The Shroomest

This game is made during the 2024 GMTK Game Jam.

Your goal in this game is to breed the biggest mushroom in 100 days. Every mushroom has a distinct appearance and traits.  You start with two small mushrooms, as the mushrooms grow, genetic mutations may occur, causing them to either grow larger, shrink, or even gain new traits. During the final cycle of their life, the mushrooms will breed with nearby mushrooms, passing on some of their traits and properties to the next generation. You can also sell unwanted or valuable mushrooms to buy better ones from the store. 

Therefore, you need to manage the placement and breeding time of your mushrooms carefully. You’ll also need to filter out undesirable traits, preserve beneficial ones, gradually breed the best mushrooms, and finally breed the biggest mushroom possible.

Currently, our game has over 50 different traits and their corresponding appearances, which allows the generation of thousands of unique mushrooms.
