The Witch & The 66 Mushrooms (2020)

"The Witch & The 66 Mushrooms" is a charming exploration-focused 2D action-adventure game developed with Pixel Game Maker MV. Players take on the role of a brave young girl, armed with a magical hat and a determined spirit, venturing into the perilous Witch's Labyrinth. Her mission is clear: reclaim her brother's stolen body from the clutches of the malevolent Witch. Navigate expansive stages, utilize a diverse arsenal of weapons like knives, swords, and hammers to vanquish enemies, uncover hidden secrets, and, most importantly, collect all 66 elusive mushrooms – some of which require specific conditions to appear, adding a layer of challenge and rewarding exploration. The game boasts visually appealing pixel art enhanced by Pixel Game Maker MV's particle effects, bringing the world and its inhabitants to life. "The Witch & The 66 Mushrooms" earns its place among the best games by Gotcha Gotcha Games (formerly Kadokawa Games) due to its strong implementation of Pixel Game Maker MV. It effectively demonstrates the engine's capabilities in creating engaging 2D action experiences. The game stands as a prime example of what can be achieved with accessible game development tools, showcasing creativity and polish in its design and gameplay. The inclusion of game assets as a bonus further reinforces its value, providing a resource for budding developers interested in learning from a successful project made with Gotcha Gotcha Games' own engine.
