Yep! It cool to see what you guys have been able to do so far. I've made a couple of runs, all have ended with me getting stuck/bugs trapping me, been playing on a bit of a potato computer though. Beat the last form of the evolving mushing boss, but the game wouldn't let me play anymore cards at a certain point to defeat his minions.
Likely not your computer - the prototype is currently a bit of a potato game right now, and a lot of weird stuff does happens in the second half of it. Working on getting it more stable!
I have the feeling that if they drop it on steam they will make so much more than the 100 dollars fee, maybe later on, cus right now the new version is … not in the best state in term of bugs, but I'm sure they are working hard and I know that game developing is really hard, but if they can fix it its gonna be worth a 3A game. The game jam version Is great, I cant stop playing it, the feeling you get from doing a combo that kills the enemies perfectly is great. I cant wait for more content
The first boss was monotonous and took an extremely long time to beat, since both of us were bullet sponges, then I quickly lost to the second boss because I made my deck more offensive. Also, it's "make a toasty mushroom", not "make toasty". What an annoying butchery of the English language.
If "toasty" is a noun (it's not, except in the context of this game), then the correct grammar would be "make a toasty", if "toasty" is an adjective (it's not, you are transforming a card into a toasty that's in your deck), then the correct grammar would be "toast". You stupid piece of shit.
Toasty IS an adjective, meaning: "Comfortably and pleasantly warm". You could say "toast mushroom", and that would indeed be correct. But by that process, the mushroom is literally made toasty. So to say "make toasty", in reference to the mushroom, is absolutely valid.
Thank you! We're busy working on a new prototype to explore turning this into a full game! Give us a follow on here if you'd like to be notified when we drop the new prototype!
I love the fact that as you pursue further into the "Place," your body starts to change, and over time you slowly start to become something deformed and less than human.
Thanks for sharing! Sorry you were having such a tough time in the tunnels! We'd be happy to offer some advice if you're still struggling, but it seemed like you were close to breaking past that first boss!
two spell shield is too tough to get pass! you only have 3 energy and very few 0 energy attacks ... that means you only get 3 attack per turn max, making it very hard to win against that enemy
Hi! Thanks for playing, and for passing along feedback.
You're not the first person to struggle with spell shields - a lot of players find them challenging. That said, you certainly can get through them and beat the game.
Some small bits of advice: 1) Target shield casters before they can shield their allies. 2) Never let a shield-caster escape - they will absolutely ruin your day when they return as veterans. 3) Applying a status to an enemy will remove a stack of spell shield 4) Multi-hit attacks are a great way to melt through shields fast
The fact we still don't have an endless mode or any content updates for this makes me a little sad admittedly. A lot of the game's concepts like passive items existing as auto-triggered cards and a heavy emphasis on persistent effects are extremely fun. (even if they do lead to certain issues)
The game is a bit rough around the edges, having a somewhat rough and bumpy difficulty curve as well as minor balance issues (both in terms of archetype balance and individual card balance), but it is still very fun to play, and the apparent stagnation of it is... disappointing.
Are there any plans to release an official modding API for the game or any major updates? I would in particular love to see a wider variety of starting relics.
I replayed this once again recently, I discovered a pretty bad bug though. I somehow was able to hit the lock twice while opening a door, and it ended up causing two rooms to spawn in at the same time. Both the background and the enemies were layered on top of each other. Made for a good challenge, but it crashed before I could finish the fight. I think I caused an event flag to happen twice and the game just rolled with it.
Oh wow, that's a wild bug! Thanks for the heads up!
We need to drop an update to the game here - we have soooo much new stuff in the game, and I believe this bug is also resolved in the current game on our side. Thank you again for sharing though!
Amazing and great and epic game , lovely cartoonish graphics , so balanced and challenging levels , i love it so much , i wish that there is a longer version of it 10/10 👍👍✌️✌️✌️
I’m fucking loving it! How could I play it in a handheld device with a controller?
It was very usable with a controller mapped on a desktop PC, but I would love to play on the go now. Any emulator or any ideas? I don’t have a steam deck or anything that can run computer games…

Awesome and aethentic graphics and playtime! Thanks for the atmosphere!
Totally our pleasure - thanks for playing!
Well done! Found this to be really inspiring, trying to flesh out my own game jam game into a rogue like deckbuilder. Wish you guys the best of luck!
Thanks! Did you check out the new version of Shroom and Gloom?

