I discovered this game on an Instagram ad.... it's a prototype, but it's better and more beautiful than AAA games for 60 bucks !!!! Bravo, as soon as this game comes out, I'll buy it !!!! ah, and thanks for this amazing game.
I was drawn into this game because it gave similar vibes to Inscryption, and although the two are very different this blew my expectations out of the water. The way the environment moves around you, how you find yourself exploring the world, even events like the mole merchant are absolutely delightful.
As a card game, it nails on the head everything I want in a game of the genre: the types of decks and synergies feel refreshing to play with, and when you get a proper build going you truly begin to feel it's power. The design that went into each card and the different mechanics seems solid and interesting as well. The idea of even using some cards as currency is an interesting idea as well, posing the question do you sacrifice future health or even loot to purchase things for your deck is something I find enjoyable and new.
The enemy designs are fun too, and I particularly appreciate being able to see the moves they will make as to dictate which would be the best approach. The different types of status effects are fresh as well, and I love the idea that instead of being a set value and decaying after a set number of turns it becomes more potent the longer the status effect will last!
Even as a demo, this felt like a polished game, and I cannot wait to see where you all will take this further! Theres so much potential in this!
The art is beautiful. The cards are fun to play with. The mole merchant is cute. I'm so glad I can see what the enemy will do so I can plan out a strategic battle. "Do I tank the hits and heal because big guy is about to deal 22 damage or should I hit them a scythe to make the little ones die first." I just went on a crazy run with rage + increase damage cards. I got to the floor 14 boss when I came upon an issue. There were frame skips every second or so. Except only with the background. The cards UI ran smoothly but the enemy animations and walking were skipping frames. I hope I was helpful in addressing that issue because I love the game so far and I hope that there's so much more to this!
This is fantastic. Thank you very much. I love the art direction and mechanics. I'm not sure where the jank ends and the game design begins and I mean that as a huge complement when it comes to a rogue like deck builder. I have to mention the sound design is top notch as well. You really have a good team for this
To be honest im speechless. This is amazing and i pray that it sees the light of Steam. Please do NEVER stop developing this gem, if it was a stock id put my life savings on it.
I am continuously finding myself playing this game. Today i spent the last 5 hours sitting here playing it and find it even more fun everytime i go back in. its artistic style and originality make it something that i find elegant in its own way as well as the different combinations of cards that you can pair together that work in tandem with others. Keep up the good work and i cant wait for the finished product and whatever comes after.
This game RULES, really understands the most fun aspects of deckbuilders and gives you loads of opportunities to feel like a god. The art style works wonderfully, allowing both cute little guys and huge fuck-off monsters. There's a lot of depth to both the combat, and the exploration! I've only done two runs, but they both felt distinct and I'm interested to try even more. If I have one criticism, it's that if your hand gets super-duper full of cards it can be pretty tough to find the ones you want, especially if they're down near the bottom of the screen. The mole shopkeep also seemed a little finicky? Tried to buy something with lockpicks and couldn't figure out how to actually pay him. Besides that, great work all around! Definitely excited to see where the project goes from here!
It has the HUGE potential. Right now, decks are a little limited, but, I'm sure that will grow as the game does. Gives me the same vibes as the opening portion of Inscryption! Definitely has the potential to be up there with the great deck builders like Slay the Spire! I'll shoot a couple dollars your way to help with future development when I can.
Would love to see a steam release with controller support so I can play on my steam deck!
i've started playing this last night and only stopped because it was three am - absolutely amazing game, kinda crushing on the creature we see after death ngl (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)
Wow! As a huge fan of atmospheric Roguelike Deckbuilding games, i am truly impressed with this one. The ambiance and sound design are top notch. Eager to see more of it.
Somehow I JUST found out about this game "yesterday", aaaaand now its 5:40am. If you enjoy big stonk builds, like me, then this game is your heaven and you will lose track of time. Will be keeping an eye on the future of this game for sure.
I Played your game for a video and I really enjoyed it from the art style to gameplay there is one minor thing about the colors I would like to see the enemies be a different color from the environment but besides that no complaints here and I'll look forward to what you will do in the future
This game is great, my only criticism is that it's laggy (prob cuz I'm playing on a trashy laptop) and that if you close the game, you lose all your progress
had a really entertaining night trying out the game, forging the same cards looked so broken but fun to play, really looking forward to what comes next

