Mushroom 11 Reviews

Mushroom 11 is an elegant and innovative game that keeps surprising me. Though its central mechanics are impressive on their own, the entire game has been skillfully designed. It’s easy to brush aside lofty claims, but Untame has delivered the distinctive gaming experience they promised and then some.

I wouldn’t be surprised to hear some may abandon it before finishing due to its difficulty, but I also wouldn’t be surprised to see diehards pop up, going for the no-death and the 100 percent runs. For me, I’m totally happy with my single playthrough.

Mushroom 11 captivates with its ability to make such a strange, unique mechanic feel so incredibly natural, but it’s in the clever applications of this system of motion that it hits its highest points. It’s an endlessly creative and exciting puzzle game that manages to make your failures just as fun and important as your accomplishments.

It’s rare for a puzzle game to be truly original, but Mushroom 11 can claim that accolade. It applies its originality in smartly traditional ways, employing 2D physics puzzles in a new style. It’s glitchless, which is a rare treat, especially for a game that lets you break your blob into many parts and jam them in between rotating cogs and swinging platforms. It’s one of the best puzzle games in a very long time.

The ingenuous movement mechanic and clever level design make Mushroom 11 a standout in a market saturated with physics-based puzzle platformers. Even with its flat soundtrack, I would still recommend Mushroom 11 to those you enjoy the unfamiliar and experiencing fresh ideas. Mushroom 11 offers a memorable experience, and one worth the time.
