The Premise

The era of man is over. Through their hubris and a little nudge from Mother Nature, the blight that was Humans, has now gone. However, their legacy of exploitation and corruption of the land lives on. Through her avatar, Flixi, an excitable fox, Mother Nature tasks you with restoring balance to the corrupted land.  

But how can you a small, humble mushroom colony, complete such as task? She is Mother Nature, she has tricks up her metaphorical sleeve, namely Magic. You are now in control of magic mushrooms in the true sense of the name.

Not Mushroom is a game about restoring the natural balance to nature. Use your magically infused mushrooms to cleanse the land, fight the corrupted creatures, and rescue woodland creatures from corrupted lands before they succumb to the corruption.

This game is in a prototyping phase and is in a pretty rough state. This is just for demonstration purposes.


How to play:

Click to select a mushroom to plant. Mushrooms can only be placed on Mycelium (white textured area).  Your goal is to destroy all of the ant spawners in the area. Protect your body at all costs, 5 attacks from an ant will kill you!
