About the Game

Gloop is a brain-teasing puzzle game that challenges players to guide colorful blob creatures called "gloops" through obstacle-filled levels. Using a limited inventory of colored arrows, players must create paths that navigate gloops around water hazards, holes, and barriers while collecting resources and matching colors to destinations.

With increasing complexity across multiple levels, Gloop offers satisfying "aha!" moments for puzzle enthusiasts of all ages. Perfect for fans of Lemmings-style games and path-planning puzzles.

Game Features

Color-Based Mechanics

Gloops follow arrows matching their color, and can change colors by passing through color splotches, adding layers of strategic depth.

Resource Collection

Gloops pick up leaves to cross water and boulders to fill holes, creating permanent paths for subsequent gloops.

Each level provides a specific set of arrows, challenging players to find optimal solutions with minimal resources.

Multiple Difficulty Levels

Progress from simple single-color tutorials to complex multi-zone puzzles requiring careful planning.

Adjustable Game Speed

Play at slow, normal, or fast speeds to watch your solution unfold or quickly test new strategies.
