Planet Mush boasts a cute aesthetic and calming gameplay focused around collecting mushrooms from different environments on a planet in outer space and planting them on the homestead’s farm to create ‘Shroom Brew,’ which the player can sell to Earth to gain in-game currency. By defending their farm from monsters and selling their brew, the player can upgrade their tools and farming equipment to create higher quality brew.

Based on the traditional fairytale of ‘Hansel and Gretel’, you as the player will step in the shoes as one of the children. Escaping the clutches of the witch is not as easy as once thought. You must complete a series of puzzles presented within the Witches house, in completing each one, an element towards breaking the spell on the house is unlocked.
