Mushroom Mountain
A puzzle game where time moves when you do. Find your way up the twisting trails of the mountain!
Always free to play in the browser, here or on the PICO-8 BBS. If you are enjoying the game, I would appreciate your support with a download!
Cultivate
Plant, destroy, grow, and spread mushrooms to control trail doors. Discover the unique properties of each type as you progress.
Solve
Use multi-purpose items to find a way forward. Use the shovel to clear a path, create fertile ground, defend yourself, and more. Push crates to make barriers, bridges, or a safe path through a patch of deadly, poison mushrooms.
2 Paths, 2 Goals
Choose from 2 paths of unique levels with different goals. Fill all plots with common blue mushrooms on the blue path, or with deadly, poisonous red mushrooms on the red path.
Adventure Awaits
Both paths lead to the peak. Discover and solve new challenges until the very end!
Enjoy
The trails aren't easy, but you are empowered. Quickly undo any number of moves or deaths. You are not timed, or punished for mistakes. Reset or skip any puzzle from the menu. You can always backtrack and solve skipped levels. Freely switch between paths with your progress saved for both.
Features
- 3+ hours of handmade puzzles
- 50+ levels spread between 2 paths
- Adventure at the peak
- Quality of life features such as undo, and skip puzzle
- Original soundtrack

I'm missing a single rocket and it's driving me crazy.
I found silver, red, green, gold and orange. I think I'm missing blue but I really don't know where to start.
Any clue without spoiling the solution?
Yep just the blue left.
You'll need to start from the red path east peak, and cross over to the west peak, with a gold mushroom.
It's kind of a gimmicky solution....sorry lol.
Let me know how it goes, and thanks for playing!
But I already found one shuttle in the west "starry sky" screen that required a golden mushroom... There's another?
FWIW I'm playing on pico-8 from the BBS cart, but I bought it on itch to support/say thanks for the hours of fun.
Thank you for the support!
Yes there is another on the west starry sky screen :)
So let's say I'm in this screen with a golden status and a single shovel, can I find the blue shuttle?
Because I don't think I can have 2 shovels and golden status.
Yep, that's right.
Really fun. Great visuals and audio as well.
Thank you!
What a cozy little puzzler. A lot of polish and rewarding puzzles.
Thank you!
Great ending! Found all shuttles, I think (Unless there's a super secret sixth one).
Thank you! There are six.
When are the walkthroughs a thing?
