The main complaint I have read about for Mushroom Men: Rise of the Fungi was that the controls were really hard to use. They were hard to use due to the size of the screen from what I've seen. I have only played this game on the DSiXL and due to the larger screen I have not ran into these problems, this allowed me to really engross myself in the game because I was not fighting the controls.

Pros:
Great style- this game has a very unique style that is all on its one.
Good Story- Simple but goes very smoothly.
Good Sound- The music was made by one of the best, Les Claypool.
Weapons- You make your weapons out of random houshold objects.
Price- $5 is hard to beat for this game.

Cons:
Controls- Would be very frustrating on a standard size screen. Works Great on the DSiXL.
Combat- Very basic combat system.

This is fun for everyone but i will not lie it is a beast to beat.The game is great for the items you get to optimize in several ways such as if you find a pill and some batteries,you make acid pills that kill your enemies the bugs.The story line is great and very catchy on the graphics,check it out for real!!!!!!!!!!

I was completely looking forward to this game- interesting characters, basic fighting, scavenging, and roaming around a 2.5d world collecting stuff- things I love in most games I choose to play. But no! Super bummer! This game is ridiculously hard. Not fun hard, annoying hard. Any time you fall (almost any fall, even the tiniest one) you die. With the amount of jumping and trusting a easily breakable grapple to get around in this game you die. A lot. Which really ruins the fun of immersing yourself in a game. Within a half an hour of playing, I was ready to throw my DS (XL too, so that didn't seem to help) out the window. I don't even want to try and trade it in since I don't want to curse anyone else with it. Not worth my money or yours.

This game suffers from a recurring DS problem -- it feels obligated to make use of the touchscreen. You have to use the D-pad, the buttons and the touchscreen to get through a level -- often while being attacked.

The style looks neat, but it doesn't matter because it's unplayable.

This games is alright...I gave up on it like right away...it just did not hold my attention...
