About the Game

ONE STEP INTO A RABBIT HOLE, ONE GIANT LEAP INTO DESTINY...

Gumbo is a sci-fi survival adventure that redefines voxel exploration, where every block is a living, breathing alien creature with personality and purpose. Explore procedurally generated worlds as you uncover the mystery behind the dark forces threatening the Gumbo civilization.

MEET THE GUMBOS!

Gumbos are cute, small, rounded, jelly, gooey, blobby living voxel creature species! 

Build and upgrade together with adorable alien blobs, each with unique traits and abilities that aid your quest.

SCIENTIST’S TOOLKIT

As an exploration scientist, with your sampling gun you can collect and then shoot to utilize Gumbos: either to deploy and use them as resources, or to combat threats. Unlock upgrades one step at a time to defy the darkness.

CHALLENGING OR COZY

We plan to feature 2 modes for singleplayer experience:

  • Adventure: classic mode with enemies, combat and other challenges

  • Casual: Cozy mode with no-enemies just the non-pressure challenges

FUN WITH FRIENDS

Gumbo is designed and developed to support multiplayer from the ground up. I plan to deliver Co-Op for singleplayer. Also planning to support main game with PvP and Co-Op multiplayer modes. Multiplayer modes and what they will look like is work-in-progress right now, follow and join community for feedback updates.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Gumbo is developed by a single indie developer right now. I plan for these key features right now for early access and then launch afterwards:

  • Living Voxel World - Every block is a living Gumbo creature with unique personality and abilities

  • Sampling Gun - Collect, store, and deploy Gumbos as resources for upgrades or combat situations

  • Procedural Galaxy Exploration - Discover huge worlds filled with secrets and mysteries

  • Progressive Upgrades - Unlock new abilities and equipment to expand your capabilities using Gumbos as resources

  • Dual Game Modes - Choose between challenging Adventure mode or relaxing Casual mode without enemies

  • Multiplayer Ready - Built from ground up to support future Co-op campaign and future PvP/Co-op modes

  • Immersive Sci-Fi Narrative - Uncover the truth behind the dark forces threatening Gumbo civilization

Hope you enjoy! You can reach from Discord or from Steam Discussions board to share your ideas and bug reports. Your feedback is very valuable, let's improve the game together!
