Short description
Xenomycology is a metroidvania tower defense game. You control a colony of extra-terrestrial fungus spreading across a planet, and fighting off invading creatures. Xenomycology also offers a peaceful mode if you only want to grow mushrooms and explore the world.
About this game
A single spore floats gently to the alien earth below. It lands, and against all odds, finds the minerals and water it needs to take root. Its mycelium spreads, and a mushroom bursts forth from the inhospitable soil. This mushroom is you, and soon your colony will cover the entirety of this planet. Xenomycology is a city builder, tower defense, and metroidvania. You control a colony of extra-terrestrial fungus spreading across a planet. Invading aliens will attempt to wipe you out, so you will need to balance your resource gathering with defenses. Gameplay Xenomycology is played room-by-room. In each room you will start with a single mushroom, and steadily build up your resources to expand your colony. Some rooms will be contested - enemies will attack after a set amount of time. Enemies will come in waves, and you will need to build defensive mushrooms to take them out. After the waves are complete, you'll be able to move on to a new room. Xenomycology is not linear, however. Many rooms will have multiple exits, and some of the exits will be blocked until you've unlocked certain technologies. This means you can backtrack to old rooms and improve your existing colonies. This doesn't just allow you to find new exits and explore new areas, though, existing colonies will send a percentage of their resources to new rooms. So, upgrading your old colonies will give your new colonies an advantage. Features Xenomycology is a city builder, but your city is a colony of extra-terrestrial mushrooms. Grow mushrooms that gather resources, or help your colony expand across gaps or up cliffs. Balance spreading your colony against the resource needs of your existing mushrooms. Xenomycology is also a Metroidvania, but instead of fighting and jumping across rooms, you gradually spread your colony across the environment. Unlocking new mushroom types will allow you to revisit old areas to unlock previously closed paths. Fend off waves of enemies in 2D tower defense battles. Grow mushrooms that will help kill invading creatures, or protect your vulnerable resource gathering fungi. Meaningful, strategic choices when building your mushroom colonies.
