About

Gulpse

Features
Read full description

Every move costs mass. Touch and drag anywhere to aim, then release to launch. Eject fragments to gain thrust, absorb lifeforms with less mass than you, and avoid anything larger. Consume every Goal before time runs out, and collect Stars to improve your level rating. Each level introduces a new spatial challenge. Gravity pulls lifeforms together, some grow or decay over time, pulses disrupt your route, and erosion can turn an easy meal into a costly mistake. Plan your path, manage your mass, and master momentum in a handcrafted offline puzzle game.
