Guide him through more than 60 levels containing sharp saws, drills, lasers, creatures, closing doors, electricity, and other hazards. The game includes levels with different speeds and lengths, bonus stages, Easter eggs, and a rescue-team storyline that follows Gum Guy’s family as they search for him.
