Hello!
This website is very much in construction still… Head to my bluesky account to see some updates for now !
And you can see the state of the game for yourself here. It’ll take a bit to load for the first time. Keep in mind this is a test build, it will have bugs, it won’t look pretty, it is work in progress!
Mushboom is a mushroom themed classic bomberman-style game. Playable on web from any PC and modern mobile for free! Later also available for download on Android, and even later on will launch on Steam.
This project is still very early in development, so expect to find bugs and unpleasant visuals, but the game is totally functional in a basic way. You can play with local and online players at the same time, currently working on adding CPU players.
Here’s a preview video recorded a few weeks ago:
December will be a slow month since I’m focusing on recovering from burn out, but I’m expecting to have more consistent updates from January on-wards.
Game features
Note that all the art assets and UI are in constant progress. I’m focusing on getting all the main functionality in before diving into making the art as good as I want it to be. So this game will be looking “ugly” (for my expectations) for a while but it’s temporary.
Done:
- Full playable matches against other players
- Join lobbies using a short code
- Supports both local and online multiplayer, can be mixed
- Shared screen on mobile for two players
In progress:
- CPU players (with 3 difficulty presets)
- Level editor (useful for dev purposes, but making it available for players as well)
- Post-processing to make it look prettier and help drive the art direction
To come for V1:
- Character editor with profiles
- Cosmetics for your character
- Emotes
- Music & sound effects (January – February)
- Updated visuals for pickups
- Much improved UI, especially for mobile
- Tutorial info-graphic
- List of available public lobbies
- Maybe dev-log breakdowns on how I made certain systems for other developers
- More levels
- Color blind accessibility settings
- Playable on web on both pc and mobile
- Standalone downloadable from here and some Android stores (most likely not in Google Playstore)
Then comes V2:
- A new mode! Play in 3rd person, it would feel like a maze and you’ll be relaying more in auditory and visual cues to know where the others and their puffballs are.
- More accessibility settings. I’ll try my best to add features that help blind players be able to competitively play this 3rd person mode with their friends.
- More cosmetics and emotes
- A story mode
- Downloadable from Steam
