About the Game

Not so long ago…

The party-loving Globulons threw a rave so wild that it shattered their cherished Oracle Jukebox––the sole source of music in the Mixolydian Galaxy. To restore cosmic harmony, a lone Globulon named Goob emerges, setting its sights on abducting the Milky Way's source of sound. To do this, Goob must sneak to the top of Astral Ace’s penthouse party in a towering spacescraper. In this top-down, rhythm-stealth game, players groove their way across vibrant dance floors, evade wild partygoers, and absorb dancers to inherit their unique rhythms.

Dance like Everyone's Watching

Engage in rhythm-stealth gameplay, where each level unfolds a rhythmic adventure. Move consistently to the beat, and elevate your dance style by switching up rhythms through the absorption of fellow dancers. The cosmic party comes alive with Dynamic Dance-Offs, triggered when Goob slips up in front of other dancers. Prove your party prowess in these encounters by matching button inputs with precision and hopefully evading detection.

An Absorbent Alien Attacks

Unleash Goob's shapeshifting power by absorbing unsuspecting dancers strategically. Goob will not only copy their appearance but also their unique rhythms; use this power wisely to navigate across dangerous dance tiles with cunning and creativity.

Groove that Goob invites you to a galaxy where rhythm meets stealth. Dance your way through the vibrant disco, face off in deadly dances, and absorb the essence of the party to orchestrate a cosmic comeback!
