A puzzle game where time moves when you do. Find your way up the twisting trails of the mountain!

Always free to play in the browser, here or on the PICO-8 BBS. If you are enjoying the game, I would appreciate your support with a download!

Cultivate

Plant, destroy, grow, and spread mushrooms to control trail doors. Discover the unique properties of each type as you progress.  

Solve

Use multi-purpose items to find a way forward. Use the shovel to clear a path, create fertile ground, defend yourself, and more. Push crates to make barriers, bridges, or a safe path through a patch of deadly, poison mushrooms.  

2 Paths, 2 Goals

Choose from 2 paths of unique levels with different goals. Fill all plots with common blue mushrooms on the blue path, or with deadly, poisonous red mushrooms on the red path.

Adventure Awaits

Both paths lead to the peak. Discover and solve new challenges until the very end!

Enjoy

The trails aren't easy, but you are empowered. Quickly undo any number of moves or deaths. You are not timed, or punished for mistakes. Reset or skip any puzzle from the menu. You can always backtrack and solve skipped levels. Freely switch between paths with your progress saved for both.

Features

  • 3+ hours of handmade puzzles
  • 50+ levels spread between 2 paths
  • Adventure at the peak
  • Quality of life features such as undo, and skip puzzle
  • Original soundtrack

Really fun. Great visuals and audio as well.

What a cozy little puzzler.  A lot of polish and rewarding puzzles.

Great ending! Found all shuttles, I think (Unless there's a super secret sixth one).

When are the walkthroughs a thing?
