BRING GUP-14 BACK TO LIFE
Your mission: Clean up the ocean planet of GUP-14 after it was abandoned by GUPPI, a mega-corporation that makes and sells everything from soda to spaceships. When you first arrive on the planet, you’ll find yourself amid murky waters, oil spills, and scattered junk.
Within the polluted environments, you’ll find remnants of GUPPI’s buildings, ships, and machinery all sunken to the ocean floor. Discover clues about the planet’s past inhabitants as you clean up the mess they left behind using an assortment of high-tech gadgets.
BEFRIEND ALL THE LODDLES
As you clean up the planet, you’ll run into axolotl-like aliens known as “loddles.” Protect them from the polluted waters and feed them aquatic fruits while you make their planet habitable again. Depending on their diet, loddles will grow in different ways and develop unique traits and abilities that will further enable them to survive on this polluted planet.
When the loddles are strong enough and the waters are cleaner, release them back into the wild and watch them thrive!

Delve even deeper to discover Goddle Grotto, a secret sixth biome that is home to three mythical Goddles. Make use of the new gardening system to collect seedlings, grow your own flora, and increase each biome's resistance to pollution. Plus, track the positions of all pollutants with the new Global Pollution Tracker, expand your backpack with the new Inventory Capacity Module, and acquire gold versions of your tools by completing different milestones that will ultimately unlock a modified ending cutscene.
