Is Goop Loop worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Platformer fans who want physics-driven movement
- Players who enjoy retrying climbs after losing progress
- Players who want humorous narration during obstacle-based gameplay
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a broad set of movement abilities may find the jump-and-stick controls narrow.
- Players who dislike repeated setbacks may find falling and losing progress frustrating.
- Players looking for combat or a story-focused adventure may find the obstacle-climbing focus too limited.
Our take on Goop Loop
The focused movement system gives the game a single central challenge, but leaves little room for alternate play styles. Falling can erase substantial progress, making repeated momentum-building attempts part of the trade-off.
What is Goop Loop?
Goop Loop is a physics-based platformer about a piece of goop trapped inside a loop.
The available actions are jumping and sticking, with control over jump direction and some movement in the air. These actions affect the loop's physics, allowing it to roll and build momentum for climbing hills, crossing gaps, and passing other obstacles. Falling sends the loop back down and removes part of the progress made. A narrator delivers pun-based commentary during attempts to reach the top. The game also includes different goop colors to discover.
