People have said we're crazy for making a game like this, but we love it.

Ever level of Shroom and Gloom is created with 1000s of layers of illustrations. Don't think folks understand how fun it is to building a world this way!

For what it's worth, we have already added some accessibility tools to help prevent motion sickness. You can dial down (or remove) screenshake and head bob when walking, or lock the camera during combat.

Thanks for sharing the game with your friends!

Thanks so much for the share!

Why do you say you can't do first person games? Motion sickness?

We will forever love @itch.io for building a platforms that empowers devs to do this:

Nathalie Lawhead @alienmelon.bsky.social · 3d

i didn't know this but on your itch account you can see all the bundles you where in!
the total sum of money made for charity over the years (only that i participated in) is...
$9,748,184.49
and that's only what i was part of!
imagine how much more the site facilitated that went to various causes.

If you're into the colours you'll probably appreciate the later levels in the game. Things get more psychedelic the more mushroom spores you inhale!

Team Lazerbeam @teamlazerbeam.bsky.social · 4d

Stop! These are too cute!

Thanks! Dev view looks surprisingly cool right?

Thanks for the encouraging comment!

Here's how we handle the player camera to make sure they won't see things getting broken if they look all the way to the side of the screen:

What happens when the player looks down?🍄✨🔮

Last week some behind the scenes footage of our game went viral. We got heaps of comments from people wondering if players could see between the thousands of hand drawn illustrations that make up our world.

Sharing a few more seconds from the 2 minute art test we made during pre-production on our game.

Before diving into development, we spent a solid month on this art test, looking at how we could elevate the visuals for Shroom and Gloom. It was a major investment in time, but incredibly worthwhile!
