- We got a bit delayed, working hard on that update - 11 July 2026
That trailer took a lot more work than we thought! It's time to move on from video production to game dev.The music in the new trailer is made by George Savvidis (Will O'Wisp Productions), we are proud to present a full human made game, no ai involved.What to expect in the next update, coming soon:-10 bingbongs to grow up in 5 stages, from egg all to adult-all 10 have different characters and hobbies-2 per island (but why are there 6 islands, that means one island has none? that's for you to find out)-to evolve them you will have to feed them and give them attention-they eat mushrooms that you can forage or plant-they will have mood bars to show if they are happy and when they will evolve-they all spend their mornings and evenings on basecamp, no need to search the whole islands to take care of them-they all set off to their favourite island during the day to do their hobbies and explor…
- Meet the bingbongs - 16 March 2026
This update is planned for this year?Besides solving riddles to find mushrooms, blacklight lantern secret note finding and planting spores to make new mushroom variants... you will raise your very own bingbongs! There will be two bingbongs per living island, but lucky for you, new mother to be, the bingbongs will stay on one island to sleep. That will make petting them and feeding them much easier. During the day they will roam around on their favourite islands and enjoy their little hobbies. While searching for new mushrooms you will encounter them on your path, fishing, skiing, reading a book...Raise them right, feed them on time and give them all your love and attention and they will ultimately evolve into a self-sufficient adult, granted you do your job well. Neglected bingbongs will just stay the same age, and we don't want that, do we?But with all those eggs comes a lot of respons…

We take our player feedback very seriously! Here are the latest tweaks based on your feedback. Thank you so much for taking the time to write to us!Removed an exploit where you could make infinite shromz via de storage.Update mystery nr 98 with the correct shrom solutionFixed the storage system overall, let's not point fingers but there were some bugs in there!Updated the Blimp selling box so it's a lot clearer you can't actually take back sold items.Removed a resolution in the settings that made the game crash as we confirmed it was testing value which hadn't any real value.Lowered the graphics on basecamp a little bit, but with a huge performance boost, now it should be playable for everyone! The other islands seemed fine though.Updated the cavesystems and their colissions as some people got stuck in some narrow parts.and lastlySomeone reported the achievement 'mystery shrom 1' as not…
- We're moving + little life update - 5 June 2025
I decided write a rambly blog style update on what's going on in our life, so if you are interested in that, here it goes: So, we, i.e. Kim, Barbara and the cats, are finally moving our studio, aka our home, to one of our dream locations! Bye bye Kraków, we're going to live in a super cute village near the mountains. Even though we are well prepared there's still a lot of moving work to do, so we can start up full steam in a few weeks. There's some bug solving to do, that will have to be delayed. And... To be honest, it wasn't always easy to work on our games dealing with severe cat illness. We had our first cat, Miss Kitty, she got diagnosed with breast cancer. She was 15 years old and very healthy troughout her life, her blood test results were excellent, she still had all her teeth and those were also all healthy. Two weeks later from that last check up... I felt a little bump on her…
- Who will be the first... - 15 February 2025
Hint: they show up on your map on the shromphone as blue circles after 18h!
- Immersion update - 15 February 2025
The game was already very relaxing but... there was something missing... The sound of footsteps! The sound of walking on crunchy ice, stepping in a puddle or rustling through some shrubs... We added even more sounds to the game, play the demo or game now to find out! All the maps in the phone have been updated too, it should be a lot easier to navigate in the game. What else? 1) Corrected some spelling mistakes in Dutch. 2) Added a mystical sound when you approach a new mushroom, like the hot and cold game. 3) Corrected an LOD here and there. Happy shromhunting! ᕦʕ •`ᴥ•´ʔᕤ Barbara & Kim from SPS
- Performance Update - 26 December 2024
What changed? After some tinkering we managed to increase the FPS by 20 to 30 frames! We ran the updated game on a laptop with these specs: -Nvidia GeForce GTX 970M -8 GB ram -Windows 8 with Intel core of 2.7 GHz All settings on high (not epic) and it ran very smoothly. Also: A bug that made the settings sliders pop right back to the standard settings by itself has been resoved. We have optimized some of the textures. Lots of foliage has 4 different levels of detail. Some little changes here and there! Happy shromhunting! ᕦʕ •`ᴥ•´ʔᕤ Barbara & Kim from SPS
- Try it before you buy it! - 9 December 2024
Hello my dearest mushroom hunters! We hope you will like our little demo we made for you. It will introduce you to the first 2 islands and will let you collect the first 6 mushrooms. If you reach the end of the demo you will exit the game automatically. We also hope you'll immediately feel the relaxing effects of walking through these ambient islands. If your brain needs a pause, if you've been feeling a bit stressed, try to concentrate on only finding the next mushroom. We hope it has the same relaxing effect on our players as it had on us, the devs! ＼ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ／ Barbara & Kim from SPS Also, merry christmas and a happy new year everyone! Hope 2025 will be good to all of us.
- Hello achievements! - 11 August 2024
It was fun creating these 19 achievements for our players! We wonder how far everyone will get. Good luck and happy shromhunting everyone ːsteamthumbsupːʕ ◕ᴥ◕ ʔ Kim and Barbara from SPS
- Mega update! - 31 May 2024
Mega Update Hi Folks! We here at Space Pigeon Studios are super happy to introduce to you the final version of Shrommzzz for PC! It's been a year-ish since we first released here on Steam, which was so crazy looking back. A little backstory coming up, skip to the next paragraph if you're not interested. Kim left a 6 year stint at another company to start this whole thing like 6 months before and Barbara could only run Unreal Engine on the absolute lowest settings while even Blender kept crashing. We had a few weeks left on our rental contract, the home was getting filled with boxes, and in the end we'd only find a new place days before deadline! We got banned on instagram 4 times in the months leading up to the release (which really screwed up our intents to promote this thing)... We couldn't start the company the way we wanted as our move from Belgium to Poland was causing both of us t…
- Mini Christmas Patch - 24 December 2023

