About Goblins & Grottos
Description
A comedy puzzle platformer where you play as a goblin trying to escape from a team of greedy adventurers. Handcrafted levels with delightful pixel art and carefully programmed interactions: climb walls, hang from chains, push barrels onto the heads of your enemies, lure them into traps with the promise of gold coins…
Goblins & Grottos comes with a built-in campaign, starting with the death of your family and following your progress through dungeon levels until you reach the surface world and journey through the forest, the town and the mountain as you try to track down your family's killer. While the adventurers level up and get better equipment and skills, the goblin does not. That's hardly fair is it? And all they seem to care about is the amount of xp they'll get by killing you!
A core part of the game is the built-in level editor and online sharing facility. Build your own levels, share them with the world, and play other people's levels! Define the traps, puzzles, and adventurers in your level.. define their skills and what chat they say as things happen to them. You can even add a story to your level through the other creatures, scrolls and books you put in it, and through the game's powerful cutscene-editing system.

My measure of a great game is when it's buggy as hell, and seemingly unfinished in others, but it's still so original and fun you can't stop playing it. As of writing this, they're on v 1.0.4 and, it's my favorite new platformer since Broforce...

Loved it. It's puzzles are very fun and grow in complexity as the story progresses. The plot is also fun. I recommend taking your time to do the extra puzzles to find muffins that are not required to unlock the door to the next levels. I only wish the story campaign was longer.

It is a cute concept, and humourously executed, but it failed to hold my attention, unfortunately. I keep thinking I will go back and give it another go, but I never do. Maybe someday.

Our first game collaboration with Sam and Ian was a fantastic idea, and we had an absolute blast bringing it to life!
