Our take on Goblins and Grottos
The page presents the campaign and the creation tools as major parts of the game. That makes the product's focus split between a handcrafted revenge platformer and a system for building and sharing player-made content.
What is Goblins and Grottos?
Control a goblin fleeing rapacious adventurers in a humorous platform game built around hand-made pixel-art stages and scripted physical interactions.
Scale vertical surfaces, suspend the goblin from hanging links, knock foes with movable barrels, and tempt pursuers toward hazards using promised treasure. The included story begins after the goblin’s family is killed and travels from underground areas to the woodland, settlement, and mountain in pursuit of the culprit. Adventurers improve their levels, gear, and abilities, while the goblin remains unchanged. A level-building tool lets players create maps, hazards, riddles, characters, conversations, narratives, and cinematic scenes. Finished creations can be published online alongside access to maps and stories from other players.
