The Spore Wars is actually a sequel to what will be an earlier released DS title, Mushroom Men - Rise of the Fungi, where it is explained how the Mushroom Men come to be. You see, a comet has passed over the Earth leaving in its wake an ethereal green luminescent dust that humans, in their wisdom, have determined to be harmless. Harmless to humans that is.
John Little reviews the PC puzzle platformer, Mushroom Men: Truffle Trouble - a follow up to 2008's Wii game Spore Wars.
BeefJack writes: "Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars is a miniature 3D action/adventure platformer. I say miniature as it is played out from a 3-inch high perspective with some really original characters and themes that make for good eye candy throughout the game. The whole world is intriguing as you set out on your adventure playing through gardens, grass, logs, trees and pipes, and over tabletops, sinks, toilets and other household objects. When playing you really do get the feeling you have been shrunk and sucked into the world from a Mushrooms perspective."
GDN: "Meet Pax, in his world a big meteorite just fell from the sky and changed his world as he once knew it, us humans knew nothing about it and our world carries on as normal. Pax is from a friendly fungi tribe who live in happiness but since the great shining rock landed the more poisonous of the shrooms threaten the very existence of Pax's edible friends and family. Since the meteorite landed Pax discovered that he can absorb parts of the mysterious rock and sets off to find out what's happening to him much to the disgust of his enemies."
