About

Shroomsweeper

Read full description

A cozy minesweeper for mushroom foragers. Shroomsweeper plays like the puzzle you remember — but the mines are mushrooms, the flags are caution markers, and a full board means a full basket. Your very first dig is always safe. THREE FORAGER ROLES Ease in as a Forager. Grow into Woodlander and Mycologist. The boards get bigger, the mushrooms get sneakier, and your best times follow you up. A GENTLE TUTORIAL A 30-second tour teaches the rules without ever scolding. Skip it if you've played before — or take the scenic route. LIGHT & DARK Forest Floor by day. Twilight Grove by night. Toggle between them whenever the mood shifts. MADE SLOW, ON PURPOSE No accounts. No subscriptions. No ads. No streaks to protect, no daily nags, no notifications begging you back. Open it, play for as long — or as little — as you like, and close it. Shroomsweeper is a small game from Shroom Games, a one-person studio making quiet puzzles you'll happily lose an afternoon to.
