We'd like to hear what scores you've recieved! My highscore is 4124, but I've hard from a few friends they've been able to get as high as 7313!

2962 for me -- I got a bit stuck on the 3100 bar and burnt 5 turns against it trying to optimize my previous bad decisions.

Fun concept, well executed, and I was enjoying puzzling it with a cozy vibe and chill tunes

I got 2686 on my first attempt.

I think you managed to implement the theme quite well with your game. Well done!

I love this type of puzzle games

I love mushrooms and games and you combined both to a very nice game - I enjoyed playing! I had some struggles with the small screen and scrolling with the mouse so sometimes they placed a bit random but I still had fun and reached in my first round a high score of 3135 - I'll definitely try again! Thank you! 🙂

Managed to get 1747 score but I was never really big on card games. It was fun to play with nice art and music and I really liked the mushroom faces, they were cute

Neat game! I think the idea was great!

I was sort of missing a reason to play a second time, I got ~3000 score and I had a good time, but I think it would be nice with a grade next to the score or something. I assume that it is infinite and therefore a grade feels a bit strange maybe, but now I'm left a little bit in dark if I saw everything.

Also the growshroom was bugged for me. I think the reason is that my first round while still having no idea what I was doing, I played a growshroom next to a 0 shroom. And for the rest of the game every growshroom I placed gave 0 points. I started a second game just to see if the growshroom would work this time, and it did. So the thing with the 0 shroom is really me just guessing what happen the first time.

Anyway, I enjoyed it! Well done

I really like how mushrooms can have different personalities.

I got to 2576! I really liked this. The combos between the cards were really fun to figure out, and there were a couple a-ha moments that made me laugh (the doublers double negatives!!). Working your way deeper down the board was a cool interpretation of the theme mechanically, and the mushrooms were a really cute visual interpretation. It was a really nice balance of improv and planning that tickled my brain. Great entry, thank you for making it!!

Cool game concept. This was a very enjoyable experience for its scale

astoeth 2025-04-09 20:25

5590 ! It's fun, and could easily be expanded with more varieties of mushrooms, i really liked figuring out the best placement for multiplication combos, well done !

civ92 2025-04-09 21:02

Relaxing and engaging game. Mechanics are cool, combos are nice. The game is also well polished, with more time, more mushrooms or different layout could have added some variety as we go deeper !

Really chill mushroom game! Very cool :)

This is the type of game that I really like, having to really think what is the optimal play and how to get the number to go up. First run was mostly just learning how the game is played and all the different types of mushrooms so the score wasn't too high (2745) but this one goes to the list "games I'll get back to after playing more submissions".

Really calming and nice game, would like to see where this would go if you're going to develop it further!

Great game, i can see myself sinking some time into it in the future. Everything worked nice, graphics are good, and sound feels fitting - and the gameplay makes you really think to get deeper! Overall a great entry!

This game is SO GOOD. Simple in its concept but there's so much actual depth (ha ha) to it, and the mushrooms are so cute, and it's really fun and chill to play. Great job, this is probably one of the first games I've played this LD that I'd actually buy and play if it were a fully-fleshed-out game.
