Spilled Mushrooms is a card puzzle game about delivering mushrooms using a squad of friendly animals.

Puzzles are framed as mushroom deliveries gone awry, requiring the player to strategically request assistance from their arsenal of critter companions to collect the lost mushrooms before the delivery deadline in one week. Each turn represents one day, so a puzzle is exactly seven turns. Each turn, the player must choose between two animals to send to one of the three areas they've dropped their mushrooms in; the other animal is placed at the bottom of the deck and will be available again on a later turn. The player must collect all of the mushrooms in all of the areas before the end of day 7 in order to complete the puzzle.

Puzzles are procedurally generated and are guaranteed to be solvable.

Critters have two stats, baskets and time, and up to two traits. The baskets represent how many mushrooms that critter will collect per turn, and the time represents how many turns the critter will be active for. Many traits will modify a critter's stats or impact their ability to collect mushrooms each day.

Areas have one stat, the number of mushrooms remaining, and up to one trait.

Trophies

When a player meets certain criteria during a delivery, they may receive trophies to acknowledge them. Trophies are purely for fun and give no rewards. While most trophies have a unique icon and will be saved to a puzzle's history, some trophies share a star icon and are just used for milestones like completing 100 deliveries.
