Really fun game guys!

The game starts off difficult, after 30 seconds of gameplay it's impossible

Shroom damage is overtuned. Fun game overall. I love the look.

@niltonfirmo there is a reset button at the bottom right that will let you retry the level you are currently in if you want to try different summoning combinations without having to start completely over

Really fun take on the reverse tower defense genre. There's a certain amount of the game that is just finding "good" combos but even those seem to not last forever. I didn't realize my candles were limited until one ran out - really nice design choice to have them be limited resources. I made it to round 3 on my first try, mostly using QWERE. The best part of this game is the way you destroy the towers as you reach them - it makes advancing down the path really satisfying. It would be better if after making a new shroom type it gave me some statistics on what it does, and if there was a library that told me what they were. Thanks for the game, I enjoyed it!

@jason-shapiro thank you for playing our game! I really love the idea of adding a journal that populates after interaction with defeated mushrooms as well as logs the combos you can come up with as you find them.

I really like this game; it has a lot of depth for how simple the concept is. It's also a unique take; usually you're the one defending against monsters. This time you're the one attacking! I had fun.

I made it to the second level! But I dont think I could do that again, I felt like I was just creating random things... Actually I take that back I just did the second level. My strategy was to create a heap of QQWER until I ran out of Q and then switch over to WWERR and then finished with EEEEE and WWWWW. This strategy appears to work very well. I always love a good reverse tower defence style game. (I got my diploma of conjuring :D) Also that menu music is lovely.

I like the graphics and music a lot! The gameplay seems a bit dull however, while the idea is nice I had the most success spamming all keys as fast as possible and unleashing a huge group at once.

A good strategy, balanced, surprised that there are three cards. There was a bug with the fact that the health of the mushrooms was not fully restored when restarting.

I really tried the dance moves, but I found that spamming the keys worked better. :) Thanks for making the game.

I beat the first two levels. Interesting idea, however it's a bit tricky to figure out what does what as it seems like a really good strat is to make as many units as possible at a time, and when doing that you can't quite follow what each one is doing. But still very innovative, good art and design, fun and interesting game.

loved the idea of reversed TD, really fun. would be nice to show what properties the summoned creatures have, otherwise it's quite hard to understand what you are doing :). for example, it said that W is health but it combination it looked like it actually gave haste. so some clarity with that could help, since it's still challenging in other aspects
