Mushroom 11 Critic Reviews

Mushroom 11 is one of the weirdest games of the year. It's also one of the best.

It’s an endlessly creative and exciting puzzle game that manages to make your failures just as fun and important as your accomplishments.

Mushroom 11 is a dynamic puzzle game based on a very unique idea that boasts a lot of style, is very polished and really hard to beat. It will make you scream with rage, but it's never unjust.

It’s tough for me to say that Mushroom 11 is a game for everyone. Still, fans of puzzles or platformers definitely owe it a look, and those who enjoy trying out new things are sure to find something here.

It’s easy to brush aside lofty claims, but Untame has delivered the distinctive gaming experience they promised and then some.

Both genuinely original and a smart physics puzzler, but aggravating in places, Mushroom 11 falls a few inches short of a classic.

This is one of those rare games where you have the feeling of playing something not seen or done before. Short, with a steep learning curve and a sometimes frustratingly high difficulty not everything is perfect, though.

There's not much else to Mushroom 11 beyond the core movement mechanic, but the game is confident in its limited scope. It allows the simple and innovate control scheme to take center stage, and though it requires both patience and practice, it contributes greatly to the novelty of the puzzle platformer experience.

The wasteland of the corpse of civilization is not a forgiving place, but with a little care and a huge amount of perseverance, the fungus’ journey may let it see what lies at the conclusion of the unforgettable journey of Mushroom 11.

Mushroom 11 is overflowing with an effectively grim atmosphere and some brilliantly original ideas. Although I do have some gripes with the tricky controls, the game ultimately offers a challenging physics-based experience that is enough to satisfy any fan of puzzle platformers.

Although Mushroom 11 may seem as another generic addition to the oversaturated indie platform genre, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Untame’s effort succeeds in distancing itself from the competition thanks to a completely unique gameplay accompanied by cleverly designed environmental puzzles.

Mushroom 11 is a quality physics-puzzle-platformer. While 15$ may be a bit steep for a game is at most 5-6hrs long, the gameplay is unique, the levels varied, and there is replay value to be had in the form of collectibles. What’s more, the audiovisual design makes for such an excellent experience that you might not notice.

An intelligent game that may not be for all kind of gamers, but if you buy into its mechanics you'll be sucked into this post-apocalyptic world despite its lack of any narrative.

You might laugh as the cartoon blob tumbles into the vat of purple acid, but your time will come too.

Mushroom 11 is original and well executed. If you're looking for some puzzles like you've never seen before, this should be an option.

Its uniqueness is its greatest asset; there isn't anything else quite like it out there, and it takes a different kind of thinking to get through.

Mushroom 11 is an incredibly inventive and original puzzle game that will amaze every genre-lover. Too bad many will enrage at his lack of consistency and not-always coherent physics engine.

The developers at Untame should be proud and confident that they can build thorough and robust gameplay structures around their ideas. But the concept at the centre of Mushroom 11, I would implore, is not something they should return to.

As time goes on, I grow more intolerant of the extreme eleventh-hour difficulty spike found in so many games. Mushroom 11 begins wonderfully, with some striking 2D background art and a bounty of inventive puzzles in its earlier levels. I want to recommend it for that, but the unfortunate truth is that too much of my time with Mushroom 11 was spent writhing in fury.

Mushroom 11 does a great job of realizing a concept and sticking to it, it’s just too bad that concept falters as much as it does, making the game feel like a big miss instead of an indie darling.
