GoreBoy

A brick-breaker. The bricks are monsters. They would like a word.

He's not here to save the world. It's more of a personal errand.

Mm.
The paddle: a steel bar with a face, wearing a brown coat, unimpressed.

Watch

Thirty seconds of things that thought they were scary.

The board

Live from Endless. Everybody on it lost eventually. This is how much damage they did first.

The roster

Twenty-five levels. Every one of these is in there, and every one of them is confident.

The Watcher, a floating bloodshot eyeball.

The Watcher

An eyeball that never holds still. It is convinced nobody can see it. It is an eyeball.

The Maw, a mouth full of crooked teeth, wide open.

The Maw

A mouth with nothing behind it. Big on wordplay. Not great at phrasing.

The Bloat, an oily translucent blob. One eye has wandered off on its own.

The Bloat

Phases in and out of existence, which it considers very clever. One of its eyes has wandered off. It hasn't noticed.

The Skull, an armored helmet with an exposed brain and red eyes.

The Skull

Wears a helmet designed by someone who had never seen a head. The Skull has opinions about this. Nobody has ever heard one.

The Fingers, a severed grasping hand.

The Fingers

A hand with no one attached and can *snap* on beat. Used to be in a doo-wop group. Used to be the whole doo-wop group.

The Grub, a pale larva.

The Grub

Spits grease. A greased ball goes wherever it feels like. Grease is flammable. The Grub has not considered this.

Goredo, a vast pale fatty.

Goredo (go-ré-do)

Inhales whatever is nearby - food, coworkers. Spanish speaking in a unilingual world. Has a story about your girlfriend he'd like to tell you.

The Twins, two conjoined creatures sharing one body.

The Twins

Two heads, one body. One drives, the other cries. Codependency is a painful thing to witness. You almost feel bad.

The Dark Watcher, a shadowy eye crackling with energy.

The Dark Watcher

One of the Ancients. Power unmatched. Contagious fear. But...times are tough and even an eldritch has to pay the bills.

The Bloatriarch, a crowned, outraged bloat.

The Bloatriarch

A Bloat in a crown. King of...well, nobody knows. However it has the size and attitude of royalty.

The Boss

Middle/upper management. He has the girl. His powers and weaknesses both inspired by Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid (which belongs to Konami and they'd want that made clear).

What's in the box

A brick-breaker with a few opinions.

  • RecallYank the ball back through whatever is in the way. It hits harder on the way home.
  • ParryCatch the ball on the bar, hold it, and fire it back as a comet.
  • Twenty-five levelsFour minibosses on the way. One boss at the end, in three phases, with a hostage.
  • PowerupsMitosis, Gigantism, Cannonball, Snowball, Widen. Each one changes what the ball is.
  • GoreEnemies degrade as you hit them and come apart when you finish. The pieces stay on the floor.
  • The lockerHats and jackets you earn by doing things. The crowns are for swatting royalty.
  • Checkpoint codesBeat a zone, get a code. Type it in later, start there. Like it used to work.
  • Easy, Normal, HardHard is the game. Easy is still the game.
  • EndlessWaves until you die, ranked against everyone else who did.

The deal

Tips

Buy the dev a coffee

A drip, a latte, or the good beans. Unlocks nothing. The paddle will thank you in person, briefly.

No loot boxes. No gems. No energy timers. Rated 13+ for cartoon gore and a monster with a mouth on it.

Questions

We asked the paddle to answer these. He said “Mm.”

What is GoreBoy?

GoreBoy is a comedy horror brick-breaker for iPhone and Android. The bricks are monsters, and they come apart when you finish them. Twenty-five levels, four minibosses, and one boss in three phases.

Is it free?

Yes. All of GoreBoy is free. Ads are optional: watch one for a continue, or don't. One purchase removes them for good. There's also a tip jar. It unlocks nothing.

Which phones does it run on?

iPhone and Android. GoreBoy is coming to the App Store and Google Play.

When does it come out?

Soon. GoreBoy doesn't have a release date yet. When it does, the App Store and Google Play badges on this page will start working.

Is it scary? Is it gory?

Gory, yes. Scary, not really. The monsters think they're terrifying. Then they come apart in cartoon gore, and the pieces stay on the floor. GoreBoy is rated 13+.

Is there a leaderboard?

Yes. In GoreBoy's Endless mode, the waves keep coming until you die. Post the run and it goes on a global leaderboard, one for each difficulty. The board is live on this page.

Get in touch

We read everything. The paddle reads nothing, but he's busy.
