Mushroom Revolution is a tower defense game with a mushroom theme. It is a game in which you place ghomphuses, towers consisting of different mushrooms, around the field. These attack the enemies that soon come.

Gameplay[]

Mushroom Revolution is a Tower Defense game in which you plant mushrooms called ghomphuses as towers and assign them gems for additional effects. These towers automatically attack the enemies as they approach.

Gems and elements[]

There are 5 elements or gem types, each with their own weakness. Enemies also have assigned elements. They will receive more damage from the opposite element and less damage from their own element. The multipliers are stated in a towers description. A level 1 ghomphus has 1 gem slot, a level 2 has 2 and a level 3 or higher ghomphus have 3 gem slots. You can put gems into these slots which will change a ghomphus element.

There are 2 types of ghomphuses. The pure one: this one is obtained from giving 2 or 3 gems of same element to a ghomphus. These deal more damage to the opposite element, reduce the penalty for same element monster and can be upgraded up to lvl 6. The unpure ghomphus can only be upgraded to lvl 5, but they gain other useful bonuses.

Tips[]

Here are some tips that you might find them useful while playing Mushroom Revolution.

Build mushroom towers at strategic locations to encounter monsters twice.
Clear trees to obtain strategic location for your mushroom tower.
Clump your towers so all can help each other. Example: Splash Slow with Wealth.
Build variety of delay towers: [stun, confuse and slow] to delay monster so other towers can hit more!
Build ‘Wealth Tower’ to earn more cash to fund your mushroom tower construction cost.
Once you have a solid defense at Level 70, you could build Money Steal to generate additional income!
If limited strategic spots, build Level 6 Pure Tower instead of having two Level 5 Non-Pure Towers.
Place more focus on damage first such as mass building Wealth to generate more damage per monster.
Once you feel the monster HP is a too much to handle, build non-pure towers for their special effect to reduce the burden. For example: teleport, instant death and plant bomb. This increases the damage per monster if there were less to focus on.
After establishing killer towers, construct Money Steal to fund the upgrade cost for other towers.
