Game Description

There's a fungus among us! Step into a surreal world where mushrooms, cacti, kudzu, and other plants have come to life after a strange comet passed overhead. Walk through this fascinating new (and tiny) world as a 3-inch-tall Mushroom Man. The plants have all broken into factions: the inventive Morels, the aggressive Amanitas, and the primitive Boletes.

Join the fight as you make weapons and other tools out of trash and common household items in this quirky action saga.
