The Watcher
An eyeball that never holds still. It is convinced nobody can see it. It is an eyeball.
Watch
The monsters thought they were the scary ones.
Top 100 Leaderboard
Top scores across iOS and Android and across the world.
The roster
All enemies fully biodegradable.
The Maw
Swallows your ball and holds onto it. Big on wordplay. Not great at phrasing.
The Bloat
Fades in and out, slimes your ball. One of its eyes has wandered off. It hasn't noticed.
The Skull
Armored (poorly). Helm designed by someone who's never seen a head.
The Fingers
A last remnant of once popular doo-wop groups. The snap of its fingers still instills fear.
The Grub
Spits grease. A greased ball goes wherever it feels like. Grease is flammable. The Grub has not considered this.
Goredo (go-ré-do)
His inhalaction does not discriminate. Friend, foe, or litter - nothing is safe from señor Goredo.
The Twins
One body, two vibes. Codependency in spectacular fashion. Best keep your distance.
The Dark Watcher
Ancient. Eldritch. All powerful. But social security doesn't cut it in this economy. Begrudgingly employed.
The Bloatriarch
Bloat royalty. Crowned by...well, nobody knows. He cares not, for thee not for me!
?
The Boss
The one trying to manage 25 levels of nightmare creatures. Menaces, but would rather be on PTO.
What's in the box
A brick-breaker with a few opinions.
- Moves to masterAim every launch and dash to reach the ball. Recall pulls the ball back to you, smashing through anything in its way. Parry the ball as it lands to heat it up; the fourth parry catches it and fires it back as a comet.
- Story modeTwenty-five levels, four minibosses, and a final boss fight in three phases. Three difficulty settings, and Easy still has every level.
- Endless modeSurvive wave after wave for as long as you can. Your best score goes on a global leaderboard, live on this page.
- Cartoon goreMonsters show damage as you hit them and burst apart when they die. The pieces stay on the floor.
- Unlockable outfitsHats and jackets for your paddle, earned as you play.
- Short levels, plays offlineA level takes three to five minutes. Leave mid-level and it pauses until you're back. No internet needed. It doesn't ask where you went.
The deal
Everything the game asks of you, in full.
Free
The whole game
Every level, every boss, every hat. When you run out of lives, you can watch an ad for a continue. You can also not. Ads only ever offer you something and never interrupt you.
One purchase
Ad-free, forever
The same continue and the same powerup pick, without the ad. Nothing else changes. No advantage, no second currency. The store shows the price in your currency.
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
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+.
Can I play GoreBoy in short bursts?
Yes. A level takes three to five minutes, win or lose. Leave the app mid-level and it pauses right where you were. Checkpoint codes take you back to any zone you've beaten.
Does GoreBoy work offline?
Yes. Every level, every boss, and Endless play without a connection. Ads need a signal, so there's no continue ad offline. With ad-free, the continue works anyway. A best Endless run set offline waits, and goes up on the leaderboard the next time you're online.
Is GoreBoy a casual game?
It's easy to start. It's not easy to get good at. Under the gore is a skill game: aim off the walls, yank the ball back through the field, parry it into a comet, chain kills for the multiplier. Hard is the game. Endless is where it shows.
Is there a leaderboard?
Yes. In GoreBoy's Endless mode, the waves keep coming until you die. Post the run and it goes on the global leaderboard. One board, every difficulty. Your best run counts, whatever it was on, and the board says which. The leaderboard is live on this page.
