Is there mush-room for this one?
Merge, grow, and master the magic of mushrooms! Dive into the Land of Mushrooms, where enchanting fungi come to life! Combine a delightful array of mushrooms, from the elegant Parasol to the flavourful Chanterelle, as you skilfully drop them into the pot. Connect identical mushrooms to watch them blossom into magnificent, larger fungi. But beware of obstacles like bombs and discover the magic of the rainbow mushroom, enabling connections with any mushroom. This is a casual game where players are tasked with merging mushrooms to create larger and more enchanting fungi. The goal is to keep the pot from overflowing while navigating around obstacles and using special items to your advantage. Can you keep the pot overflowing with joy or let a mushroom spill? It’s time to blend, merge, and cultivate your mushroom masterpiece!
Land of Mushrooms is perhaps a misleading title for what’s on offer here. Essentially it’s a game where you drop mushrooms in a pot and try to stop it overflowing. Matching mushrooms will turn them into different, larger mushrooms which makes things harder, but matching them again will make them disappear. It’s essentially a more simplistic version of Candy Crush as you only need to match 2 mushrooms to make them blossom.
The problem is that the pot is incredibly small and your typical run lasts a very short time. It also doesn’t help that the controls feel a bit stiff, but the real issue is the lack of content. Besides this mode, there’s a two player mode and a leaderboard system…that’s it. There’s no variety in the modes so you will become fed up after just a few goes. I guess I don’t know what I expected from a game with such a small price tag. But it essentially looks like an old Flash game, which in 2024 is pretty ludicrous.
The Verdict
Land of Mushrooms has the basic of modes and isn’t all that fun to play. Its visuals look like they were made in Flash which doesn’t even exist anymore. Unless you obsessed with mushrooms like Mario, then I’d avoid this one.
