Guys I have a problem, I'm addicted by the mushroom level, I don't think that it's a cheat, but the thing is that mushroom level don't make me feel rewarded by my effort, on my current game I got a Iridium Ring by fishing on the lake (I didn't even knew that was possible), managed to get a Prismatic Shard killing dust sprites, but yet I want to start another game without using the mushroom cave. Feels weird that CA patched a lot of things on this game, but decided to leave this exploit alone.
Yeah I got one that way, waaaaaaaaaaay early too. Regarding the rest...have you talked to Harvey about being addicted to red and purple mushrooms? He might have a cure... Joking aside, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I view the mushroom level as a nice bonus. and I imagine if CA took the mushroom level out there'd be a lot of complaining.
