Glorpo's Jam-o Demo!

A cute, round, magenta slime creature with green googly eyes. It is sticking out its long tongue to catch a glowing green fuel pellet.

You are Glorpo, an alien who operates a deep space salvage and rescue service. This career choice is a bit questionable, since you are a sticky blob creature with no arms or legs, but you'll try your best!

Game by John Croisant, with music by Matthew Croisant. Created in one month for the Games For Blind Gamers 3 game jam, where it ranked #1 for fun gameplay, and #2 for setting, story, characters, and world.

Controls

This is a 2D puzzle platformer game. You can roll left and right, or use your springy tongue to grab the ceiling and fling yourself around! You can also use your tongue to grab and swallow objects, then press the tongue button again to spit them out!

You can cycle between targets to hear what objects are in the current room, then press and hold the tongue button to grab the target with your tongue, or spit the object in your mouth toward the target.

Gamepad Controls

  • Left joystick to move, and to manually aim your tongue/spit.
  • Left and Right Shoulder buttons to cycle between targets to aim your tongue/spit.

  • On menu screens, navigate the UI using the D-pad, Left and Right shoulder buttons, "A" button to confirm, and "B" button to go back.

Keyboard/Mouse Controls

  • On menu screens, navigate the UI using the arrow keys, Tab and Shift+Tab, Enter to confirm, Esc to go back, etc.

Tips

Glorpo makes a slurping sound when moving. If you don't hear it, you may have run into the forcefields in the Mining Bay (left side) or Engineering (right side). You cannot move beyond the forcefields, but objects and your tongue can pass through them.

I heard somewhere that there is a secret objective to complete.

Absolutely superb. I don't really know what you can do with all the foods, but I did complete the bonus objective of have a snack. Are there any tips for the secret? I managed to launch the ship.

Thank you so much for playing! The secret objective was broken by a last-minute change, but it's fixed now. It's a very simple one, but I have ideas for other secrets I may add later. :D
