Our take on Goobies
Rather than centering combat on aiming and attack input, the game makes build construction the main activity. Character passives, item upgrades, and artifacts shape each run, while generated islands and rising difficulty replace a fixed campaign structure.
What is Goobies?
Goobies is a top-down auto-shooter with roguelike elements.
Players travel between islands while fighting continuous enemy waves, including smaller blobs and large bosses. Levels are generated procedurally, and the challenge increases during progression. Five playable Goobies offer different passive abilities and playstyles. Runs provide more than 30 collectible items, with many items offering several upgrade paths. Up to 20 artifacts can alter gameplay mechanics and visuals. Goobie coins collected during runs unlock additional power, while an in-game encyclopedia records progress and presents lore. The game centers on combining items, upgrades, artifacts, and character abilities to create increasingly strong builds during repeated runs.
