GLUM is an action game full of dark (and sometimes even vulgar) humor, referred to by its creators as a "First-Person Booter". The game was developed by the independent studio CinderCat Games from Denmark and represents its debut project.

Gameplay

In GLUM, we watch events from a first-person perspective (FPP).

With a magical boot around the world

During the game, we embody a goblin who rushes through a fantasy land, cursing and kicking everything and everyone who stands in his way. Kicks serve the protagonist both for directly attacking enemies and for sending elements of the environment (like flower pots) towards them or deflecting projectiles flying in his direction. Additionally, with their help, he can push enemies onto objects.

Creative kicks

Our actions are being continuously scored by the Menace Style system. The received score can be increased with the help of multipliers provided to us by linking blows into spectacular combinations. All of this is meant to encourage us to show creativity on the battlefield.

Collectibles

In addition, it's worth looking around carefully along the way, as various collectible items have been placed in the locations we visit.
