About the Game

Mushroom Men: Truffle Trouble is a unique platforming game featuring Pax, the hero of Mushroom Men.

Pax is trapped in a terrible nightmare. You control Pax as he is pursued by the besotted Truffle Princess, combining classic platforming action with imaginative puzzle-solving as you must move, stack, and use objects to create new paths to jump and clamber on, all while the Truffle Princess draws ever closer.

Being in a dream, even if it is a nightmare, can have its advantages. Pax can transform into different forms to help him negotiate the world, each with its own distinct and powerful abilities. You can use the forms to scamper across vertical walls, turn invisible, or even fly across vast chasms, but using them at the right time is the key.

Mushroom Men: Truffle Trouble hooks you with its distinct gameplay, then keeps you engaged with its beautiful worlds, quirky humor, and Pax’s super-powered forms.

  • Platforming - Pax can run, jump, climb, cling to ledges, push, pull, and grab objects, and use his special Form abilities to overcome obstacles.
  • Puzzles - Pax is able to manipulate his environment through stacking or moving objects in the world, allowing you to creatively use parts of the environment to create new paths for platforming your way forward.
  • The Chase - As you move through the levels you are under a time pressure: the Truffle Princess is after you, steadily smashing her way through the level. You must find a way to keep ahead, increasing your lead enough so that you have time to puzzle through the tricky parts. Even the most basic stretches of levels become critical as you push to stretch your lead.
  • Enemies - Scattered throughout the levels are opponents that you want to avoid or destroy. Each opponent has a different set of abilities. Some move about in a small area, others fly about and attack you from range. You either need to avoid them and their attacks, or land on them to squish them.
  • Forms - Truffle Trouble features five new Forms that Pax can mutate into, each one with its own set of distinct powers and movement abilities.
    • Ghost Pax, who is invisible to enemies and the Princess.
    • Moth Pax, who can fly.
    • Spider Pax, who can walk on walls and ceilings.
    • Mole Pax, who can tunnel through dirt with his powerful claws.
    • Super Pax, who can run and jump faster and higher than trains and tall buildings.

As much as I loved the Mushroom Men game on the Wii I this game doesn't really feel like a Mushroom Men game. It feels more like a puzzle game with "Mushroom Men" just slapped on so fans of the original game will play it. Now the game feels a bit like a Catherine clone, (another game I enjoyed playing) but with much more difficult puzzles to solve. Your biggest enemy will be the jump button as there is a big delay in the jump which will lead to you falling. The lack of checkpoints also make the game frustrating if you come to a diffuclt puzzle and fail to complete it in time you have to start the level all over again. Though fun for the first few hours it gets old fast. I recommend getting the game while it is on sale.

Hello everybody! [b]I'm the number one Mushroom Men fan, as it says on my profile.[/b] This review is going to be a fairly in-depth critique of the game that discusses most of the the features of the game so here goes. The gameplay of this game is fairly straight forward. You platform your way to the far right side of the level, through means of pushing, pulling and lifting boxes of nails. The game is crazy hard barely giving you enough time to complete each box puzzle in a given level. This difficulty is welcome, as I find difficult platformers like this or Cuphead with a significant level of difficulty much more fun than those that aren't as difficult. It gives you the means to improve your tactics or your high score/record speed. An issue I have with it though, it the issue of the fixed camera. I found myself being confused by the angle at witch I was playing, ending up in some unfair deaths. I do think this game would have a much more vibrant community if there was some sort of lev...

First off if you've played the other 2 games,chances are you already bought this/are thinking of buying it. If you have,this game dosent spoil anything from the first 2. That fact aside, Pros: This game is one of the best optimised pc games ever,the graphics are phenominal,the gameplay is very solid,and the challenge level is fair. Cons:music is recyled from the spore wars and the keyboard controls are a bit confusing. All in all,if you even remotley like puzzle platformers,this should definitley be a game you should play! My score:9/10

I cannot recommend as a pure platformer: - The 3D fails, i.e., depth of elements cannot be told, you never know if 2 tiles are on the same perspective and if you are jumping onto something or into the void. - Worse yet, soft-locks will force you to restart levels. Soft-locks occur when you lose access to blocks because of where you moved them to; then you cannot progress anymore. The level design is so bad that these happen quite frequently. - Controls are not even good enough. Each controller button does too much, contextually, therefore you are going to perform a lot of actions that are not what you wanted to perform. I recommend even less as a Puzzle-Platformer, the genre I thought it belonged to: - Every level is designed around a timer. You can take out the timer by selecting easy difficulty, however the challenge then disappears completely, as barely any thinking is required to reach any collectible. - The numerous deaths due to the bad 3D or controls do not hurt when the timer ...

Generic puzzle platformer with no depth to it whatsoever.

Once you master the controls (I like to use the keyboard) it's actually extremely satisfying running, jumping, pushing and pulling... Then you die. A lot. Ok, you have to learn to do all of the above pretty quickly so you don't caught by the huge beast infatuated by you. I got it half price, well worth it!

Uses Les Claypool's music as he wrote some for Spore Wars (not for this one though, I believe) so massive W. Sadly, I did not play with a controller thus I did not manage to have a fun time. Aside from that, vibes. Enjoyed the only cutscene I watched. ...What would Sir George Martin do?

From what i've played, strangely enough, this game feels like it's a Android/IoS App version of the Atlus Game "Catherne". Thing is, it's still more action orienated than catherine, which in my opinion is a good thing. The premise is much more funnier too. Yes, i do dislike the 3-stars rating per level thing, but seeing that Les Claypool's music is in this game as well, that makes up for it. good for a short burst gaming. Plus the cutscenes are pretty damn good in my opinion
