Mushboom

2014 Platform

Mushboom is a quirky side-scrolling runner game featuring a tired green office worker who looks like a zombie/alien hybrid, dressed in a white polo shirt and black tie. Burned out from nonstop corporate work and constantly chased by his boss, the character escapes the office building and races across rooftops and elevated city areas while collecting glowing mushrooms for energy. The mushrooms temporarily boost his stamina and help him keep going, turning the game into a bizarre mix of workplace satire and arcade survival. The gameplay revolves around dodging obstacles, outrunning pursuit, and gathering enough mushrooms to progress, with unlockable costumes and character customization
