Gliwice, Poland — July 18, 2024
Boomer jokes? Vegetable puns? Strange characters? Silly developers, who think Neptune is a water planet where the Kraken resides? Check!
Join the Aveggers to fight through the solar system in a dynamic single-player third-person platformer shooter and defeat the mushroom invasion. 99% silly, 100% vegan!
You now can try out the public Steam demo of Smells Like a Mushroom and check out the reveal trailer.
Smells like a Mushroom combines fun platforming elements with dynamic melee and shooting encounters, boss fights, sprinkled with a light, silly story and dialogue, packed into colorful, cartoony graphics and style. There is a lot of pew pew and even split-screen co-op for two players.
Developed by Red Limb Studio and published by Fatal Error and Destructive Creations, Smells Like a Mushroom is coming out on September 6, 2024, on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store). Console versions will follow a few weeks later, releasing on PlayStation®5 (PS5™), PlayStation®4 (PS4™), as well as Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.
About Smells Like a Mushroom
Parasitic mushrooms invaded from space, spreading all over the Milky Way. Since humans are long extinct and vegetables rule the Earth, it shouldn’t really be YOUR problem anymore. Except that you’ve got to suspend your disbelief because somehow you’re the one who has to stop the invasion. Surprise!
Join the Aveggers aboard their space cruiser Soil-Trek and travel to planets throughout our solar system in order to obtain the long-lost human technology necessary to defeat the head mushroom honcho, Satanus Boletus, who’s taken residence on the Sun. And to take off mushroom caps!
It’s not going to be easy, but as brave Carrotado, joined by General Despotato, scientists Nicola Siesta, and Garlic Ailstein, you might just be able to do it. As long as you don’t let your "favorite" mother-in-lawn and the ever-spiritual Holy Broccoli get in your head…
The entire planet led by President Abraham Lincorn is counting on you! Don’t let them down.
I mean, what do you want – we didn’t make this to win a BAFTA award for best writing. Love it, don’t hate it? Potato, tomato.
