Our take on Ash & Adam's GOBSMACKED
The focus on compact arena runs trades broader exploration and campaign progression for repeated combat-focused attempts. Procedural layouts and upgrade choices add variation, but the structure remains centered on fighting waves, performing for spectators, and starting another run.
What is Ash & Adam's GOBSMACKED?
Play as a goblin gladiator in a compact first-person roguelite built around chaotic arena fights.
Battle waves of junkbots, move through arenas with grappling, gliding, double-jumping, climbing, and stomping, and perform for spectators who determine the rewards. Runs combine shooting, melee attacks, and physical interactions: objects can be grabbed, thrown, kicked, or destroyed. Cash earned during play can buy permanent equipment for future runs or upgrades for the current arena. Weapon modifications include making a flamethrower’s attacks bounce off walls or causing melee hits to explode on impact. Arenas are procedurally generated, with vertical routes and momentum-based movement shaping each run.
