Welcome to Early Access Mushroom Crushing!
Hello, prospective mushroom crushers! Mushroom Crusher Extreme has finally landed on Steam Early Access. We hope you'll have fun with the game, but first and foremost, stick around and send us feedback to help us develop it further.
Our plan is to try to put out bi-weekly (or so) updates throughout our Early Access Adventure, each containing a new feature and some bug fixes. We will usually post changelogs and details in these announcements, so make sure to follow MCE to get the latest news.
The biggest upcoming feature will most likely be the online/offline multiplayer mode, for which we will need as many testers as possible. As an added incentive, the Early Access price is also less than the eventual full version price, which is yet undetermined.
One of the best ways to reach us with your feedback, is posting on the MCE Steam forums. Lots of other players can then weigh in on the issue also, which is even better.
You can also send us an email at info@mushroomcrusher.com
In addition to following these announcements, you can get in on Mushroom Crusher news and other shenanigans by following us on social media. Twitter and Facebook are generally for quick news, while the devblog contains more of an in-depth look into Mushroom Crusher development.
