Shrooms! Tower Defence brings a mushroomy new twist to the genre! A near-infinite number of procedurally-generated islands and lumberjacks who travel as they please, without grids or lanes, means each and every moment offers a fresh challenge! Let your spores take root in the free demo, releasing on Steam April 17th.
[April 16th 2025]: Take ten terrific types of mighty mushrooms, and put them to work in Shrooms! Tower Defence, a charming and challenging fresh take on the Tower Defence genre from Terra Mater Games. Carefully place your mushrooms at critical points around your island to protect your forests. Upgrade them after defeating enemies for maximum effect, and repel your greedy lumberlacking opponents across a near-infinite variety of procedurally generated maps!
They’re coming for your trees! Ax-wielding maniacs (mani-axe-s?) come in waves, following whatever paths they like– no grids or lanes– and they lay down roads and bridges as they go, for the waves that follow. Destroy them quickly, before they become unstoppable! Use different strategies to counter the different lumberjack types, from fast-moving, weak scouts, to lumbering behemoths!
With a new demo hitting Steam April 17th, players will get their chance to ex-spore and protect their own colorful island paradise!

Key features of Shrooms! Tower Defence include:
- Tree-hugging Tower Defence Action! Place your units to defend against wave after wave of lumberjacks, trying to chop down your precious trees! Careful strategy combined with quick reactions when things go off the rails!
- Endless Paths and Possibilities. Lumberjacks find their own way across your island, making precise mushroom placement absolutely critical! Near-infinite procedurally-generated islands for eternal replayability!
- Lumbering Jacks! Different types of lumberjacks present unique threats. Some are fast and weak, others are bulky and slow. Some have special abilities, like flight or devastating flamethrowers– and the powerful boss-lumberjacks are the most dangerous of all!
- Build Your Mushroomy Army! All ten mushroom-types come with branching upgrade-paths. Will you spend all your points on beefing up a few critically-placed heavy hitters? Or will you focus on low costs to infest the entire island with your mycelium soldiers?
Shrooms! Tower Defence is currently available to wishlist on Steam, and has a demo releasing April 17th, showing a slice of the final game. Players can also follow the game on Discord and on the official website.
