Mycologist Mixologist

Entry for Pirate Software Game Jam July 2024. Theme: Shadows and Alchemy. I chose to focus on this game by not reinventing the wheel, but with things that I'm challenged with personally like level design, overall world-feel, and interesting mechanics. I hope you enjoy.

Pay your Penance. 

You must grow mushrooms and create elixirs to pay your daily Penance to the elder Octopus.

The player enters a mysterious world where they have to find out their daily Penance. To fulfill the Penance they must both grow mushrooms in their planters, and concoct elixirs at the mixing station with the required ingredients.

The player will embark on either finding mushrooms and elixirs scattered throughout the world. Destroying enemies will also give drops the player might need. There is a mixing station to create Penance required elixirs and a planter station where the player can grow more mushrooms. The player will then fill the Penance container with the required items and after the player walks away, they will be accepted if they are the correct items.
