Mushrooooooom

From a Single Mushroom to an Entire Planet

Here you meet a rather special fungus on this planet. You have no enemies, and no one needs to be killed — all you do is help her grow. Wherever a spore lands, mycelium grows from there; it produces resources, and the resources turn into more mycelium. The entire map is waiting for you to cross mountains and seas and explore it.

Different Layers, Different Ways to Play

As the mycelium spreads, you unlock five ecological layers one after another, each offering its own twist on how you play:

• Nursery: the one you already know — click it. I mean, give your little mushroom a pat.

• Land: map painting, pixel by pixel. I've always thought this kind of play suits this subject.

• Water: the spore sac is your message in a bottle — let it ride the currents around the continents and wash up, wherever chance allows, on a new shore, a new colony.

• Underground: lay down hyphal cord nodes and let them link up on their own. Wire the whole underworld together and push nutrients through it.

• Atmosphere: call up a spore typhoon to blanket a huge area in one go — and let your gaze turn higher, too.

You Are Not Alone

As your run goes on, the planet starts reporting news about you — from trivial neighborhood notices to major stories that change the whole world... What you wield is growth, is reproduction. But what do you bring to the world?

Finishing Is Not the End

Once you've finished the whole run, you can press the button yourself and sow your spores out into the universe. One run is not the end — meta progression and tougher New Game+ planets are still out there, waiting for you to unlock them one by one~
