Gameplay: Fungus II (C64) by Bitmap Soft (2021)
The Game:
Fungus 2 is a previously unreleased sequel to the original Fungus game released by Players Software in 1986. Karl Hörnell and Bitmap Soft have worked together to bring you this exclusive and official release. The game is an arcade style game represented in an elevated 2.5-dimensional graphical perspective. Along with the ability to move left or right across the landscape, you can also move up and down the screen as well as jump up onto ledges and over gaps. To complete each level, you need to collect all the mushrooms and return back to your starting point within a given amount of time.
Along the way, Fungus can pick up bonus bricks to increase the score points and use teleporters to reach otherwise inaccessible areas. Unlike in his first adventure, Fungus has prepared himself with a pistol to help him see off some of the more difficult creatures that he cannot avoid. If Fungus comes in contact with a creature or falls off the island into water or down a chasm, then he loses one of his three lives and respawns back at the starting point.
