with UP or SPACE
• Pick up water droplets with DOWN or CLICK
• Infuse a held droplet with Spores with DOWN while standing on a mushroom cap
  
  • Infused droplets will grow mushrooms when they touch an appropriate surface
  • Infused droplets will lose their spores if they touch other droplets
• Aim with MOUSE and throw a held droplet with CLICK
• Water a mushroom with a held droplet by using DOWN while standing at its base
  
• Release a held droplet with DOWN while not near a mushroom
