## Description

_Shroomz_ is a Mr. Driller clone made for the casual market. The gameplay
remains the same as in the original: the player must guide a character to the
bottom of the screen, by digging through a pile of tiles (in this game most of
them are multicolored mushrooms).

The main character is a little girl called Bashful wearing boxing gloves, and
her mission is to rescue her lost puppy. Players control the kid with either
the keyboard or the mouse, as she punches downwards and sideways, destroying
all the connected obstacles and drinking a purple elixir to recover health.
Bashful can climb over the height of one tile, and the player must be careful
with falling tiles while penetrating deeper. Each level starts with three
lives, and Bashful can die squished by the falling debris, exploded by bombs
or expire by lack of elixir.

Besides the destructible tiles, including a more resilient stone that takes
several punches to break, there are some power-ups to help the girl. They are
activated with punches and some of them, like the bombs, can kill Bashful if
she doesn’t get away in time. Instead of saving, the game offers a password
system to record progress.
