The Puzzle Of The Fantastic Fungus

Keep an amorphous, alien fungus alive as it's own runaway biology consumes it from the inside! Place different materials that react to the organism and to each other in different ways - use these interactions to devise a strategy that will keep just enough fungus alive for just long enough in this fast-paced sandbox survival challenge! 

Inspired by years of playing Powder Game: https://dan-ball.jp/en/javagame/dust2/

Strategy Hints:

- Bigger is not always better - you will need to intentionally destroy sections of your fungus just as often as grow more to succeed.  Can you find a way to use your most dangerous tools in a safe and controlled manner?

-  Keep on the move, and build barriers against the purple reaction as often as possible. The reaction, once started, spreads much more quickly than healthy fungus slowly becomes unhealthy.  Even a single pixel wide wall of the right materials will completely defend healthy sections of your fungus from the reaction or a raging fire on the other side !

- Remember, if even one green pixel survives, the fungus will grow back safe and sound. When in a desperate situation, focus on saving the smallest, healthiest, most easily defend-able section you can find (or make ahead of time!) and let the rest react away.

- Placing materials erases what was below them. Use this to control the spread of fires and to clean up the last little bit of purple reaction that got through an otherwise successful barrier.

- Everything comes down to knowing what each material can and cannot do (and, from there, where and when to use it!), so play around in Free Play mode to see how different materials interact. Also see what kinds of fun behaviors you can make happen when you have full control over what materials to place!
