Fungus
_Fungus_ lives on a floating island in space living a peaceful life with one
problem, the only food he eats is mushrooms and they are found on other
islands nearby. The problems with these islands is that they are full of
various creatures who don’t like their mushrooms being taken and the fact that
_Fungus_ can’t stop running while on them. You control _Fungus_ with the game
viewed from the side at an elevated angle with the screen scrolling constantly
from left to right. You can move up and down the screen as well as jump over
gaps while avoiding the creatures and obstacles as you collect as many
mushrooms as you can. If you touch a creature or obstacle, as well as fall of
the island on the edges or in gaps then you lose one of four lives and back to
the start of the island.
Before you play the game there are various options that can be selected and
you can select an island (1-7), a choice of four creatures that you must
avoid, the difficulty (1-3) or the colour of the islands. You use a joystick
to control _Fungus_.
