The first posts from reviewers and bloggers are already online.
Brad Gallaway speaks well of Mushroom Men in his Drinking Coffeecola blog.
GameZone got their hands on the game at PAX, too. Sounds like they had a good time.

A 2008 IGF Showcase winner is us!
July 28, 2008
The organizers of the Independent Games Festival have announced the nine winners of the Austin GDC IGF Showcase, picking the very best examples of ‘local flavor’ in terms of indie games from Austin and the Southern U.S. to be exhibited at the Austin Game Developers Conference from September 15th to 17th.
Some of the top local titles span the gamut from one-man teams through tightly focused console indies, including Texas-honed games such as physics-heavy iPhone puzzler Enigmo, CosMind’s evocative art-game Glum Buster, Red Fly Studios’ Wii/DS quirky Mushroom Men duo, knockabout Guildhall @ SMU student title ToyBox Heroes, and user-generated game website Mockingbird.