Very laggy on mac air
When played on a stronger PC - extremely fun 10/10

Just found it with Instagram.
Honnestly giving me the same feeling as Inscryption (which is a compliment), maybe an inspiration, maybe not.
Your graphic style and 2.5D are majestic !
For "just a demo", it's already more polish than most game ... (Even if sometime i ask myself "how the hell did i win this last fight")
You can count me in your player list!
Sorry for the messy english,
The art is beautiful. The cards are fun to play with. The mole merchant is cute. I'm so glad I can see what the enemy will do so I can plan out a strategic battle.

Oh and I bet there's room for VR capability the way we look around with the camera. Especially during the death screen.
One of the best roguelike game I ever played! The art is awesome and the features just so amazing! I can't wait for the full version!
This is fantastic. Thank you very much. I love the art direction and mechanics.

Thank you very much for this game. I love everything about it.
Will buyers get information, if an update will be published or will the client update automatically?
Im looking forward and wish you the best of luck with your project.
This game is super addictive and fun! Can't wait for there to be more!
Love this game!
For a prototype, it's wonderful, the game is very good, the sound good too
A pleasure to play it on twitch ! Thanks !!
I hope you update the game !!

I played your game for this week's "indie horror digest" event on my channel and myself as well as the viewers had a lot of fun! I need more!
goooood

I bought the deck builder but I didn't get the game :[
i've started playing this last night and only stopped because it was three am - absolutely amazing game, kinda crushing on the creature we see after death ngl (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)
I can't overstate how much I love this game and this is just an early prototype???
The style and mechanics are absolutely amazing and unique.
Can't wait to keep up with this game and see it grow and one day be an even better and fully fledged game.
Keep up the good work!
Hey! Any plans on releasing in Nintendo Switch?
thanks!
This is so fun to play. I get so addicted playing this even though I died multiple times from my own mistakes.
Wow! As a huge fan of atmospheric Roguelike Deckbuilding games, i am truly impressed with this one. The ambiance and sound design are top notch. Eager to see more of it.
I hope it becomes available on steam

Not sure if this is fixed already or maybe this is intentional but i found this neat trick
Great game, any plans for a steam full release? I would def consider purchasing this as a full version.
One thing to note:
When in lock screen, the damage numbers on certain enemies are not visible.
Came back after the devs were so nice on TikTok! Got my butt spanked by a boss that kept evolving. Had a great time while doing it!
Great game, lots of combos. Have put in over 25 hours.
Love to hear it! Thanks for playing and please keep an eye on how progress goes with the full game!
Good game
thank you
This is probably the best game I've played here on Itch.io
This comment made our day! Thanks so much - awesome to hear you had such a good time with this early version of Shroom and Gloom!
I Agree With You
One of the best deckbuilders I've ever played, super fun and super easy to pick up but challenging to get the hang of 12/10
Thanks so much for this! So encouraging getting this kind of feedback on the prototype!
I Played your game for a video and I really enjoyed it from the art style to gameplay there is one minor thing about the colors I would like to see the enemies be a different color from the environment but besides that no complaints here and I'll look forward to what you will do in the future
also here's the video if you want to watch it
非常好的游戏！使我的大脑旋转！
很高兴听到这个消息！感谢您的参与！摇滚吧！
There isn't a save function?
This game is great, my only criticism is that it's laggy (prob cuz I'm playing on a trashy laptop) and that if you close the game, you lose all your progress
And the toad breaks my game.
