Deck-Building Prototype Shroom And Gloom Now On itch.io
Play your cards right, and perhaps Shroom and Gloom will gain full game status in the near future. Try the prototype on itch.io now.
I love Team Lazerbeam, so it is with great pleasure to draw your attention to their latest offering, Shroom and Gloom. There was a tease of this on X, but it was actually YouTube that did its thing and put the trailer in my face.
From the team behind the transcendent Teenage Blob, comes a deck-building prototype. That prototype isn't necessarily something to completely reinvent the wheel, but a showcase of what might be, as the gang are working towards a full game.
Shroom and Gloom is a rogue-like deck-builder from a first-person perspective where you build a custom deck to battle 'monstrous mushroom' and pull of 'mountains of mega-combos'. Key features in the game include:
Double-decker Deckbuilding! - Build 2 distinct decks! Use the combat deck to survive fierce battles! Use the explore deck to navigate dungeons, modify your cards, or unlock new weapons and abilities!
Eye-ball melting art! - Hand-drawn art and animations collide with rich 3D spaces, bringing you into a surreal world of mushrooms and madness!
Infinite growth and monstrous mega-combos! - Shroom and Gloom offers unique ways for players to grow and modify their cards infinitely. Grow low level starting cards into over-powered attacks, or modify rare cards into game-breaking super-weapons!
Less blocking, more eating! - Why block your enemies when you could eat them instead! Shroom and Gloom features a bounty of ways for you to season, skewer or roast your foes, then eat them to restore lost health. Better yet, throw your roasted enemies into a pot, and cook up some game-changing soups!
Shroom and Gloom is currently listed on itch.io, so go check it out, give some feedback, sign up for the mailer, and understand what... fungi's these can be. I apologise.
