About This Game

Gob, a classic RPG slime, finds himself in a predicament when he stumbles upon a "Hero" slaying innocent people and other slimes in the pursuit of the Goblet Eternal. When the hero realizes he's been spotted committing his crimes, he chases Gob through dangerous terrain wielding his deadly sword. The "Hero" will stop at nothing to silence Gob for what he has seen, but Gob is cunning and won't be caught easily.

Snow and ice squalls can be deadly unless Gob can outrun them

Nice retro 2D platformer. But you have to press up to move left and down to move right when you are using the control pad (could also be down for left and up for right, don't remember exactly).

This game is a two button platformer, which I didn't realize going on. Personally, it's not my cup of tea, but if you like those sorts of games, this one is a pleasant entry into the genre. I only played through the first two levels, so the gameplay might change later on, but either way, the music is good but not great, the level design seems solid, though again I've only played the two levels. Overall, if you like the genre, I'd say it's worth it for $5.