- The Lore Update is out! Major Free Update! - 11 July 2023
Hello Shromhunters, What's new Is that snow? Are those beautiful red leaves? Seasons have arrived to the shrom islands! Did you know that the magical mushrooms let time flow differently there? A week is 4 days, and a season is 4 weeks. So in 16 in-game days you'll get those crunchy leaves under your feet! There's so much to discover on the shrom islands. Who was here before you? What did they discover? Why did they leave? What's Fred favourite chill spot? We took our time & crafted a totally new mechanic for you to discover & search the islands at night using a new blacklight tool. These little story snippets will tell you about the ones that came before, but most importantly, give you just the hint you need to solve that next mushroom mystery. For our panel of mycologists these islands hold no secrets anymore, can you fill their shoes? We call it, the toolring, and it's your new best f…
- Patch notes 14/06/2023 - 14 June 2023
Hi all! After getting some useful feedback after the launch, we're releasing a patch to address some of the issues asap! NEW There's a new TELEPORT skill that you can unlock after the third mystery to make it much smoother to keep playing without the tedious part of walking back the same way you just came. You could already do it via the map on your phone, but that's too many clicks! So please eat the mysterious new magic mushroom! There's also a new PACKAGE TRACKER APP on your shromphone! This will show you what you bought in the shop, and when it will arrive in-game! Super handy. You can also toggle running mode by double pressing the run keys (Shift & Right trigger or R3). This will prevent your fingers from being worn out by all that running around! Updated The overall saturation & brightness of the game was tweaked a bit, as we couldn't ignore the feedback from that it was just too…
- Community appreciation post - 7 June 2023
To our 4 current reviewers: we appreciate you all so much! thank you, you rock!!! Thank you everyone who participated in the r/cozygamers giveaway! Congratulations to the 5 winners! We hope everyone will enjoy our game. We poured our hearts and soul into it, all of our passion condensed into this game, our very first one, the apple of our eye. We would love to hear your opinions on it: -how long did it take you to find all the shroms? -and if you haven't found them all yet, what shrom is the last one you found? -are we correct about our guesstimate: 8 to 10 hours to find them all? -what would you love to see for the fall update? -are the mysteries too easy? too hard? just right? -did we miss any bugs? -are the caves creepy? -the bunnies cute? Here are some quotes from the r/cozygamers subreddit: Our first fan art! A very happy and iconic moment for us! Happy shromhunting, Kim & Barbara

- Shrommzzz is released! - 26 May 2023
It’s been 5 years ...or more, since we first talked about making a game together. But now we don’t only talk the talk, we walk the walk! We are indie dev couple Kim & Barbara, presenting to you the fruit of our labour: Shrommzzz! In Shrommzzz you have to explore 6 islands and their 5 cave systems to find all the 100+ mushroom types on it. A game to relax Back in the pandemic lockdowns, we crunched down on Animal Crossing together, like so many others. Finding a bit of relief in all the chaos. This was after we already did 500 hours combined on Stardew Valley. Coming out of that, we moved countries (really!) and started going on hikes every weekend. A desire to ground ourselves. Oh yeah, our tv is always playing ambience videos on youtube, even when the cats aren't interested. So this is what we set out to do with Shrommzzz. You can solve mycelium mysteries, collect & grow mushrooms, but…
