Take a gentle stroll in the woods and hunt for mushrooms.

{ About }

FORAGER was made as part of the A Game By Its Cover 2020 jam, based on the 2020 entries for the My Famicase Exhibition.

The entry that I chose was FORAGER - by Austin Breed. Except for creating the original cartridge image, however, Austin did not commission and wasn't involved with the creation of this game. Although I hope they do enjoy it, if they ever play it! (Post-mortem here).

v1.1 fixes getting stuck in areas pre-speedshroom and adds mouse sensitivity options.
