Gloop
Gloop is a cute and laid-back 3D puzzle-platformer. It follows the adventure of a little slime set on finding a tape collection - owned but lost by their skater-bear friend, Beauregard. It's up to the player to see this journey through, using shape-shifting and merging, along with other slimmy mechanics.
