Brainless Bloberinos
A simple puzzle game I entered into the 'Back to the Beginnings' Game Jam back in March of 2023. The theme was 'Reverse Evolution'.
I was fairly happy with how it turned out, although I never got the chance to add background music; hence the static (Which I tried to pass off as ambiance lol).
Anyway, thought I'd upload it here, cause why not.

Story:
Luna was cursed by a cheecky witch to never be able to stop running in a straight line. Help her gather all the magical mushrooms for a ritual to clense the curse once and for all!

Each forest is it's own little puzzle, can you solve them all?

Hello! I'm not sure where to put this? But...I am getting this error and i'm not sure what's wrong?
Syntac error line 24 (tab 0)
If poison=9 then poisoned=true end
'Then' expected near '='
Here is my code I am working on...
function _init()

This is my first attempt to create a playable game/gameplay loop while learning Lua and Pico8! Mostly an exercise in problem solving given my very (very) beginner knowledge, without using outside code or premade strategies.
Arrow keys to navigate the menu, x to select, and z to restart or redeal when prompted.
Enjoy!
