This is a local two-player game where both players compete to collect mushrooms that will be used to craft an exit-door to win the round. Players can also win a round if the opponent loses all their health from touching poison mushrooms. Players must craft two 'Exit Orbs' before they can craft the final 'Exit Door'. HP and Speed bonuses can also be crafted. All crafting must be done at the 'Camp Fire' which players must battle for control.
Crafting chart:
- Mushroom A x5: Heart (+1 HP)
- Mushroom A x10: Exit Orb
- Mushroom B x5: Speed Bonus (Speed x2 for 30 seconds)
- Mushroom B x10: Exit Orb
- Mushroom C x5: Spore Magic Spell (Turns most mushrooms into poison)
- Mushroom C x10: Exit Door
When a player uses the 'Exit Door' they win the match and receive 5 points. When a player loses from poison (0 HP) their opponent receives 1 point. After a match ends, the scores are saved and a new round can begin.