Thanks so much for your comment! It really means a lot to hear people believe in this thing!
🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! Did you catch that we dropped new prototype?

Downloading right now, thks
Lovely! Enjoy!
I got training dummy and turned my scythe into a nuke
Haha! That sounds about right!
More awesome attacks that damage all enemies are on the way!
eu chorei
Eu honestamente acho que o homem que fez o design da almondega que protege os inimigos nn deveria ser permitido chegar perto de um jogo na vida dele
love the game btw
Thank you for playing!

You are wrong, it's meant make *this mushroom* toasty, so "make toasty"
If "toasty" is a noun (it's not, except in the context of this game), then the correct grammar would be "make a toasty", if "toasty" is an adjective (it's not, you are transforming a card into a toasty that's in your deck), then the correct grammar would be "toast". You stupid piece of shit.
You're a literal buzz kill. Make *Blank* toasty. Eat a dick
As opposed to a figurative buzz kill? Dumbass.

Toasty is an adjective in the English language, but in the game toasty is a noun. So "make toasty" is like saying "make dog".
It can be a noun or an adjective depending on the context.
Toasty isn't 'only' a noun in this game, either... been to any cafes recently? The English language is adaptive.
very cool, would love to see this become a full game.
Thank you! We're busy working on a new prototype to explore turning this into a full game! Give us a follow on here if you'd like to be notified when we drop the new prototype!
This game is SO GOOD
Thank youuuuu!
Dungeon Meshi but only the walking mushrooms
Haha, yes!
I love the fact that as you pursue further into the "Place," your body starts to change, and over time you slowly start to become something deformed and less than human.
Glad to hear you appreciated that little detail!
I love this game so much. It's difficult, but in a good way.
Thanks so much for the positive feedback!
We're currently working on prototyping a more polished version of the game, so this kind of comment is so encouraging for us! Thank you!
This game was so fun, but so HARD. I'll have to try to beat it sometime
Thanks for sharing! Sorry you were having such a tough time in the tunnels! We'd be happy to offer some advice if you're still struggling, but it seemed like you were close to breaking past that first boss!

This was a very fun one. Delightfully odd concept and well executed. I've been enjoying this one quite a bit in my spare time.
So glad to hear you enjoyed the game! Thanks for playing, and making this video!
Is there a Linus version coming?
Hoping so - we love Linus!
lol
There will be a steam release?
We're hoping that will happen! Just started an art test to explore how we could improve the graphics if we did a full release!

everyone else is playing balatro meanwhile i can only think about when there will be a shroom and gloom update
Haha! Thank you so much for this comment! Stoked that you're stoked for more Shroom and Gloom!
pressing
pessing o breaks the game
I love your concept, im checking this game from time to time for updates/release, I wish you luck with your project
Hi! Thank you so much for the encouragement, and for keeping an eye on Shroom and Gloom! We'll have some very exciting news to share soon!
Any chance there is a way to play this on a steam deck?
Hi there. Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately Shroom and Gloom is still just a jam game - it's not yet available on Steam.
Linux release coming??
Hi! No plans for Linux at the moment.
The fact we still don't have an endless mode or any content updates for this makes me a little sad admittedly. A lot of the game's concepts like passive items existing as auto-triggered cards and a heavy emphasis on persistent effects are extremely fun. (even if they do lead to certain issues)

Are there any plans to release an official modding API for the game or any major updates? I would in particular love to see a wider variety of starting relics.
when release?
Working on it.
I love this game and have beat it multiple times! Best of luck on making a longer version, I'll go nuts when/if you release it!
Hi there! Thanks so much for the encouraging comment - it's really awesome to hear that people are excited for a full version of this game!
I. Love. it.
Thank. you.

Hi! Thanks for the encouraging message!
Not super clear on your question about running the game on a handheld device, but the game currently only runs on Windows and Mac OS.
