Mushroom Maskers is a Covid-19 awareness stealth game that aims to educate and familiarize children under the age of 15 with the basic concepts of masks, social distancing policies, washing and cleanliness, and the dangers and preventative measures of exposure and infection, in a fun, non-scary and proactive manner.

A group of forest critters have started consuming sickly mushrooms on top of their favorite pizza slices!  Embody a young ninja as they push through fungus-infested, mystical realms and infatuate the foul-breathed locals in order to thwart the spread of toxic shroom spores.

Our Jamming the Curve submission is a tutorial that demonstrates the basic stealth mechanics of the game. In future development we would like to create a system for randomized modular level design for endless replay-ability, and further develop the ninja characters.
