MCE Version 0.95.1 – December 21st, 2016


Mushroom Crusher Extreme Update 0.95.0



Ho-ho-howdy, everyone! Winter holidays are almost here, and it means people getting together. And, in the Shroom world, you don’t need to be close to get together anymore, as we’ve just launched Online Co-op mode!

http://youtu.be/fW7Nq1sRTN8

In addition to that we’ve also fixed some bugs, made some balance adjustments and (here comes the dessert!) added some special Holiday visuals. Winter Wonderland is in Pratumea (or, at least, some of its parts), enjoy!

Enjoy the update and Happy Holidays!

MCE Version 0.95.0 - December 20th, 2016



  • Features:

    • Online Co-Op

      • Starting Online Co-op

        • You can start the Online Co-op mode in Main Menu by pressing on the button in the top left corner of the screen and selecting “Online Co-op”
        • You can play in Public mode, where the game will find another player for you by random, or use Friends mode to play with your Steam friends
        • Selecting the region closest to yours for minimal possible lag. In Public mode you can only join people in the same region. In Friends mode, the region is decided by whoever hosts the game.
        • Players can chat to each other with the TAB key both in menus and in-game
        • You can view other players’ equipment from the Equipment Menu


    • Host Player

      • In Online mode, one player will act as a host. In Public matchmaking it will usually be the player who started searching first.
      • In case players have same Spells and Trinkets equipped when joining in Online Co-op, host’s equipment will take priority over the other player.
      • Only the host can change the level, but both players have to agree to play it by pressing Ready.
      • Other player can suggest a level to the host by pressing on it in the Level Select menu.
      • Host cannot select a level that hasn't been unlocked by the other player.

    • Accomplishments

      • When in Accomplishment menu, clicking on Accomplishments you have completed lets the other player know of your greatness.
      • Clicking on Accomplishments you haven't completed lets the other player know that you'd like to attempt completing them.
      • In Online Co-op, Accomplishments progress differently compared to Local Co-Op.

        • Most Accomplishments are counted individually for each player
        • For example: When you defeat an enemy with LV1 Fireball, only you will progress towards the 'We BURN!' Accomplishment
        • Some Accomplishments still require cooperation from both players, for example, beating a level with Fire spells only requires that BOTH players only equip Fire pells.


    • Loot in Online Co-op

      • Both players have their own private loot dropped on the ground, not visible for the other player. Health Extracts are the only exception
      • Collected Spores and Trinkets are not shared!
      • Enemies defeated by both players can drop Spores and Trinkets.



<*>Adjustments:

  • Updated several dictionary entries
  • Adjusted all boss Spore drops
  • Lowered Frozen Lagoon's difficulty a little bit
  • Lowered some spell cooldowns & damages
  • Some slight Trinket balancing
  • Special Holiday visuals added to the game
