Great game! Interesting mechanics, and I loved the back and forth between Agaricus and Andreaea, the writing is fantastic. It can be difficult to remember what each mushroom does once you’ve placed them, it would be nice if you could hover over them to see their info, and I am still not 100% sure what some of the keywords do even after completing the game (e.g. fertilise, energy boost, rapid fire). I’m also unsure if this is intended, but the “mumbling truffle” (and perhaps others) grow slightly after each activation, leading to the glorious fungi shown below:

tooltips were a planned feature but we didn't get them in. Explaining the keywords was the same unfortunately, but would definitely add explainers in the future. Nor did we squash that particular graphical bug, but we also found it so funny that we weren't mad about it. Thanks so much for all the kind words!

it's not a bug, it's a feature!
if you get it big enough you win the game! (mostly because that means you've got enough points but...)

glad you enjoyed the writing :D the mushroom puns were torturous in the best possible way

To explain some of those specifically:

  • Fertilise 1 = At the end of the turn, turn one nearby tile of Soil to Fertile Soil if the mushroom was activated at least once this turn. (Fertile soil gives any mushroom activated on it a 1.25x multiplier, which carries to following activations so long as it continues chaining)
  • Energy Boost: Similar to fertile soil, any chain following an Energy boost n will gain 1 + (.25 * n) multiplier as long as it continues chaining.
  • Rapid Fire: This mushroom can activate mush more frequently. All mushrooms have a maximum activation amount (visible number) but they also have a cooldown (not displayed). Rapid Fire means this cooldown is so small it can almost always be activated by an incoming chain, regardless of frequency.

That makes a lot of sense, thank you! Explains why my pair of mumbling truffles were able to rack up so many spores that quickly.
