Our take on Terrorarium
Its puzzles hinge on shepherding expendable walking mushrooms and throwing them at enemies, making the creatures both the tools and the cost of progress.
What is Terrorarium?
Terrorarium is a 3D puzzle platformer in which The Gardener, a space granny, leads genetically engineered walking mushrooms called Moogu through alien levels.
Players shepherd the creatures and throw them at enemies to solve puzzles and protect the Moogu spawn. The campaign contains over 50 levels across multiple planets, with checkpoints for respawning. Maker Mode lets players build levels using more than 200 3D obstacles and share creations through Steam Workshop. Players can also try and rate community-made levels. Gore accumulates across replays, and Moogu can stick monsters in place or be used to build fuses.
