  • music
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's music consists of a single, short track that loops continuously, leading to a repetitive and often grating experience for players. While some appreciate the ideas and stories behind the soundtrack, many find the lack of variety frustrating, with the option to mute the music and play their own preferred tracks available in the settings. Overall, the music aspect is seen as a significant drawback.

    • “Great ideas, soundtrack, and stories, but not a perfect game for puzzles.”
    • “The background music gets repetitive after listening for a while, but you can turn it off in the settings and play your own music.”
    • “Only a single short song on repeat, but it can be muted.”
    • “The music loop is infuriating and grating to the nerves.”
    • “The background music gets repetitive after listening for so long, but you can turn it off in the settings and play your own music (I was yawning like crazy).”
    • “Only a single short song on repeat (can be muted).”
  • story
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features a charming and engaging story centered around a character named Miguel the mushroom, which unfolds as players complete each of the 12 jigsaw puzzles. While the narrative is enjoyable and suitable for all ages, it is noted to be relatively short. The unique twist of allowing players to interact with the scene after puzzle completion adds an extra layer of immersion to the storytelling experience.

    • “Interesting how the completion of each puzzle tells the story of the little mushroom.”
    • “Lovely jigsaw puzzle game in which you control the cute miguelshroom (best character name ever!) interacting with the scenario and unveiling the story after assembling each board.”
    • “Small indie jigsaw game with a twist: you can walk in the scene and follow the story once you finish assembling each of the 12 puzzles.”
  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are characterized by beautiful pixel art and a cute aesthetic, which some players find appealing. However, many reviewers criticize the repetitive use of the same scenes for different puzzles, leading to a lack of variety that detracts from the overall experience. While the visuals contribute to a wholesome and relaxing vibe, they may not be well-suited for a puzzle game.

    • “Miguelshroom is a wonderful game with beautiful pixel art graphics.”
    • “Pros: nice graphics, wholesome relaxing vibe, very cheap.”
    • “Despite being a short game, the graphics are reused over and over.”
    • “I was expecting at least different scenes for each puzzle, not the same scene graphics just moved around a bit.”
    • “Yes, the visuals are very cute, but not good for a puzzle game.”
  • stability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game is significantly hampered by a consistently buggy cursor, which frequently misselects pieces and sometimes fails to register selections altogether. Additionally, users report issues with translation and bugs affecting both puzzle and adventure modes, further detracting from the overall experience.

    • “The cursor is buggy and often selects a different piece than the one it is pointing at.”
    • “The cursor is buggy and occasionally does not even select the piece it is pointing at.”
    • “There are bad translations and bugs present in both puzzles and adventure mode.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is considered brief but enjoyable, with users feeling that the experience is worth the low price point, particularly when purchased on sale. Additionally, there is a mention of a control issue where an accidental key press can skip gameplay, indicating a potential need for more intuitive controls.

    • “You do not have to hold down 'H'; I pressed it by accident and it skipped right on by the gameplay.”
    • “You do not have to hold down 'H'; I pressed it by accident and it skipped right by the gameplay.”
    • “I also got it on sale at $1.37, so I think it was worth the buck for the hour of gameplay.”
  • emotional
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report that the game evokes a unique emotional response, describing feelings of strangeness and unusualness, despite its simplicity.
