What is Goo Goo Grapplers?
Goo Goo Grapplers is a local 1v1 brawler that combines MOBA-style lane battles with couch multiplayer.
Players control super-powered babies, push lanes, contest map objectives, and attack each other across maps with one or several lanes. During matches, a shop offers ability upgrades and passive effects, allowing different combinations of tools such as Sticky Hand, Building Blocks, Bouncy Balls, and RC cars. A Last Stand mechanic can give a losing player another chance. Smart split-screen supports close-range play, while training mode provides a separate space for experimentation.
