The Story
A slimy dad on a gooey rescue mission!
A lazy afternoon turns chaotic when a mysterious bucket sucks Gloop’s four mischievous kids into a vibrant, color-filled dimension. Now it's up to him—a lovable slime and single dad—to jump inside, master the art of color shifting, and rescue his quirky children!
Match Gloop’s color to the floors as you carefully navigate each stage. Watch your step, because touching the wrong color spells disaster! Shift between green, red, blue, and yellow by touching buckets filled with colorful ink to safely reach Gloop’s adorable kids and bring them back home.
Along the way, you’ll encounter tricky obstacles. Push boxes matching Gloop’s current color to climb higher platforms, and open locked doors by finding and activating levers of the correct color to advance your journey.
Ready to jump, splash, and slime your way through the ink dimension? Gloop’s family depends on you!
The game also includes the ROM file you can burn and play on your original hardware if you have it!

Hi. Any further information about the complete game for megadrive? when will it be released?
Hello! If you just want the Megadrive ROM, the Steam release includes it.
If you want the physical edition, it was planned for June but the publisher did not have time to finish all, so we hope during summer :)
Ok thanks, I think we'll take the ROM on Steam for the megadrive version review. What's the price for the physical version? Any link to the publisher?
For review proposes feel free to DM us on X/BlueSky for a review copy :)!
As for the physical version price, I assume similar to the other game they did?
This is the publisher and their other game : https://theretroroomgames.com/products/prisonela-md
Many thanks for your interest! Unluckily, blue sky tells me you can't get private messages. Please feel free to continue this discussion with this email address, contatti(at)zzapmagazine.it. Thank you.
I wrote you now as well as fixed that setting! Thanks a lot for the heads up!
